I would be surprised if you could find a monitor manufactured in the last
few years that has an HDMI port but that won't do HDCP.  The manufacturers
are all HDMI licensees already and there is almost no incremental costs in
using HDCP capable receiver chips other than the key management (which
nowadays is typically avoided by having the chip vendor pre-burn the keys
prior to PCB assembly).  And of course this lets them sell displays that
support the protected path under Windows.
