nope - only VGA out and I read that it has a max resolution of less than 1080P from the integrated video.

VGA does 2048xSomething the LVDS output is what's limited to 1366x768. Still, without hdmi, I wouldn't waste time. There will be better boards to market. This one is marketed toward ultra-low-priced midrage systems, not HTPCs.

Can you give me some examples?
I'm interested in one of these.

Has anyone installed the Broadcom Crystal HD Hardware Decoder (BCM970012) in an Acer Revo 3600? If so, did it improve the HD playback? I don't need the WiFi and I still get some stuttering of the video. Maybe this is the solution...

Will this one from Asrock work with Crystal HD?

why do you want to put a crystal hd card in an Ion motherboard 
The ION chipset already decode HD better than a Crystal HD card. Unless you absolutely want to use Windows maybe.

I want to use Win7 + hardware decoding + subtitle support. That's the reason ;-)
