Dear Group, I can't find a technical monitor group, and many of you are at the cutting edge of compuer hardware as well as software. I am seeking an HDCP compliant 30" LCD Dual-Link DVI-D 2560 X 1600 Monitor to enable me to run Blu-ray on my computer as well as to have higher resolution and greater size in Windows Ultimate 64-bit. I just spoke with HP regarding their LP 3065, and I couldn't find anybody who knew anything. I have never liked HP much, and I am sure they just rebrand their monitors anyway. Samsung, whom I like, does no seem to have an affordable HDCP compliant monitor in that size and resolution. Any suggestions? Thank you! Jim |

The best thing to do is to do some research on the web. You should find links to various web sites with opinions on specific monitors capabilities and how well they live up to their claims.

However, according to NewEgg.com, the Gateway does not support HDCP, so it will not play Blu-ray. It does, however, have a *much* faster responce time--twice as fast--as the HP. > http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/Dell%5FUltraSharp%5F3008WFP%5F30i... > > Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP 30-inch LCD With DisplayPort > Response Time =A0 > 8 ms (grey-to-grey) > Brightness =A0 =A0 =A0370 cd/m2 > Resolution =A0 =A0 =A02560x1600 (max) > Pixel Pitch (Dot Pitch) =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 0.2505 mm > Ports Analog, DVI-D (dual link) with HDCP x2, S-Video, > Composite, Component, HDMI, DisplayPort The Dell *does* support HDCP, but it is back to a slower response time and a poorer contrast ratio. > > http://nexus404.com/Blog/2007/03/07/12m-monitor/ Maybe the monitor I am looking for does not exist yet. I want a 6 ms response time or so, a contrast ratio of more than 1000:1 (the Dell is 3:000-1), and HDCP support. Surely somebody will be making a monitor which meets or exceeds these criteria soon. Thanks for your help! Jim |

The Dell UltraSharp 3308WFP *does* meet all of my criteria *better than the HP did. I think that is the monitor to want. Thank you for your help! :-) Jim |

Instead of trusting what NewEgg puts on their web site, go to the manufacturer's web site and get the information straight from the horse's mouth. The Gateway monitor does support HDCP according to Gateway.

Bobby, Thanks for sticking with me! I thought NewEgg.com was always accurate with their information. I am obviously wrong, and I appreciate knowing this in the future. I think the Dell still sounds like the best deal, as Dell has a reputation for making high-end 30" computer monitors which are really first-rate. The Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP sounds like a new model, which exceeds Dell's previous model in many respects. Jim |
