High-definition video on PC has become very widely spread over the past couple of months: full-HD monitors are currently available for $500, Blu-Ray optical drives sell at about $250, and the leading graphics processor developers are already offering inexpensive chips that are promised to free the CPUs completely from video-data decoding. But is it all as simple as it seems? Let’s try to find out together!

It would have been nice to see HD2400 pro in that test also. IF AMD/ATI could fix that minor quality bug in HD with the 2400 series, 2400 pro seems like the perfect HTPC card.
