Best gfx card with HDMI out?

[Finality]

I'm looking to build a new HTPC and was originally going to pickup any graphics card with HDMI out but after talking to some audiophiles & videophiles they told me all video out is not equal.

Whats the best video card with HDMI out? Budget up to $500 for the graphics card.

Are you only planning on using the PC for HTPC, and not gaming or anything? If so, probably the best bargain out there is something in the Radeon 46xx line. It does full video decoding, and can output 7 channel LPCM audio to a capable receiver as well.

Something like this:
