I agree. I have an ATI All-in-wonder Pro and refuse to "upgrade" to a
video card that doesn't support video in/TV card capabilities. Just like
my Amiga, I can finally run my Nintendo (the 64 now, though back when the
Super N was out I ran that through my 1084S monitor, which came with IN
jacks like any REAL monitor should) and see these games as they were meant
to be seen, with millions of colors, not five, like with regular crappy
TVs (okay, more than five, but not enough). In the end, my monitor WASTES
my TV as far as games go (also, on a TV you lose at least an inch of
picture on all sides, at least on standard crap TVs), and whatever
Amiga/Matrox uses I'm sure will (BETTER) support this very important
multimedia feature that the Classic Amiga supported way back when.
Luckily, Amiga's not stupid by any means, and I'm hoping they'll hold out
for something more multimedia capable than the G400/G450 for the real
systems.
