i have the point of view 7300 GS and the picture is very clear, especially in 
those animation films. and it has an HD encoder onboard. cpu usage is about 
20 % playing elephants dream on a AMD X2 4600. Before on a AMD 3500+ / GF 
6800 it was about 80 % and had some lags. display resolution is 1920x1080 
with 50 hz.
