Best Card for Handling Video Playback & Driving Large Display
I recently acquired a Dell 2405fpw and am now looking for an *AGP* *DVI*
video card to get the most out of this monster display. I very rarely play games, but (aside from business apps) watch DVDs & NTSC broadcasts. While I understand that the scaling issues involved prevent me from obtaining perfect fullscreen video (although DVD isn't too bad, even with the current 9600 pro in the machine...), and even moreso, quality (fullscreen) NTSC broadcasts, I hope to find a video card that handles video and the upscaling of video well. I'm thinking about the AIW x800xt, even though the multimedia software leaves much to be desired. I suppose I could look for third party software solutions for broadcast video. I hear BTV4 is pretty good, if not somewhat cpu intensive. Also, I've been considering picking up the Fusion 3 or 5 Gold HDTV card as well (assuming that my area gets a decent amount of QAM channels). http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/eng/Products/ATSC5Gold.aspx http://www.digitalconnection.com/Pro...fusion3qam.asp At any rate, I appreciate whatever suggestions I can get. I'm hoping for the best quality available for my purposes, as outlined above. Again, AGP, DVI. Thanks, Hark Specs: AMD 64 3500+ MSI MS-7025 (NEO2 Platinum) 1 GB DDR Corsair RAM (2x512)-Dual Channel Mode Current: ATI 9600 Pro, ATI TV Wonder Elite Dell 2405fpw |
