Hello,

My question/concern is what will happen when I play a blu-ray movie, either from my blu-ray optical drive of my PC, or from my hard-drive, on a 30 inch monitor with a resolution of 2560x1600?

So:

1) Will it be a small box that is 1920x1080, with black bars on all four sides?

2) Will my video card, a Diamond ATI 5870, try to scale it up to 2560x1600?

3) And if it does scale it up, like to 2560x1440, will it be fuzzy and blocky? Or will it be crips and sharp?

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

Not sure I can truly answer your questions, but I will give you my experiences.

1) It may be, depending on the disc. Sometimes I get full screen, sometimes letterbox. My screen runs a resolution of 2048x1156 (not the same, but up there) and it seems to have been hit or miss for most movies.

2) Not sure the video card will scale the movie. I do not *think* it will, but I am not sure it will not.

3) In the past, when I managed to stretch movies to full screen they did not become blocky or fuzzy or grainy or anything like that. They were clear, sharp and beautiful, the way HD movies should be.

I hope this helps you somewhat and, again, I know that I cannot answer from the perspective of your setup but I do think it will at least be similar.
