CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Graphics Cards. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of graphics card.
Media Center Graphics Card
One of the popular attempted 'convergence devices' of recent years is the media center PC. This can range from a computer with a normal monitor that can receive TV signals, to a central media server that can send movies to the main TV itself. These graphics cards are all capable of outputting signals in a form with which TVs are likely to be compatible.
