I wouldn't even consider purchasing a £1500 + lcd screen until all the drm that is being forced on the world by the mpaa is widely in use. hdcp is already having too many issues to throw my money away.

i purchased a philips 15PF5121/01 for my bedroom after reading great reviews in what hifi and ended up with the common blue screen of the hdcp handshake failure when i plugged in my ps3 but when i plugged in my new tosh dvd SD370E player, which also received a great review via what hifi (uk's leading audiophile mag) i got an on screen msg stating that the current format was not supported when i tried to use a hdmi lead .

when i phoned up philips i was told that it was not compatible with newer forms of hdcp and there was not a thing that could be done about this!

I agree with the HDCP stuff. It just pisses me off that i can't go out and buy an lcd, plasma, etc., TV and plug it up to my computer and watch my HD-DVD's. God knows i can't watch something that i legally bought. No that would be too easy. I would have to an HDCP monitor, graphics card, and i'm sure a lot of other things just so i can watch my damn movie.

My rant.

lcd is the way to go :)
