Every damned video card review ignores this. They always focus on features and framerates, but leave out image quality. Yet you can find endless numbers of people on message boards and newsgroups that claim one video card has better image quality than another. But none of these people give details. They just say, "oh ati looks better than the dozen or so nvidia ones I've seen", but neglect the specifics. Why do people always have trouble with aesthetics? It's like when you ask someone why he thinks one girl is prettier than another. They never say "that ones nose is slimer and gawline is sharper". No, they never know. They always say "idunno, she just is". I hate that, they are all morons. Take 15 seconds and look at her damnit.
Great, what the hell was I talking about now? Oh yeah, video cards. Someone find me that one review out of the thousands written that give details on image quality. I want someone to tell me the specifics, take pictures with a camera two inches way from the monitor with different video cards installed. No one ever says if you look close enough you'll see this one clearly produces a sharper image, or the colors are more vibrant, or whatever else. They never give specifics and it annoys the hell out of me.
