I got bored today and decided to check out how the 3008 does with Blu Ray playback and well I got a little shock. At 2650×1600 over the dual-link DVI it simply doesn’t work, even though the 3008 is HDCP compliant. The only way I got it so work was to drop the resolution back to 1900×1080. I don’t have to tell you I don’t like having to change resolutions to watch Blu Ray.

So I set out to find a software solution to the problem. Asking the all mightly google I found Slysoft’s Any DVD-HD.

This is a nice bit of software that simply strips out HDCP and allows the successful play back of your media. Though it’s not real cheap so I think I will write a nice email to dell asking them to foot the bill as the 3008 has an obvious fault with this. I tested on my A00 and A02 models, both are effected.
