Yes, native res is 1920x1200 so it will support 1080p. I don't know if it does 1 to 1 pixel mapping though, if it doesn't then 1080p will most likely get stretched to 1200.

As for HDCP (High-definition Digital Content Protection), you're correct in that it's a form of DRM.

What do I think of the screen? Well, it's a TN panel so that would put me off. Saying that, from reviews I've seen, its one of the best 24" TN's out there. It's also a bit lacking as far as ports/connections go, there's no HDMI, for example. Again, not really an issue for you if you're not planning on a stand-alone HD source.
