Video card supports HDCP, monitor doesn't. Should I worry?

As the title says my Radeon HD 4870 says it supports that feature. Now, I was about to order an LCD but luckily (I guess) stumbled on a review saying something about compatibility issues that may arise by connecting a source supporting HDCP with a monitor or TV that doesn't support it. Now, my choices on PC monitors that support HDCP are far more than limited, in fact I couldn't see such a monitor yet where I can order from.

So what should I do anyone knows? Would such a connection between the devices end up a complete nightmare? Is there any sort of interconnection between HDMI, DVI-D and HDCP? The card came with a DVI-D to HDMI adapter, so I can use HDMI as an output as well. Would a choice affect the HDCP signal in a different way?

Seriously this "issue" came from nowhere.

Any help appreciated
