Hi!
My first post on avforum so please bear with me
I've been reading lots of previous threads for the past 2 days and just getting to know the basics on HDTV. From previous post, one of the conditions for a HD Ready TV is :
"The DVI or HDMI input supports content protection (HDCP)"
I've been offered the above brand new Samsung plasma for an excellent price of £750 (all legit). However, I've checked Samsung site and the spec states a HDMI input, but there's no mention whether it supports HDCP?
Question 1 - can someone confirm if the HDMI input supports HDCP or not?
Question 2 - I will also have sky + (sky hd in the future when price softens!) Given it's my first venture into HDTV world, would this plasma be a good purchase if it doesn't have HDCP?
The offer price is excellent, and I am very tempted to buy it asap, but I wish check if this TV is upgrade proof for at least 3-4 years.
thanks
Tom
