Hello all you Blu Ray Experts,

I have a question thats probably quite simple. I want to buy a blu ray drive to play 1080p blu rays. My 2 options are:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106227

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136154

My question is, im using DVI to connect my HDCP compliant monitor and graphics card, do I have to use HDMI to get true blu ray? I have a nice sound card I want to use for audio to get 5.1. Thanks and let me know if I should go with the LG instead of the Lite on since the Lite on is quite cheaper and I already have a DVD burner, so no big deal about burning.

Thanks!
