product is advertised as a HDMI device and even offered with a 6 ft HDMI to HDMI cable as a pair. However when I actually received item it is in fact a DVMI output, not HDMI as advertised. This means you would have to purcahse a DVMI to HDMI cable, rendering the "pair" totally useless and a false advertised statement. Other than that it is exactly as shown and advertised,howevr this "simple" discrepency is enough to cause concern as to sellers integrity and honesty.

Before I start... and since someone gave this item such a scathing review... which he felt compelled to cut and paste to numerous websites... let me be clear: It is important to fully research any product before you buy it online. Web vendors usually default to the information provided by the manufacturer's marketing department.
Caveat emptor. Any time you buy online. If you purchase something blindly, you get what you deserve.
Having said that:
If you want to fully utilize your HDTV as a monitor for your basic PC operations, this is your product! You will probably have more problems navigating your BOIS than the installation of the board and the driver software. In my situation, I had no problem with my computers BOIS in regard to it's on-board video (HP Pavillion s3100n), but I needed to compensate for my on-board audio defaults. Once I realized what was going on, it was no problem at all.
Overall... very painless. My PC video...Read more

I purchased this card to hook my media center computer up to my 50" plasma. Although the packaging says HDMI output you have to purchase a DVI to HDMI cable. [...]. In all of the literature it said HDMI with 5.1 audio. When I installed the card it disabled my onboard audio card. I thought the video card would send audio out through the DVI to HDMI cable. It does not. Contacted customer support on December 28th, 2008 and I still haven't heard back from them. So, I enabled my onboard audio via my system bios and I had to run a separate cable for the audio. Also, if you turn off the TV and then turn it back on without rebooting the computer you have to monkey around with the display setting to get it to display on the TV again. If you go into the advanced features you can create some hotkeys to do it pretty easily. The video display is great and the software isn't too hard to figure out, but I wouldn't count on customer service! I would love to give it a lower ratting than 4...Read more
