I want to use this board to build a pc to watch movies via hdmi and my lcd tv. Can anyone tell me how the onboard graphics handles this?

It handles very, very well. I watch netflix off this motherboard all the time on my lcd tv

Using internal graphics as this board is in an ESXi server for some home VM testing. Honestly there are better boards out there I only got this as it is a reference board and should have universal compatibility with VMware

The Intel HD graphics is on the motherboard. You could add an additional graphics card to one of the PCI-e slots but it would probably have to be a 'half-height' card. I did a little research on this but decided to wait and see if it would even be necessary first. So far the integrated graphics have worked just fine as I'm able to play HD (*.ts) video files full screen without any issues. Once I start editing HD (Blu-Ray) video files, it may become necessary to add a video card but I don't know the answer to that yet.

I read somewhere that, it supports a resolution of 2560x1600. so it should support dual monitors if the total resolutions falls under this. I'm using nVidia GPU, so I never tried the onboard hdmi or DVI.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

Sorry I only use this board in an HTPC running XBMC (Linux OS) but it works flawlessly for video.

Yes. This board is designed for gamers who, typically, want very specialized graphics capabilities. Rather than stick an expensive graphics facility on the board that many (most?) purchasers would not use anyway, Intel's logic seems to be that we should be able to buy the board a bit cheaper and apply the difference to some screaming Graphics card(s) that truly meet our needs. Though the on-board HDMI may suffice for some folks, there are many applications that don't support it and many monitors that don't provide an HDMI input.

The HDMI on this board is not quaranteed to support HDCP although it seems to work most of the time. If it a problem I would recommend installing a video card designed for what you are doing. Also be sure the cable and screen you are using is complient. They can cause problems as well.

If it has a slot for a video card (which all motherboards should) then you should be fine.u can connect 3 keep in mind 2 are dvi ports and 1 is hdmi. u have to set them within windows though (screen resolution->multiple displays option)

I would assume that it has HDMI being that it is an i3 core which includes HD Intel Onboard GFX, and from what newegg says, this model should have a HDMI port on the motherboard.

I just looked at your motherboard model and its compatible with your motherboard, how ever, your boards already had a nice integrated video in it.

Understand that you must have a video support for each display. Even though the board has a video connector (choose one only of VGA, DVI, or HDMI) if your CPU has no video, you will need a video adapter card. If your CPU does have video, that will give you only ONE display. Then you need add-in cards for additional displays. You probably already know that, but sometimes the simple "Yes" answer can be confusing to someone "passing by" and reading Q & A.

that is correct. My friend has one with the NVIDIA chipset built upon the board. It produces stunning graphics on screen and with Corel Photoshop it breezes right thru picture manipulation.

I can't recall what the board recommends but I'm running it on the stock supply in my HP Slimline and it's working great. I'm not a gamer. I use dual monitors to run my ham radio contest software and this board does all I need and then some.

This board supports an hdmi input. Like an hdtv. If you want to plug in a classic moniter you will need a graphics card that supports it

It will work only with Intel Motherboards and as far as graphics I will not choose AMD chipsets (you can use an onboard Intel graphics, or any external card but not AMD chipsets)
