    I heard that it might be possible to play Blu-Ray discs on your PC. Is this true. I don't want to invest into a Blu-Ray player.

    I have an ASUS A8N-E AMD64 motherboard with 1G RAM and about a 2.4 GigHz processor but could upgrade my video card if that is all that is needed.

    I brought the lg ggc h20 blu ray/ hd dvd reader (doesnt burn but i can rip) No I want the burner so im going to have to sell my reader cheap and put the money towards the burner. If you have the extra cash buy a burner.

    of course, the display resolution on your PC is far greater than your TV, in fact, nearly double
    BUT, you will need a bluray drive in order to read the bluray disc.
    but if you have the blueray file on your PC, then VLC Media Player could play it comfortably.
