I guess it is the same with all onboard video...

supports full hardware HDTV encoding up to 1080i, 720p output,

does not say 1080i output.

The related chipset page,

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/c-series/cn700/

says "Full HDTV support up to 1080i and 720p".

Does anyone know when an onboard video chipset will arrive that supports the full range of HDTV resolutions, including 1080p?

That would be nice...sort of a future proof to those of us that don't upgrade every 6 months...

The 6150 chipset from Nvidia should support it now...

Hopefully, it'll be fast enough for HTPC playback... the current series of VIA chips leave a little bit to be desired in that regard. They make great firewall boxes though.

I'm going to build my new MC boxen around the XFX 7300GS with HDMI output and HDCP support due out soon.
