Asus Splendid HD1 vidio Card

22’’ monitors can’t really display true 1080p content. OK, we’ll go for a 27” monitor, or a 30”… 37”? An HDTV would be nice. Whatever size you choose, keep in mind that if you want to be using the display as a PC monitor and a TV at the same time, you might be bumping into some problems. I use my 37” HDTV as a monitor and Vista won’t recognize it as a 1080p monitor unless I play with some drivers. I tell you, it gets pretty annoying when you reinstall Vista that often. I could use a video card that enables 1080p resolutions with plug&play capabilities and that’s exactly what Asus prepares for people like me.

The upcoming Asus Splendid HD1 video card is said to increase picture quality for HD content, as well as bringing true HDMI with audio and HDCP. 1080p content won’t be a problem anymore, thanks to the implementation of Asus' proprietary Splendid technology. Another interesting capability is the enhancement of color and dynamic contrast for photos. The included "Game Mode" will provide a better experience for FPS gamers.

In addition, the card can be set to run in “Demo mode” so users can compare the results and the experience of this card on different platforms. However, this card is only available in combination with Asus' discrete graphics card range, as an add-on. No word on pricing and availability for now.
