Can you connect bluray player through HDMI to computer monitor using HDMI?
HDMI is a common standard so connecting a Bluray player to any HDMI input is likely to work. Computer monitors vary little from their television counterparts but there are one or two reasons why it might not work. First, computer monitors may not be configured to handle broadcast HD signals. The timing and resolution are not standard computer formats so it is worth checking that the monitor can handle 720p 50Hz / 60Hz and 1080i 50Hz / 60Hz. Almost all should handle these format with ease but do the checking anyway. Second, a copy protection system called HDCP is used on most domestic HD equipment and it encodes signals on HDMI connectors. If the monitor does not support HDCP, there is a good chance that some or all of the output from the Bluray player will not be displayed. Once again, a check of the manual should show if the monitor is HDCP compliant.

Can you play a Blu-ray player on a regular tv?
Yes you can. Virtually all Bluray players have an analog output which is standard definition. This can be connected to the video input of any television and you will see a standard definition image from a Bluray disc. The quality won't be as good as is on the disc of course but at least the disc will play. It is normally possible to set up the HDMI connector to output a standard definition signal. This is probably not of much use as almost all televisions that have HDMI inputs will also accept high definition signals. It might also be worth pointing out that standard DVDs will also play on a Bluray player. Using the analog output from the player with a standard DVD playing will give the same quality of image as any standard DVD player.
Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?
DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive.

Hope this helps.
What does HDCP mean as applied to computer monitor cables or connections?
HDCP is a method to encrypt the video and audio travelling on an AV cable (as for example the HDMI or DVI cable that connects your PC to the monitor or your Bluray player to your TV). This is done to prevent you from using the HDMI or DVI outputs of your computer (or bluray player), to copy the audio and video of a movie, by plugging the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of a recorder (yes, there are recorders with HDMI inputs, but they cannot record signals encrypted with HDCP). In plain english, HDCP prevents you from "lifting" the audio and video of an HD movie from the cable. The Hollywood studios mandate that both your playback device (aka computer or bluray player) and your monitor (aka PC monitor or TV) must support HDCP in order to be able to view Bluray-Movie content (and subscription HD satellite/cableTV channels too). On a practical level, any device with an HDMI plug supports HDCP*. But only some DVI devices support HDCP. If both your playback device and your monitor support HDCP, just forget about HDCP. If your are using a PC, just get a software Bluray player like WinDVD (sorry, no free ones exist) and start watching movies. If you are using a bluray player, just put the disc in and start watching, lol. If your playback device or monitor doesn't have HDCP, then the movie will either not play or play downscaled to standard definition (aka DVD quality). This is bad. One solution is to use a piece of software called AnyDVD HD that will convert a protected Bluray-Movie to an unprotected one like the ones you can make at home (it acts as an intemediate between the Bluray drive and the software player). HDCP is required only for protected Blurays, hence you have effectively dodged HDCP. Otherwise you can use the component output of your playback device, which mysteriously allows FullHD playback without HDCP (HDCP is not possible on component).
How do you connect a blu ray DVD player to HDTV?
