it seems that your monitor have native resolution of 1650 x 1050
if it is so then it hardly matters that it has HDCP support or not.
if your monitor supports 1920 x 1200/1080 then you need HDCP support
to see HD movies in full resolution (1920 x 1080) other wise it would be
downsampled.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand a word you just said. HDCP is copy protection for digital media. Don't confuse it with HD resolutions, as it has nothing to do with that, nor does it make any difference in the quality of the video.

@bassam904: Without an HDCP compliant monitor, it won't work. PS3 is really strict on this rule. So better shift to a better monitor or make do with your CRT/LCD TV.

you are wright, it does not enhance the quality, but if you do not have HDCP and your input resolution is 1920 x 1080 you will see it in lower resolution.

to see Blue ray movies in full resolution you need a display of 1920 x 1080 resolution
& HDCP support

Lower resolution? What are you talking about? HDCP has nothing to do with resolutions, I repeat, NOTHING. It's a form of protection which is applied to protect digital data transmission. For content which is encrypted using HDCP compliance, can only be played on a HDCP hardware. Else it won't display/play anything at all, as simple as that.

Here's an example: *gizmodo.com/5177075/itunes-hd-movies-wont-play-on-older-non+hdcp-monitors

Just read through it and tell me where does it say the resolution is lowered? They don't get any display at all. BTW there is no such thing as input resolution, the term is 'maximum output resolution.'

My friend watches his Blu-Ray movies on his 22 inch 16:10 (1680x1050) monitor which has HDCP compliance perfectly.

the files (mpeg-4,vc-1,avc copmression etc.) stored in blue ray disks
they could max have resolution 1920 x 1080 (it could be lower also like 1440 x 1080, 1280 x 720).
similarly for hd dvd the files are in 1280 x 720
in dvd they are 720 x 480 (normally 480; it can varry)

now if you have HDCP you are
authorised to see 1920 x 1080 BD in 1920 x 1080
if you don't have HDCP you will not see 1920 X 1080 what ever native resolution
you monitor have.

but if your monitor's native resolution is lower like 1680 x 1050
you will see 1920 x 1080 files in 1680 x 1050 whether you have HDCP or not

now the question is if you don't have HDCP will you see anything or not?
i heard that some players allow 1920 x 1080 in lower resolution. not sure about that
it is similar to that if you don't have PAP you will not hear DTS HD MA in loss less
24 bit/ 192 KHz from your BD. instead you will hear 16 bit /48 KHz lossy sound as per AACS.

Well, after 38hrs I finished the main quest and the marked side quests in the vanilla game, saw uncle leo, the rarest encounter in fallout 3(I missed it all 3 times before, very happy), did most of the unmarked side quests like marrying diego and angela in rivet city, freed cherry from dukov, ratted bannon out, got the reservist's rifle and more, currently playing broken steel but can't proceed to the final mission till big gun skill is atleast 80, so wandering about the wasteland killing everything trying to increase some levels, with the grim reaper's sprint perk, I'm invincible.

BTW- You can increase your level very fast by killing enemies, so try going head on in a battle and in the Arlington library go to the Media Archives and get the gall ink container, its the key to a important side quest later(found in rivet city, talk to abraham washington in the capitol preservation society to get the mission.

Next up, the Pitt(or op Anchorage anchorage), after the exam.

Missed that gail's ink container. Already I'm too far from Arlington lib.. Already met with that old curator of the Rivet city and he told me to bring something from natioanl archves and he will give me a railway gun schematics for that :p

BTW, Now I'm on Level 15 :p

BTW, discovered a Nukacola Plant and neutralized that as usual. Got a note about nuka cola formula but don't know where to get that. It's indicating a nukacola plant in D.C. :p

Discovered the Andale city. Talked with all people.

Discovered the Raiders Outpost in Cliffside Cavern. BTW, neutralized all raiders as usual and saw some animal and I'm in the cave of that animal ( forgot the name - some yow gow or something ). :p

I was just doing my usual rounds on the Internet and I came across something very interesting. Although I'm still researching on it myself to get a more accurate description, but I'll fill you limited 360 owners out here on some news.

It seems that the hackers have found a way to run Homebrew apps on the 360. I just saw 2 YouTube videos which showed how it ran old classic titles via an emulator and also loading 360 titles off HDD without a disc being required in the drive. Yes you read that right and want to know an even better news. It's not just Microsoft's shi*tty HDD, but ANY USB HDD of ANY SIZE. This is huge news.

Yo! Yo! Yo! Ethan, you made my day. I'm sure gonna buy an X360. In the comparisons that I've seen, X360's graphics ain't so inferior to PS3's. I'm gonna buy it this month or next. I'll be a company to ye Ethan, you'll accept that right? :(

Finally completed Ninja Gaiden II on Path of Acolyte difficulty. This was one of the most frustrating hack-en-slash games, I have ever played on lowest difficulty. I can't believe a game being difficult even at it's lowest form. I can only fathom how much hair would have been remaining on my head, had I chosen the 'Path of Warrior' difficulty.

I started a New game with Path of Warrior difficulty just to check if my earlier weapons, ninpo and health upgrades were carried over, but f*cuk, nothing was there. It was right from scratch. WTF?

Anyway, the game was total blast. It made my 360 a worthy purchase. I wish Team Ninja would make a bigger and more bloodier NG3 game. I found the boss battles to be very satisfying and diverse. Unlike DMC games, where there would be repetitions after 3-4 bosses, this offered a host of boss and mini-boss fights. They were recycled, but at a very later stage. The only major thing I would like fixed in this game is it's insanely stupid camera angle. The storyline could also get a better focus, though I don't expect much.

This was the only game, which I swear, made my 360 crawl in terms of frame rates on one particular level. It's somewhere in Chapter 10, right after defeating Quetzalcoatl mini-boss, I have to wade through a horde of melee ninjas. The game had turned into a slide show and I'm sure if I had FRAP or any frame rate recording software, it would have shown a single digit figure. There was so much to render and it was literally killing the console. I have never experienced this in any 360 game till date, not even GTA: EFLC. This is the time I wish, there was PC version. :-D

If you have a debit card, then you can buy the HDMI-DVI cable off from Ebay for Rs.500. The RCA to 3.5mm converter can be availed at any local hardware store for Rs.25-70, depending on how much they sell it for.

As for MGS4, try Alfa, they might have it in stock.
