HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
I am confused. I have bought Cyberlink Power dvd Ultra for my notebook. I also wish to watch HD films on an external display, which types will allow it? The samsung 22" and 24" reviewed have a HDCP standard. What is this? Not interested in these acronyms, simply want to watch hi def on a monitor.

Re: HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
Whether you care what HDCP is or not doesn't matter. You need it in order to watch HD content from disk on both the playback device and the screen the content is playing on. It's a form of protection on the disks.
You can get round it by instaliong Anydvd HD, which will remove AACS protection and the HDCP requirement. |

Re: HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
aacs doesn't mandate hdcp - hdcp is mandated by an optional flag called the image constraint token
the main hd playback software for windows requires hdcp *anyway* - not because there's any reason for them to do so (no discs in the wild have ict enabled), but 'just because'

Re: HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
I'm getting a HDCP monitor. This is easy enough. Now all I need to do is make my blu ray drive I buy region free. Now with old LG DVD drives this was easy with a small flash utility,

Re: HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
AnyDVD HD will also remove region restrictions.
I don't know of any other ways to do it. However, there is a region hack for PDVD 7 floating around so you can increase your max region changes to 9999. |

Re: HD DVD and Blu Ray on external monitor
Consider the BenQ E2200HDA, a great Full HD 16:9 monitor, 22 inch. It got a lot of press recently and has been recommended by many tech geeks. Experts especially emphasize its great blu-ray quality: no black bars, no display stretching.
