New monitor question

[Frippy]

I am thinking of getting a new monitor, this one from Overclockers

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-008-BE&groupid=703&catid=17&subcat=949

My graphics card is an 8800gt gainward and I want to use the DVI port. What is HDCP? does it mean I can't watch my DIVX films? play games or what? I know it is some type of protection but what does HDCP actally do?

Thanks.

Don't worry about HDCP, aslong as your monitor has it, you will be fine, it's for content such as Blu-ray movies and such. Having it just means your monitor can display this content, otherwise you'd be unable to view it.

This will not affect you watching any movies or playing games
