Anyone noticed these new cards been displayed on leadtek?

Noticed this last night on the leadtek site and just saw that [H] has a link to akiba which shows a real GF4-ti4200 with video in/out

It would be interesting to see what sort of quality the captures are like.

I wouldn't really say that, as the TV In, and IEEE 1394 are missing.

They are a LOT cheaper than the AIW radeon though, less than $500 for the GF4 4200 :).

Good point, though I'm not sure they're directly comparible to ATi's All In Wonder series, which also include TV Tuners onboard ;). So these Leadtek cards are more like AIW's without the TV Tuners.

Meh! I'm indifferent either way - I've got a separate TV Tuner card with good VIVO functionality :D.

yeah but if you needed a tuner you would be better off getting a better performing card and buying a seperate tv tuner, which would normally have better quality and the like

One can add TV Tuner and IEEE 1394 functionality to a computer for less than $250 anyway, so provided you have plenty of PCI slots, no worries.

Well the MSI board posted on akiba had a tv tuner as well...
It could just be the leadteks without it.
