When considering video cards with TV output for a new computer build, users have reported mixed experiences. While DVDs and downloaded videos display well on standard TVs, the resolution limitations of most TVs lead to fuzzy desktop visuals, making text difficult to read. High-definition TVs may improve text clarity, but standard TVs generally lack the pixel density of computer monitors. Additionally, many video cards or separate add-in cards come with TV tuners, allowing for TV watching and recording directly on the computer, which is seen as a valuable feature. Overall, while video playback is satisfactory, desktop use may not meet expectations due to resolution constraints.
