    I am thinking of investing in card as well. as it seems to max out my processor watching 1080P movies with my onboard graphics card. you think i can get a good enough card for $100?

    I have a GTX 280 graphics card which can handle HDMI output very nicely, also 2560x1600 resolution on the dual-dvi :D

    ATI HD series is an excellent choice in HD technology because of their pixel shaders are higher than nVidia.

    I have a Sapphire ATI HD3870 and it makes Blu-ray look incredible!

    A $100 graphics card would be enough for watching 1080P in HDMI monitor or 1080p HDMI lcd tv

    nvidia card consumes more power and generates more heat
