Why no Blue Ray Player...????

I'll propose five reasons: 1. Circular plastic media is on the way out. Streaming is the future. 2. Blu-ray's draconian DRM requires changes (that will reduce performance) in every part of the system hardware and software the video passes through 3. As a storage medium, it's way too expensive. 4. The 27" iMac has DisplayPort input so (with an adapter) a Blu-Ray player can be attached externally and play through the display. 5. It isn't part of Apples game plan which involves selling movies through the iTunes Store.

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

Returned it after 3 days, but it didn't have a blue ray player. I don't remember the card, so sorry.

I'm sorry Larry, but I really don't know the answer to that. I don't see why it wouldn't, but my system predates blue ray players. I must have a Dinosaur downstairs!!

I have the same question and need for region-free DVD & Blue-ray replay. An answer would be appreciated and very helpful.

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

Try putting in a USB memory stick and then updating firmware. You could plug another blu ray player in to this device using an optical digital cable. I plugged an Xbox in that way, until throwing the whole thing away and swearing off LG devices in this line. The player is junk and LG washed their hands of it and orphaned it.

Huh? This has no HDMI inputs? This is a Blu ray player - kinda pointless w/o at least one HDMI input(?)...or am I missing something?

It has good sound quality, put you do not get an entire screen viewing. I have tried everything, Blue Ray is only in a captioned or shown as a cinema view. I would not recommend this unit.

This is not able to work on your blue ray. I tried it and it would not let you open up the software to download it. This is just meant for computers.

Tried a blue ray disc in mine and it did not play. So, no I believe it does not have a blue ray disc reader. But you cans till get High definition videos from the internet or some other site and it plays very well with the HDMI port to a HD tv.

As more blue Ray disks ship, you'll need to update the firmware which means you'll have to buy wireless adapter or you won't be able to view any new releases. I just found that out myself!!!

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.

Hi there. I just had it put in. I dont think it plays blue ray.. The DVD is good. The only thing is it doesnt play while you are driving, but you can get an adaptor to bypass that. (thats what the installer told me) overall I really like it. If you dont care about navigation, you might want to look at something a bit cheaper.

You need to format it as a FAT32 drive. It comes pre-formatted with the NTFS file system--which can't be read by most Blu-ray players.

Have not tried a blu ray player. It does work we'll with digital signage players, servers, pc's, and xbox consoles.
