I have had this card for a couple of weeks and I have now uninstalled it.
The main problem is that this card would not behave correctly with my Panasonic TX-32LXD52. I don't have another to display to test so maybe it is isolated to this panel...
When I put the tv in standy or turned it off and then turned it back on the pc would no longer display until i rebooted. After a while this turned very nasty whereby I could not longer boot into windows. I had to reset the mobo bios inorder to get windows to post.
I beleive that this is a similar problem that effected ati cards and dvi to hdmi. This was fixed in a driver release. I guess in time they will fix this hdmi to hdmi issue.....
It is also noteworthy that ATI provides support for Sapphire cards - they do not provide support directly. However this card is not certified by ati - when buying an ati card check if it says 'graphics by ATI' or 'certified by ATI' - certified means they have actually checked and will provide support.... 'graphics by' means ATI don't support it and you will have to deal with Sapphire's web support...
