ok thanks....  ( as I said in my opening post above.. I really only need this BD  dvd rom for disc ID  and quick checks for profiling don't really care about pure digital output.. my current monitor is capable of 1153 x 780  ..)  didn't really want to have to buy a new upscale monitor.. )

maybe there is another alternative to  cyberlinks powerdvd 12...
