That's true of "computer" type monitors, but almost all consumer-type  
LCD and plasma TV sets/monitors sold today support HDCP.

So if you have say a 32" LCD monitor with a DVI or an HDMI input it  
almost certainly supports HDCP. These units can be bought for around  
$500US these days (at least in the USA), and refurbed or used units  
are even cheaper.
