I paid almost $20.00 more than what I could have gotten it for on Newegg because I thought it had a HDMI connection. It came with an svideo out instead. Not the card pictured.

This card is good for someone who wants a mid range graphics solution, if all your looking for is HD TV. However, the picture is deceiving, it shows that the card has a native HDMI port, but when I got it, all it had was DVI, VGA, & S-Video. I had to use a DVI-HDMI adapter. So if you want native HDMI port DON'T get this card.

1.0 out of 5 stars Diamond labeled and packaged the wrong product, January 23, 2010

I also experienced the same problem noted by other reviewers: the item I received was NOT a Diamond 4650PE1G.

I looked on Diamond's web site (just Google the model number and you can find it) and confirmed that the product I received was NOT a Diamond 4650PE1G, but was instead a Diamond 4650PE1GHP.

The 4650PE1GHP has a DVI port, HDMI port, and a VGA port; the 4650PE1G has two DVI ports and an S-Video port. As clearly described on Diamond's web site, both models have "dual-link" DVI ports, but the 4650PE1G has two of them -- in other words, "Dual DVI" means two ports.

Here is the strange part: the card and the box are labeled "4650PE1G," even though the product is clearly NOT the same product described on Diamond's web site.

My conclusion is that Diamond screwed up in both the labeling and packaging of this product. Amazon and its customers are the unfortunate victims of this error.

I returned the card to Amazon and am awaiting a replacement -- hopefully, a real 4650PE1G instead of the incorrectly labeled and packaged 4650PE1GHP.
