HDMI-HDCP Input Connector

[malor]

Am I to understand that the HDMI-HDCP port is actually just DVI? Can I use a DVI input from my laptop?

I believe you are correct hdmi-hdcp is just dvi but incorporates digital rights into the stream of data but I may be wrong anyone else wanna comment.

Yes and no. HDMI is compatible with DVI (not the same though HDMI carries audio also, has higher bandwidth, etc) but you need a converter cable. They are physically very different.

I bought my HDMI to DVI cable from:

The 25ft version is very beefy. I highly recommend them for quality generic cables. Their shipping prices are insanely low too...
