Not yet, and if it's like Macrovision on DVDs was, not ever for the vast majority of titles.nintendo_nerd wrote:Blu ray and HD-DVD are, though, I just realized.
There was a truce called on the HDCP flag since so many displays didn't support it. NO HDCP until 2010, and optional after that.

Re: I have an HDTV I want to use as a monitor
That's probably because of the upscaling your TV does from 720p to 1360x768 res. I run my Xbox 360 via VGA (as opposed to HDMI) for that reason. Though, component does look nice aswell.odditude wrote:plus, some low-end lcd hdtvs don't handle computer input nicely at all on hdmi. trying to connect any pc to my tv (a cheapo olevia) via hdmi results in an over-sharped, "crunchy" looking display. vga looks beautiful, on the other hand (and at the native 1360x768, no less).
(Btw I have the same problem. HDMI output looks slightly "crunchy". I have a samsung display though, but it has the same native res as yours)
