For a 19" monitor that's a really low resolution!
And the Blu-Ray drive will be an expensive and probably unnecessary component.0 -

And the Blu-Ray drive will be an expensive and probably unnecessary component.
Since it's already included at the price mentioned it doesn't matter as to whether it's an expensive component.
The resolution of the monitor has probably something to do with it being a 16:9, optimised for widescreen films.

Considering this system sold for around £500, it's good value.0
