I just bought a Radeon X1950 Pro. It supports HDCP. However, I have a slightly older monitor that does not support HDCP. Will I need to upgrade my monitor to one that is HDCP compliant?|||You do not need to upgrade.
HDCP is High Definition Content Protection.
A HDCP source will work without a HDCP monitor, unless the source program requires the HDCP to be enabled. So for everything except protected content - HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disks - the HDCP will be inactive.|||yes off course for better quality and better garphics|||please it depends on several values of the monitor.
never the less upgrading a monitor may not be a rel8iable solution to your problem because both monitors may be of different makes and thus different quality.
for instance you buy a mercury monitor made in india
and then HP or COMPAQ. you see these two will not accurately work the same way though they seem to.|||that only affects the drm status of your monitor: basically u need to have every piece of ur video stream to have drm to view some hd dvd or blue ray content if the drm playback flag is enabled, but u wont see a difference for about 5 years|||Having an hdcp graphics card, and a non hdcp monitor is fone but you won't see the full potential of the graphics card. If you can afford a better monitor then go for it. I would suggest a samsung monitor. They sell the most lcd panels in the world followed by lg.
I would highly suggest the samsung 226bw if you can afford it, or 206bw for a 20 in. lcd for a few more bucks in your pocket.
Good Luck. You'll be fine wether or not you don't buy a new moniter as long as the graphics card is good.
