Picture This: TV-Output Comparison

The DVD playback quality comparison was primarily done to show the advantage of Matrox's DVDMax feature over the competing forms of outputting DVD to a TV.  DVDMax essentially allows you to run a movie in a window on your main desktop at any resolution, and output that movie, in full screen, to your TV.  The quality is amazing and truly makes the G400 the best option for a user looking to use their computer for more than just playing games, whether or not Matrox will deliver the G400 in large enough quantities in a respectable time is another question.  The DualHead technology is definitely superior to most forms of TV output, unfortunately you're limited to the G400 if you want that feature which may be fine for some users, but unheard of for others.
