Samsung's CX223BW 22-inch LCD widescreen with HDCP

If you're in the market for a new desktop display and future-proofing is a must, look no further. With HDCP-compatible DVI input this 22-inch widescreen should play your digital-output only flagged discs of the future at its maximum resolution of 1680x1050 with a 5ms refresh time. No word on price, possibility of a US release or contrast ratio of the CX223BW but we figure why do things halfway? Grab a Westinghouse LVM-47w1 47-inch LCD, sit a couple feet back and really get down to business.
