[QUOTE="Spragleknas, post: 534449, member: 17435"] Hi and welcome :) Does the HDMI port on the motherboards just output video and not audio? - NO Does the HDMI port on graphics card just output video and not audio? - NO (some older nVidia need SPDIF wire, though) Can I use a simple microatx motherboard without HDMI but use a graphics card with HDMI to connect to the TV? - YES What is recommended in my situation. Mobo with HDMI/Graphics card with HDMI. - What is your situation? In general, the 4xxx-series from ATi, and the 2xx-series from nVidia has good HDMI solutions (perhaps not if your an audiophile ...). For IGP, I guess all 780G and newer/better cards from ATi are good enough. Not sure about nVidia, but I've used HDMI on a IGP9400 and did not notice anything "bad". [/QUOTE]
