Default buying monitor

Hi, i recenly just purchaed a new desktop pc, its a fairly powerfull machine with intel pentium d 940 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 2 x 250 GB hard drives, 550W PSU, and Nvidea 7600 GT Video card.

Im thinking of getting this monitor
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...est%5Fcookie=1

If the link doesnt work for where you live or something, it is the LG 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor (L196WTQ-BF) for $229

I don't want any bigger than 20", does this seem like a good deal?
It says it has Analog and DVI, but beside DVI it says (HDCP) What does that mean? Thanks

I say, if you have the money, go for it. It's the size you want, good contrast ratio, great refresh rate.

Not bad.

To answer your last question:
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content between the video source, or transmitter -- such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box -- and the digital display, or receiver -- such as a monitor, television or projector. HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content but to protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.
