Least expensive HDMI out Gfx card

I run a 5770 with hdmi running into a 42inch tv for watching movies etc i always get a smooth clean picture no problem.

Also the card you linked should be fine if your just planning on using it for watching hd content

Yeah, I have a 5770 and it runs the TV fine, what I need is another inexpensive HDMI out card to run the TV without having to swap the HDMI cables.

What I don't want to do is buy, say, this only to find it's bobbins.
 
I use a £25 nvidia gefore 210 to watch blurays and 1080p mkv's on my 40" samsung 1080p tv no problems at all

Go for the 5450 instead. It carries all the lastest HD audio codecs

Too late :(

HD audio codecs aren't massively important at the moment as most if not all of the movies I watch have the audio fed to my ears via headphones.

And the 5450 has a fan, t'other un doesn't.

The 5450 is passive too

The one that's passive that I can see on OCUK is also twice the price.

For the most part, content is converted on my PC to play via the PS3 but there are those occasional bits of content
which have been encoded by gimps and which won't easily reconvert to a playable format on the PS3 and are, when
I'm drunq or time is pressing, far easier to play via the PC over a very long HDMI lead.

In this instance, good enough is ok for now.
