I know there is at least one model of HD4850 with the HDMI port, but I'm not sure whos making it. I think its Gigabyte. Saphire talk about it, but I think that might be using an adapter. Google it and check the sites is the best way.

I've been checking out a heap of the radeon's Ken, and most of them have HDMI via an adapter, and not a dedicated port. It's a bit hard to get a decent picture of the connector plate on any of the cards, but most look like they only have 2 x DVI ports and possibly one of those round plugs for TV out.

I had another check round myself Kev and Gygabyte definately make one with a dedicated port. There was a decent picture of it on their website, HDMI, DVI and TV out in the middle. It doesn't have 3 ports like the the 4870. Most of the others makes are adapter on a DVI port. I thought Palit would have made one, but couldn't find one.

I had noticed that. That round TV out port is advertised by so many as supporting a component out via an adaptor when in fact they are really only an S Video connection which is totally different and inadequate for an HD display.

The one thing I did find out while researching all this stuff MM, is that the cable from the computer to the HDMI connection on the TV MUST be a good quality cable, not a cheapie. Data transfer is the main consideration here. Belkin make the one I am going to be using. It's twice the thickness of the other cheaper ones as it has more shielding inside the outer wrapping to prevent interferance from outside radio waves etc.
