HDMI Monitor.

My new Tower System has an HDMI socket.

If I connect a Monitor to the HDMI socket, will Windows recognize it, and adjust itself automatically?

Also, could I plug a Surround Sound Bluray Player into it, and use it to watch DVD and Bluray movies?

The answer to both questions is almost certainly yes.
An HDMI monitor will just work and Windows will set the resolution or at least prompt you to change it to the native resolution of the monitor.
You can plug your blueray player in but unless the monitor also has speakers you will need to make separate arrangements for sounds, such as using an av receiver in the middle or the BlueRay players optical out.

That's why I said a Surround Sound Bluray Player.

All Bluray players offer surround sound but you need to plug them into speakers somehow!

Sorry.

I think what I meant was a Home Theatre System, Bluray Player.

If you have a bluray player and surround speakers feeding from the player.
The screen is simply for playing the bluray video signal.
You could go the other way and add a bluray dirve to the PC.
Add surround speakers to the PC.
