Pravin, I completely agree with your suggestion about waiting for the next generation of video cards. On-screen TV and video recording were the two reasons I purchased the All-In-Wonder card. I have never used the TV-out feature but it is "wonder"-ful to be able to watch CNBC while I work on my PC. And creating custom .AVIs is a kick. Unfortunately, the original All-In-Wonder card won't provide a crisp full-screen TV image on my 19" monitor. Quake performance is acceptable at 640x480 but the display is too dark in OpenGL mode and it washes out when I change the settings enough to see enemies hiding in the shadows. I agree with Anand that ATI made a card that was "acceptable" in all three modes but excellent in none. From what I've read, the G200 has the 2D and on-screen TV quality I seek but not the speed. The Voodoo3 is a gaming wonder but comes up short on quality. The TNT2 and Rage Pro 128 have better quality but still don't match the G200. Which leads me to wait and see what the G400 has to offer.
