3D Spotlight has posted a review on the Hollywood Plus DVD decoder card.



When viewing a DVD with the Hollywood Plus on your monitor it is displayed in 24-bit colour, even when your graphics card is set at a lower colour depth than this. This ensures you get the best image quality for DVD playback regardless of the graphics card you have in your system.

Of some note is that image quality may degrade if outputting onto your monitor. Why? Well this may happen when using the pass-through cable to connect your video card to the Hollywood Plus & the Hollywood Plus to your monitor particularly at higher resolutions (1024*768+). Although personally I noticed no degradation of my desktop display, nor image quality in games, I used 1024*768 maximum in either of those areas.
