It's not an antitrust issue. There are multiple sources of chips, and they'll all sell the chips to anyone that pays the license fee and contractually agrees to the license terms. They're not price-fixing or discrinminating against any particular customers. Anyhow, I hope you're right, and that there aren't and won't be any significant number of montitors that won't accept unencrypted input at high resolution. My own experience is that I was unable to get a new Sharp LCD HDTV belonging to a friend to accept 720p over DVI from my Linux machine, though it was fine at VGA and XGA, and it was fine for over-the-air 720p and 1080i (the latter being downsampled). I don't know if that was because I wasn't configuring X properly (though I used configuration parameters that others reported worked on other monitors), or because this particular monitor won't accept unencrypted 720p, or maybe that it won't do 720p from its HDMI port at all (seems unlikely). The user manual for the monitor was no help; even the specifications table omitted key information I'd have expected to find there, like what resolutions it would support over HDMI.
