Windows Vista Ready LCD Monitor Round-Up – Part 1 : Roundup

Quote: LCD monitors have continued to drop in price and nowadays, you can find a 20” 1680x1050 LCD for under $400. It turns out that these low-priced monitor aren’t as good of a bargain as you may expect. You see, although Windows Vista will be released later this year, most of the monitors on the market today lack the HDCP support needed for high-resolution playback of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs on your PC. In fact, there are only 12 monitors that we know of that support HDCP. In short, not only will you need to buy a new graphics card for Windows Vista, if you’d like full-resolution HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, you’ll also need a brand-new monitor. Because of this, at this point in time, we do not recommend purchasing a non-HDCP monitor unless you are planning to use it as a secondary display for text, photos, and games only.
