[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 678392, member: 75318"] I have just upgraded the videocard from the onboard HD3200 to an ATI HD5550 - arrived in the post this morning. Prior to the upgrade I was getting pixelation, break up and stutter and it was particularly bad with fast panning scenes on HD TV - this was more noticeable on BBC HD Channels (although this is a slightly lower resolution than full HD). It wasn't really a satisfactory experience watching HD TV and I tended to go back to watching SD channels instead. I really am impressed by the difference this change has made. I am now getting very few dropped frames (previously dropped about 2-3%) and the graph output from pressing Shift+1 gives hardly any variation in frame rate and sync offset - these previously were all over the place. A good £40 spent on eBay in my opinion! M. [/QUOTE]
