To be fair to the TV makers, it's possible that they're just trying to 
avoid the expense of including A/D circuitry capable of 1920x1080 
resolution. But yes, it's something to watch out for if you want to use 
your big screen TV as a computer display and have a computer that 
doesn't have a high-resolution digital output (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort).

If you want to put a Blu-Ray drive in your PC and watch high-resolution 
movies you'll need a video card with HDCP capability because the Blu-Ray 
software will refuse to work otherwise (it's a licensing requirement). 
And sadly that also means that you won't be watching Blu-Ray movies on 
your Linux system for now.
