Pros: Low Profile, no need for 6pin power cables. Has HDMI. Video quality is good from an HTPC (living room / TV console) with a 65" LCD TV. Get's good picture quailty.. no issues, no shadowing or video lag for movies / general web usage. Sound from the HDMI also works fine.

Cons: None I can find.

Overall Review: Haven't tried playing any games with this card since it wasn't purchased with that in mind. I'm sure it could handle a little in a low graphics setting for some games, but again not what my intended purchase was for.

Pros: inexpensive, performs as expected

Cons: none

Overall Review: I had an old (6 years?) pc that couldn't play true hd videos (4g file for a 1 hour show). Cpu was only about 25%, so I assumed the video stuttering was due to the video card. This pc was not going to be playing games (and only has a v1 pci-e x16 slot), but I figured a modern, low end card should play hd videos. Pulled the old video card out, popped the new one in, let Windows load base drivers, than downloaded the latest from Nvidia. Now I'm playing smooth hd videos on a 1920x1200 monitor.

Pros: I use these to replace the onboard graphics on Dell Optiplex SFF (small form factor) machines for office use to allow for multiple monitors. I've had 4 or 5 of these cards in operation for a few months to a year, and haven't had a single problem. Needless to say, this chipset is dated and sub-par for any kind of graphics intensive/gaming application, but it's well more than enough to handle basic productivity tasks (MS Office, CRM, and the more-than-occasional YouTube video) and Windows 7's Aero interface. For those purposes it's a great card.

Cons: The ribbon cable that connects the VGA port to the card is cut to very tight tolerances. In other words, when using the low-profile bracket, the cable is just barely long enough to reach around the back of the card to the second bracket. I had one card where the cable wasn't really long enough and I needed to loosen the VGA connector from the bracket to get the internal cable to reach. Also, the card (at least the revision of the card that I have in front of me now) doesn't have a marking to indicate which pin on the card's VGA header is pin 1. The cable will plug in either way. As a point of reference, the red wire on the ribbon cable should be oriented towards the mounting bracket (per the product pictures above).

Overall Review: Because the card is going in a SFF machine, it has to be adapted to use the low-profile brackets. It's a universal problem that a low-profile card can't be made to include both a DVI and VGA port (which is what we need) because those ports simply won't fit on one bracket. Hence this uses all 2 of the available expansion slots in the machine. We don't need the second slot, so it's not an issue. But if you're in my shoes and don't want to take up an extra slot, I'd recommend going with a monitor that supports HDMI, or get a HDMI to DVI adapter cable. (Sadly we have many legacy monitors that only support VGA).

Pros: No issues with this card. Installed - and away it went - looks great hooked up to my LED TV

Cons: None

Pros: Slim Quite Fan Fast FPS (Its meant for Video Streaming)

Cons: Isn't strong enough for any modern games (Not meant to for it anyway)

Overall Review: For using for a simple office PC, this should be your best bet for surfing web and HD videos. The slim design of the fan/heatsink makes it easy for cluttered CPU cases. All in all its a great GPU for what its design for. For anyone looking for a GPU for gaming this isn't for you.

Pros: Cheap and works. I bought this for an office computer I built for my wife. She won't be playing games, just using office programs. So far I'm happy

Cons: None

Overall Review: Enjoy!

Pros: Cheap and small runs cool

Cons: 8400gs Showing Artifacts while streaming movies also vertical Lines poping in and out while playing movies

Overall Review: Also being that it is 29$ gpu and having to pay return shipping makes this GPU a complete waste and im not happy about it.

Pros: -Cheap -Works great with Windows 7 / XBMC -Can handle Blu-Ray / 1080p like a champ

Cons: My only complaint is with the fan. The fan does a mediocre job at keeping the card cool with heavy use and its very loud.

Overall Review: Overall this fits well with my htpc system. Specs are as follows: - Intel Core2Duo T7100 (1.8ghz) (yeah, its a mobile cpu) - 1gig of DDR2 ram @ 677mhz - 8400gs - Shuttle M2000 barebones kit
