MSI today unveiled one of the first ever Personal Cinema solutions with the new remote controller similar to than that offered by the rival as well as featuring the NVIDIA GeForce FX technology.

MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 (MS-8918) that will soon hit the stores is based on a GeForce FX 5200 graphics card with TV-Tuner and equipped with radio-frequency remote controller with USB RF receiver and  an AV Breakout Box. I have no idea if the graphics card actually utilises 128-bit memory bus or only boasts with 64-bit, so, I am not sure that the graphics card is really fast in 3D. I think you should ask your local distributor for more specific information about this graphics card.

MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 allows you to watch, record and controle TV, capture video and even play DirectX 9.0 and GeForce FX demos. Of course, you will be able to play some modern games as well.

The product is equipped with one D-Sub connector, Composite and S-Video Video-In/Video-Out as well as Audio-In/Audio-Out connectors on the separate box. According to MSI, both NTSC and PAL TV standards are supported with resolutions of up to 1024x768. NVIDIA supplies quite a lot of software on its NVDVD CD, including InterVideo WinDVR, Ulead DVD MovieFactory, Ulead VideoStudio, WDM capture driver along with Detonator drivers, while MSI also provides quite a lot of stuff with its products.

Pricing depends on the region.
