RE: Advice on behind LCD connections etc

Good thoughts, up until you see...

"HDMI supports HDCP".

*bzzzzzt* not interested. Move along now.

DVD is already too restricted thanks, I'm not signing up to *any*
technology
which won't even display the content that you have purchased because it
decides that it doesn't like the combination of devices.

Basically, whilst I quite fancy the whole HD thing, I'm going to stick with
regular SD technology util we see rather more common sense come to the
whole
copyright/IP debacle. Of course, that may well mean no Vista, no next gen
GFX cards etc... Hey, I'll live.

I.

FWIW, I would *definitely* put in a HDMI cable now, while you have the
chance.... - I guarantee that before long, you will see MCE PC's with HDMI
out's fitted, and graphics cards with HDMI outs can't be far away either...
The cost of a few metres of HDMI cable is as nothing to the annoyance you
might feel in 2 or 3 years time when you have loads of components that are
HDMI equipped and you can't get that signal to the screen....

Just my 2p.
