So most of you guys know i just got my new computer which ROX and i decided to go with the 1920x1080 monitor bc i saved a ton of money by buyin that over the 1920x1200. Well Here is my delima.

So my computer can play blu ray. However, When i put the blu ray disc in it starts playing then will stop. And a msg comes up that says:

INFORMATION:
this content is protected. Cannot play movie at the current display settings.

I think it goes somethin like that. I checked my display settings and its set to 1920x1080 and thats what blu rays run on??? Im really confused do i need to set the display lower i don't understand at all any help would be great.....THanks Again :D

What are you computer specificaitions? Are you running to you rmonitor using VGA, DVI, or HDMI? What software are you playing these Blu-ray disks with? We need more info.
 
No, you should not have to set your display lower. My 24" samsung monitor is set to 1920 x 1200 and plays blu-ray fine.

Have you run one of the compatibility programs that might point out a problem.
both monitor and graphics card must be HDCP enabled to work off of a DVI connection. Reason others need to know specific HW, ie Monitor, GPU, and playing software.

I believe most ATI 4xxx GPUs work. and NOT all (even late model) monitors are HDCP enabled. THANK Bill and DRM group.

You can try a VGA connection, but you lose quality.

Well the software im using is....I cannot think of the name but its on HP computers im not sure what it is. I would check the software but im on my laptop and my computer is shut down. Whatever it is its on my HP thats all i know?? So im sure other HP computers with Blu Ray have the same program.

MY specs:

HP AMD Phenom Quad Core
3.0GHz
750GB
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
8GB Ram

Ummm and i hooked it up via HDMI to HDMI cord.

Splendid
Sounds like an HDCP issue to me.

HDCP 'attempts' to copy protect BD's in certain situations.

Two easy workarounds...
-Switch from a DVI/HDMI to VGA monitor cable
-Install AnyDVD by Slysoft. (Thats what i did)

Apart from that, get some good s/ware like Powed DVD 9 etc.
