This DVD player will not work with monitors it thinks are non-HDCP monitors. I connected the DVI cable to my 2006 Sceptre LCD monitor that is supposed to be HDCP compliant. The DVD plays a few seconds of the DVD in the background, and even gets to the menu screen, then says 'non-HDCP compliant device' and goes to white snow/fuzz. [HDCP is the movie version of DRM - only stupider. ONLY pirated DVDs will play with this type of 'protection'.]
