Should I wait to buy an HDCP compliant monitor?? I need a monitor now!?

Question

I've been reading all these horror stories about MS Vista requiring a HDCP input to view HD content. Is this overblown? There are hardly any HDCP compliant monitors out there (and they're expensive). Is MS really going to expect the millions of users to trash their $500 lcds to get a new HDCP...I can't see that. Please enlighten me on the plausibility of MS alienated almost all of their customers and leaving the world with millions of junked LCD's without an HDCP connecter X-(

Also, if one uses an HDCP to DVI adaptor...would that make the monitor become compliant?

Answer 1

I agree,

I too gave up on buying HDCP compliant hardware for now, cause no one gives you a straight answer.

If you need a monitor now, check out this site:

They list monitors that are supposedly HDCP compliant.

And no HDCP via DVI , is not the same thing , cause there is no sound that can go through the DVI cable.
