Kinda off your whole point, but DVI offers zero copy protection.

Even though it wouldn't have an impact on me for my use, I don't like the idea being restrained by digital copy protection either. Kinda off your whole point, but DVI offers zero copy protection. Also they go for $10-$15 on ebay. Best Buy and other retailers make a killing on those cables. |

This is only my opinion and I know that the AV guys may not agree, but...
I've seen two identical cable boxes connected to two identical TVs side by side... one with component cables, and the other with DVI.
Yes, I could see a difference. I thought the DVI looked darker. As far as resolution / picture quality, my untrained eye thought it looked the same. Personally, I will never invest in DVI or HDMI if component cables are an option. Even though it wouldn't have an impact on me for my use, I don't like the idea being restrained by digital copy protection either. |
