DVI is the digital input of choice for digital computer displays such as industrial plasma and LCD monitors (many also do a fine job displaying HDTV) This application is a perfect use for a DVI input as it was originally designed for precisely this application, as a cost effective way to provide a digital path from source box (PC) to a computer display device.
There are many of these displays on the market or coming soon and most do not contain HDCP. This includes the new Zenith 30" & 17" Wide screen HD LCD displays. DVI si, HDCP no.
Zenith's upcoming DirecTv STB does have DVI/HDCP. The reason is simple. DirecTv is requiring it on all new HD set top boxes. It also has component and RGB analog outputs.
