A Question

[NosferatuZodd]

My new laptop has an HDMI slot. I was wondering if I hooked up my blu-ray player to it via that slot? Could I play my blu-rays through my laptop? Also could I use it like a blu-ray drive for VUDU Disc to Digital?

I'm pretty sure all HDMI ports on computers are for outgoing input. So no.

The HDMI port (not slot) on your laptop is likely an output. So is the HDMI port on your Blu-ray player. So, no, you won't be playing Blu-ray discs through your laptop that way.

And I'm pretty sure there are better forums to post this question, or any question.

You could buy an external blu-ray drive for your laptop but it probably wouldn't be worth, most blu-rays come with a digital copy on a dvd so you could just use that. I know it's not HD but sometimes in life you make compromises.
