It is wrong. You can use the TV-Out of the pvr350 like a
framebuffer-device - you can run X on it. Okay, it is not fast, but
it is running quite fine. I do that since I do not want to have a
monitor _and_ the tv connected to the monitor.

I can not talk about the GF4, but I know the picture of the PVR350
is quite good.
