I have been looking for this all over the net, and every link I find from google points me to a list of TVs where HDCP is mentioned in a description of another TV, that is on the same page as the description for this one. I am planning on getting a HD DVD player, or Blu-Ray player down the road for this TV. From what I have read, they require HDCP compatible HDMI ports, or they will severly downscale the picture. Does anyone know if the HDMI port on this TV is capable of HDCP or not?
Even without the SFP tube, I am very happy with the TV, I guess because I don't usually sit with my eyes against the screen. My main concern about it though, is the HDCP capability. I have seen the HD DVD players playing on a LCD TV in the store, and the picture is amazing. If it is going to be degraded down to 480i in my HDTV becuase of the lack of HDCP in my HDMI port, I don't see the reason to ever bother upgrading on this set.
