I did play around with a "AMDA10 Micro-6700T Quad core Radeon R6" based
box.
vdpauinfo showed that it could do 'DEINTERLACE_TEMPORAL' but not
'DEINTERLACE_TEMPORAL_SPATIAL'.  I don't know if a higher-end AMD could do
the spatial or not.  One advantage is that you don't have to install any
proprietary drivers; the opensource drivers work fine.

I tried it hooked up to both a 720p TV as well as a 1080p TV.  In both
cases it looked good.  When I hooked it up to my 2560x1440 monitor, it
exhibited some tearing.
