blu-ray monitor??

I'm going to be buying a new monitor very soon and i'll be switching to vista about the same time. How do I figure out what lcd monitor will display blu-ray movies if I buy a bd-rom drive? I understand i could buy a small hdtv, but price holds me up there. I would like to find a 22" lcd that will be hdcp compliant. Do i look for hdmi or dvi inputs on the monitor or do I look for the 720p or 1080i/p display. I just don't know.

thanks,

You will need to buy a 24" or larger PC LCD monitor which will have 1920 x 1200 resolution. Anything smaller will have lower resolution which means HD video will be scaled down to fit the screen, thus loosing some video quality.

Note: The Lenovo ThinkVisions L220x is a 22" LCD and it is the only PC LCD less than 24" that is capable of displaying 1920 x 1200 resolution. All other 22" LCD monitors have 1680 x 1050 resolution.

Your video card must HDCP enabled as well as the monitor you intend on buying.

The Editor-in-Chief merely stated:

That is it. There is no review or tests done to it. It is his own opinion of the monitor which is not based on objective results other than seeing it in person.

@jaguarskx: So what's wrong with a personal recommendation from somebody who is supposed to know the topic??

@cjl: Right. But I read an article recently that Full HD 16:9 is a non-reversible trend and in a few years the majority of all laptop and desktop screens will have 16:9 monitors. Which is due to the fact that manufacturers can produce 16:9 panels cheaper than 16:10 panels (as they can cut more of them out of a raw-material glas panel).
So it's no fault to jump on that train now if it is going to come anyway.

The Benq E2200HDA is really a nice one, I just read their announcement. Awesome design!
