Only difference is that ATI only supports Composite or S-Video output and sadly it still isn't that great..

I think you'll find both Matrox G400 and G450 give better TV output as they support custom mode creation, Composite, S-Video and RGB.

Your right though scan convertors are in general crap, as they mess with the actual RGB colours and hence the picture looks a damn sight worse, picture degradation is also present as is buffering problems/smoothness.

Personally if your using TV, go for an ATI or Matrox, if your using Arcade monitor go for Native arcade monitor support via the various cards..
