The XBox 360 does not need HDCP. The only thing that needs HDCP on the XBox was HD-DVD playback, which nobody does anymore since Blu-Ray won the format wars. You can't play back Blu-Rays on the XBox, and MIcrosoft no longer sells the HD-DVD add-on drive for the XBox 360. So there is absolutely nothing currently on the XBox that needs HDCP. You can use the Microsoft XBox HDAV VGA cable to connect your XBox 360 to any computer monitor that has a VGA port. It supports HD resolutions. Hope this helps.
If the monitor has a HDMI input then it has to have HDCP encryption. It is part of the HDMI specification. If you have a HDMI output, and the media that you are playing has a HD limit on it that requires the HDCP encryption be enabled, and you have a monitor that is DVI without HDCP - then you can run into a problem where the image is either down-scaled to non-HD or not played at all. So, if you are getting a monitor with DVI inputs it is better to get one that has HDCP encryption on that DVI input. You would also need to have a separate sound connection, or sound system as DVI does not support audio over the DVI cable which most HDMI systems do now. But then if it is a monitor, rather than a TV, it probably does not have speakers anyway.
