I'm looking to buy a cheap, probably used video card somewhere that will allow me to watch movies on TV in good quality. What's a good choice?

3d performance isn't important, as long as it's on the same level as my current GF2 MX.

Anything is good. I just sold like 5-6 video cards on the For Sale / Trade forum for around $20-25 shipped.

Anything from a Geforce256 on up would be perfect.

In fact, I have a dual head card for $30 now. You can get something better and cheaper though (that is a dual head card).

Just browse around the FS/FT forum... It is pretty safe around here. :D

If you mainly care about TV-out quality, an old Radeon 7000 - 7500 is a good choice, ATI cards had better TV-out than most gf2 cards.
