I don't make it a practice to believe manufacturers specifications, My selection of this motherboard was based on: if it can't do HD I can always add a video card which I did. What has pissed me off is even with the video card the chip set interferes with the image resolution, that I never expected.

I now don't believe that any on board video will come close to beating a dedicated card. Why would Nvidia or ATI make a product that cuts into their lucrative video card market. Intel is nowhere near making it possible based on what I have experienced. At best, on board video will be for office use or simple computing.
