The ASUS EAH4550 is a half-height entry level videocard suitable for small form-factor, book size and home theatre PCs users that desperately want a dedicated HDMI jack on the cheap. To be frank, the only reason PCSTATS is devoting pixels to this $50 dollar, PCI Express videocard is because it offers very affordable HDMI video and audio which is fully HDCP compliant. That's something a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor will not do. Not everyone can afford $600 monster videocards after all.
