One thing about video cards...
The ATI A-I-W 9600, 9600 Pro, and 9600 XT all have only analog output (no DVI or digital output). Many cards have both analog and digital outputs.
Some users have reported poor image quality with analog input to an LCD monitor.
I am running the ATI A-I-W 9600 Pro (analog output) to my brand new Samsung 243t 24 inch widescreen LCD monitor and find the image quality to be outstanding; in fact, it is much better then I was getting on my Sony 19 inch flat-screen CRT monitor which I always considered to be above average.
One of the reviews I read (in Game PC) said the reviewer who tested the Samsung found the analog image to be very much inferior to digital input. In my case the image quality with analog is outstanding so I believe it may be due to the brand and model of video card used (the reviewer was using a nVidia card).
The ATI A-I-W cards have two really nice features (besides great analog out)...
1: Integrated FM radio tuner built into the TV module. Works great.
2: Dual monitor output connectors so you can run two monitors at the same time. The ATI software also has wonderful dual monitor setup and control.
Yorri, I am on my third ATI A-I-W video card with built-in TV and they have all performed exceptionally well.
Microsoft has been using ATI A-I-W cards in the development of Windows since Win 95; in fact when I was using Win 95 and installed my first ATI A-I-W, I finally had my first really reliable TV on a computer after going through 5 other TV cards (I'm now on my 8th TV card).
