Well as I said, things look great to me without any de-interlace. I'm  
feeding a 32" HD LCD panel that is supposed to be able to correct  
such things by itself, and it appears that it does (motion  
compensation and some proprietary stuff). I haven't tried the HDMI  
input yet, it has a direct satellite receiver feed connected to it,  
leaving the VGA for my Myth box.

I understand that the newer (6xxx and up) cards don't do chroma-key,  
at least not in the same way or as well. The general opinion seems to  
be that the 5xxx nVidia series are about the best cards for Video,  
the later models being optimized for gaming.

Thanks for your input.
