Do you need a full HD monitor to watch downloaded blue ray or HD movies?
Yes and no Yes- a HD TV or a big computer monitor in general will have a higher resolution, meaning more pixels per inch This means you can see the detail better on high resolution on big monitors/TVs because Blu-ray movies contain more data than standard DVDs No- You can still play a BLu-ray movie on a standard monitor of lets say 17″ (like mine) but some of the detail will be lost as the resolution is smaller than the recommended display for the movie (ie its shrinking the movie size to display it on a smaller screen) 😀 hope that clears things up!
