If I have to choose between high-end audio with broken video, or traditional audio and working video playback, I sure know where my vote is.
And my vote is with the audio! Indeed, I have already exercised that vote: I watch my video/DVDs on a lowly computer monitor, but have spent money on a decent sound card and separates hi-fi quality sound system. I am now spending even more money on the sound system but still don't see a reason to upgrade the computer monitor.
I admit I am a little unusual in this respect!
I have to admit ... I want to buy a small computer with a decent video card with HDMI-out and gigabit-ethernet, dvdrom (maybe blu-ray), etc., to plug into my "big" screen TV (via A/V amp - HDMI in, component out), simply to play videos. It'd even be able to replace the DVD player I have, as well as being able to replace the CD player - just put all my CDs on the disk (or on the network somewhere) and be able to play anything I want any time I want. Or even to play an internet radio station. I don't know what video card is best for this, but the video card and driver will be the most critical parts to this, so I'm waiting to see what is best - oh and it has to be linux. I'm not going to use Windows for this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
