[tlug] HDCP-compliant playstation 3 monitor (yellow dog linux)

[javajunkie <javajunkie@example.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know what to ask for in Japanese to make sure a monitor is
"HDCP-compliant"

I've found them with HDCPåå but wonder if that is really it.

I wanted possible to get a 20gb ps3 to install yellow-dog and saw about
needing a hdcp monitor for a decent resolution at
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-linuxps3-1/ 

Actually, it's not for myself and seeing how even a cheap desktop at
dospara is 40,000, the 50,000 price of a ps3 doesn't seem so bad.  The
primary use is to do reports in openoffice so a low resolution when
working under yellow dog isn't really practical.

"On the display, there are a few gotchas to watch for. First of all, the
20GB PS3 only comes with an analog composite RCA plug for attaching to
TV-like output devices. You can convert it to VGA through a special
cable (see Resources for more information). Unfortunately, this operates
only at 576x384. If you want better resolutions, you'll have to use the
HDMI port. However, that can lead to additional problems. HDMI can be
easily converted to DVI through a cable. So this should be able to be
fed to a DVI-compatible monitor, right? Well, no. There is a
content-protection protocol called HDCP. When outputting data over the
HDMI port, the PS3 will not output any data to non-HDCP-compliant
devices. Therefore, unless your monitor is HDCP-compliant, you cannot
use it to get digital output from the PS3, and you're stuck with 576x384
(though some have reported higher resolutions using component video
output rather than composite)."
