I'm a bit confused......

I'm looking to buy a 20-22" computer monitor for my bedroom (it's much cheaper than an HDTV) and I'm looking to hook up a blu ray player down the road to it. I realize that for this to work, everything needs to be HDCP compatible. The monitor I'm looking at is a Hanns G 21.6" monitor which has HDMI input. It doesn't say on the website if it has HDCP or not. Can I assume that HDMI means it's HDCP compatible or not? I really like the specs on this monitor and I'm hoping that one day I can hook up a BR machine to it. I would currently be using it mainly for my Xbox 360 via VGA. Does HDMI=HDCP? I don't think it does...but correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks. ;)

Here's the monitor I'm interested in:

I'm really hoping that I'll be able to hook up a BR player to it. This monitor has everything I want/need. I'll most likely hook up external speakers because 3Wx2 isn't going to be great I'm sure.

Rather than make another thread, I thought I'd ask if anyone has had any good experiences with Sceptre monitors. Here's another one that has caught my eye with it's great specs:

The Sceptre monitor is HDCP comp and has a really high contrast ratio (probably Dynamic) but it looks good to me. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Which of the 2 is the better company? I've never heard of either before. Or, does someone else suggest another brand? I want to stay under $300 bucks and remember.....it needs to be HDCP compatible or else I'll have to pass. Damn Intel and all this HDCP crap. :mad:
 
yes HDMI will support hdcp


Thanks for clearing that up Apj. :)

Is there anyone that can suggest a really good 22" pc monitor with HDCP?

Can someone provide a list of current HDCP monitors? I'm just interested in the 20"-22" range...nothing bigger.

I really like that Hanns G's specs above and the Sceptre...but I'm a little worried about buying a name I've never heard of. I've heard great things about LG monitors....your opinion on this one:

This model is selling for $285 at a local pc store near me. Has anyone used this model before? The specs are awesome and according to LG's site, it is an HDCP monitor (click on "Specifications" and it's under "Special Features").

The high contrast ratio really appeals to me. Your thoughts?
