(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.

- HP LP3065 30-inch monitor
- 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...
