Jake is more than right. I just bought a Samsung 244t 1920x1200 monitor BECAUSE it had HDCP. Surprise - the component video display is BETTER than with DVI/HDCP.
Brighter, more correct gamma correction, I'm sure. Same sharpness to the best that I can see.
DVI is key for the PC interface at that res, of course.
Good to know that I'll need HDCP for BlueRay and/or newer HD-capable video boards, though.
I think HiDef is far better on 24" monitors two feet away than on 40"-60" LCD TVs 4'-8' away. Plus your investment gives you awesome PC desktop space.
