A 7300 LE with turbo cache is not a very powerfull grapohics card. It may
may handle 720p HD without stuttering but most likely not 1080i.
If watching SD TV a full screen display will look grainy and have poor PQ
since the 300k SD video frames have to have 1/2 to 3/4 of the pixel content
invented when being up scaled to a 720p or 1080p HDTV.
