[QUOTE="FantaXP7, post: 394272, member: 88166"] I just received in the mail the radeon 4550. So far I am pleased with this over my old x1600 pro. I can easily select 1360x768 and adjust to fit my television with the scaling option, which for some reason with my old card was grayed out...This brings me closer to a 1:1 ratio. One other feature in the catalyst control center that I had read people talking about, pixel format, is now visible. SD quality is looking nicer. I am not sure yet about HD. I was using Core AVC but switched over to MPC (because it is better to have the video card decode rather than the cpu? Thats what I am assuming MPC does and why everyone uses it). Anyways, thanks to you all for your input and I am very pleased with this purchase. Just edited this because when I switch inputs on my tv to the hdmi where the htpc is connected, my screen flashes just like with my old card... [/QUOTE]
