	Log in to remove this sponsored message HDCP: Can anyone give me an explanation in their own words as to what this is, how I can use it, why it's good to have/use ect. My new monitor has come with this capability and I dont have the slightest clue as to what it is, what it's good for or even why I should use it.

	High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection In short, it just lets you watch HD movies (blu-ray and HD-DVD). HDCP is required to display HD movies in full HD. You need both an HDCP monitor and video card, along with the proper HD/blu ray drive. Its mostly just an annoyance so you cant copy movies. -------------------

	HD-DVD drive. The Toshiba Xbox 360 HD DVD player seems like a good choice and you get 5 free HD movies if you buy one between now and Sept 30.

	HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives are pretty expensive. You can get a bluray burner for around $1,000. I think the cheapest HD-dvd rom is the xbox 360 USB drive for about $180. I think the cheapest blu-ray player is actually the PS3. You can get combo drives (that read both) for a few hundred more. -------------------

	The most cost efficient way to go blu-ray at the moment is with a PS3. Since it can also play and upscale DVDs to 1080i, which actually looks a good amount better than a DVD not being scaled. Ever watch a DVD on a 60inch dvd through analogue cables? Let me tell you, it's like watching your tv vomit on your eyes. ------------------- Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R i7 930 2.8ghz @ 4.2ghz (21x200) 3x2gb Mushkin DDR3-1600mhz 7-8-7-20 Gigabyte GTX 570 @ 800/2000 .975v Corsair 850HX 2x60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD Raid 0
