Summary: vga on this little box seems to work a lot better than the hdmi out. when you buy it, you're thinking the hdmi is a great feature and really one of the reasons you want to purchase this pc for your home theater. re-consider that, unless you have no problem throwing a new graphics card in it.

otherwise it has served it's purpose great on my samsung 720p dlp. using the vga it looks beautiful and i have no complaints other than that the onboard graphics aren't capable of displaying x264 .mkv files with as great of quality as the analog out does.

that's the thing to consider. every other aspect of this pc is great. it's compact and in a smart, quiet, cool (temperature,) way.
