(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) An encryption system for enforcing digital rights management (DRM) over DVI and HDMI interfaces. The copy protection system (DRM) resides in the computer, DVD player or set-top box. If it determines the video material must be protected, it encrypts the signal via HDCP and transmits it to the display system, which decrypts it. For more information, visit Digital Content Protection, LLC at www.digital-cp.com. See DVI and HDMI.

- The most appealing selling point of the 30-inch HP LP3065 is its super-high 2,560x1,600 resolution. Gamers with powerful enough video cards to run at that resolution will not be disappointed. With its great color preproduction and wide viewing angles, movies also look great on the large display. Professional graphic artists...

- ViewSonic VX2433wm
- The ViewSonic VX2433wm is a typical Twisted Nematic monitor with DVI and HDMI connections and built-in speakers. It also has several useful color temperature options, but its performance in games and movies is marred by its relatively low brightness level. For about $200, the monitor is a good...

- Samsung XL2370
- The 23-inch Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 is thin, sleek, and light. It's as if Samsung's own P2370 had a thinner, prettier sister. In addition, the XL also has an LED backlight that lets it perform better in movies and games. The monitor won't be available in the U.S. until October 12,...

- Mimo UM-720S
- If the Nanovision Mimo UM-720S had a much lower price point, I'd be willing to recommend it. As it stands at $230, it's simply not worth it. The 7-inch minidisplay that act as an ancillary screen to your main screen, has narrow viewing angles, a confusing setup process, and a...

- HP 2709m
- The 27-inch HP 2709m offers a larger screen than the 25.5-inch HP w2558hc, but that's about the only advantage the display has over the latter. The 2709m exhibited worse performance in games and movies and has fewer features, and a slightly lower 1,920x1,080 resolution compared with the w2558hc's 1,920x1,200. The...

- For $260, the Gateway FHD2402 brings you a high-gloss and high-contrast screen with built-in speakers that has great movie and game performance, HDMI support, and a couple of USB ports.

- Planar PX2611W
- The 25.5-inch Planar PX2611w is heavy, stocky and at an average price of $800, should only be considered by professional artists who require an In-Plan Switching IPS-based panel. While the monitor features five USB ports, excellent color reproduction, and viewing angles, its feature set just doesn't come close to what's...

- Eizo ColorEdge CG222W-BK (LCD display)
- At $1,500, the Eizo ColorEdge CG222W should be considered by graphics professionals only. While the display has color accuracy that's second to none and a plethora of color customization options, its 1,680x1,050 resolution isn't fit for high-def movies or high-performance games. If professional graphics work isn't on your agenda--but you're...
