which card is/has better 2d image quality for a lcd? ati, nvidia or matrox?

matrox has best 2d quality hands down lol

Easily Matrox, which is why their cards are so expensive even though they don't have powerful 3d.

thanks guys for replaying. can i ask, is your information up to date i know that matrox had better iq but that was before the 6800s or the x800s, what about today and what matrox card do you recommend (model) ?

Matrox is, hands down, the best in 2D graphics. They do not do well in gaming, but are excellent in the workstation situation (cards that can run up to 4 monitors, yum...)
Around like $100 you can get a good matrox card, but no gaming for you...
If you want to game and still have good 2D imaging, then ATI is your answer. Nvidia is still not as good in 2D as ATI.

as of 6800 series, ati and nvidia are neck and neck in terms of IQ. only probs with IQ are the occaisional blurry cards which is probably a manufacturer error

I dont think so. Having all kinds of cards from Matrox G400's to G450's to Parhelia's, the 2D image quality is only on par if not slightly worse than that of the high end nvidia cards (of any series) and high end ATi cards (of any series).

Basically, any Matrox will have better 2D than any GF MX card or bottom line ATi card, but when you get to high end cards, 2D is extremely hard to tell a difference in. Matrox does not have the best at all in my book.

I agree matrox 2D IQ is far better then most.

matrox

I'm pretty sure ATI's 2D is better then nvidias...

a properly set up 6800 system has the same IQ as a properly set up x800 system

quality is in the eyes of the beholder, that may be the sleep talkin, but im tired and i dont feel like arguing and looking up stuff to prove stuff that i said. gn
