Samsung Electronics America, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, showcased its SyncMaster 2493HM 24″ LCD monitor and its slightly larger sibling, the 25.5″ SyncMaster 2693HM at Macworld.
Actually this monitor has hdmi, dvi, and dsub connectors, so you probably won’t be using the HDMI port for your PC.

Is the monitor HDCP through the DVI port? I have an LG burner that won’t play blu-ray or HD-DVD through my current Viewsonic monitor because it isn’t HDCP.

Sorry, I am not sure if the HDCP is through the DVI port or the HDMI port. There is an excellent review of the 2493HM at Overclocker’s Online (http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1631), but they don’t mention if HDCP is implemented on the DVI or HDMI port. I did find something that might suggest that HDCP is via the HDMI port here at ITP.net (http://www.itp.net/reviews/details.php?id=3275).
