    Do any mobile graphic cards fully support HDCP (high-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)?

    I'm not sure how HDCP is handled when displaying something on a built in display.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP
    some good info for people who don't know what hdcp is. Supposidly HD-DVD and Blu-Ray don't have to be HDCP encoded yet. And I've heard that PS3 doesn't have the HDCP setup on it or something. Not sure if it's true... there were a lot of concerns about the PS3 not being able to work with HDCP discs.

    As of right now, I don't know of any laptops that have a blu-ray or hd-dvd player.
