What's The Point of HDVP?

Does anybody have any idea what the point is of having a High Defintion Video Processor on a video card is??? is it for HDTV (as the name would imply) and if it is how would they expect you to use it if they the video card has no sort of HD input and if that is the case then why bother to include it on the cards why not save their money and mine? If I'm totally missing the point of HDVP then could someone explain to me what it's for. Thanks
 
I think the point is that the graphics chip has the capability of decoding and outputting HDTV quality pictures but so far no one has made a graphics card that takes advantage of this ability.

I agree with you that it is pointless (and even kind of misleading) to advertise such specs. They shouldn't be advertising chip specs -- they should only advertise card specs.
