What is the best HDCP compatible LCD for around $1000????

:frown: i was all set to purchase the Dell 2405FPW, but not sure what to do now after reading this article: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/hdcp-vista.ars

Dell has a HDCP LCD TV: W2600 which is 26", but the native resolution is only 1280 x 768. Contrast is 500:1.

:disgust: i don't know what to do now.

Anyone been looking into this type of LCD that could give me a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, there are no monitors currently supporting HDCP. This very issue is causing quite an uproar. I'll post some good linkage when I find them again.

well, from what i've seen of their HDCP "TV's" they have PC imputs like VGA and DVI

True. My Panasonic has VGA and HDMI inputs with HDCP. But it's TV, not so hot for a regular monitor.

UGGGGHH!!!!

anyone know if there are plans for PC geared HDCP LCD's in the near future?

No, which is why the whole issue is absurd.

Jeeze, i guess i'll have to watch HD content on my HDTV....god forbid if i want to watch tv on my pc!!!

lol

best I have seen is a 37inch 1080p screen for around 1800 (westinghouse I think), though I just went with the dell as 37inches is to big for 1080p and a pc screen, though it would make a nice tv) Also at that size you need to sit pretty far back and have a massive desk.

which Dell did you buy? what are the specs?
