How to connect a Blu-Ray Player to a laptop.......if possible?




michael


I have a pavilion g60 hp laptop with a bright-view hd screen. The laptop has an HDMI input. Would I be able to connect a blu-ray player to the laptop and watch movies using the laptop hd screen?


Answer
The laptop's HDMI port is for output - not input. It's for connecting to a HDTV.

There is currently no device for a laptop that would allow you connect your blu-ray drive to the laptop with a HDMI cable. Your best bet would be to see about swapping the DVD drive in your laptop for a blu-ray drive, if they make one for your laptop.

Should i add a Blu-ray player to my Laptop (HP DV6T QUAD EDITION)?

i am about to purchase my customized HP Laptop through their website. one of the customization options is to add a blu-ray optical drive. should I? is it worth the $75?


Answer
If you are in the USA, first read about owner surveys of their laptops and ignore the overpriced macbook:

Then go to Lenovo.com and compare the DV6T to a Lenovo Y580 IdeaPad - 59345717 - Dawn Gray: $999.00
I don't see a DV6T Quad addition offered at their web site, but when I have tried configuring up options to match the Y580, I could not get the the graphics level and the overall price was $300 higher and quality no better.
Getting a blu ray is a choice. Do you watch many blu ray movies on your laptop, or connect to a TV without a bluray player?
The $1000 Lenovo is:
3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3630QM (Faster than 3632)
15.6" 1080p display
GTX 660M 2GB graphics:

8 GB 1600 speed ram, 1TB HDD, backlit keyboard, bluetooth, bluray, 6 cell polymer battery.
There are cheaper models around.
