    I was just wondering if anyone can help me out there. I just got a brand new high end video card, a ATI Radeon X1950.

    Anyway, I'm not super happy with the DVD Playback quality, although it is better then the last cheapo card I have. I have XP SP2 on it, a 21 inch ViewSonic Wide Screen LCD Monitor. I tried with Windows Media Player and ViewSonic to play the DVD.

    I believe I have to be able to get the quality better then it is now. Can anyone out there help me or make recommendation's on what I can do to help improve my DVD Playback?

    I think the only thing you can do is play around with the settings of your monitor, video card and dvd program.

    ATI cards usually come with a lot of customizable software.

    Try using another software, like Nero Ultra Edition which comes with a DVD Player or Power DVD which I think is also great. Since you have a new card try using Power DVD cuz it has an option to allow ATI AVIVO technology which enhances the picture from what I read at ATI's site.
    Let me know how it works out. You can also check out the trial version to see how it looks.
