"DVD video is so bad on Windows 7 with the CyberLink player that we can’t recommend using DVD."

I don't understand the logic of this sentence. Is it written correctly?

Good article, anyway.

We referred to the fact that graphics cards show rather poor results in HQV test, which measures DVD video quality.

Since the score/quality is so low, we published HQV scores obtained on Windows Vista in order to show maximum possible result for given chips.

Still, given poor score/quality, we cannot recommend using Windows 7 + Cyberlink player for DVD playback at the moment.

Windows 7's DVD decoding (codec) is actually better than the CyberLink player. Just use Windows Media Player for playing DVDs.

Thanks for the tip, but WMP does not seem much better in DVD.

I know that the main card in this family is the 5770, but I wouldn't mind seeing a 5750 relative performance chart also...

Still, awesome review.
