Value-oriented DIY PC motherboards are most often equipped with analog display connectivity alone, with high definition digital outputs such as HDMI considered a feature commonly reserved for more expensive models.

The GIGABYTE HD series defies this convention, combining affordability with full digital display support and allowing users to get more from their value-segment motherboards. By adding both HDMI and DVI ports to a range of motherboard models at affordable price points, all DIY enthusiasts can enjoy true HD display capability using the most commonly integrated digital output technologies on today’s HD displays and TVs.

Digital output technologies like HDMI are becoming the de-facto standard on most HDTVs and PC monitors, with the advantage of carrying both HD audio and video signals over a single cable. As well as offering higher screen resolutions than analog display outputs, digital display outputs also offer support for the latest 3D media content as well as access to protected content via HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

Having access to dual digital displays is also a great way to increase productivity, offering much more on-screen real-estate than entry-level motherboards typically provide. GIGABYTE HD series motherboards are ideal for a range of business, office and education scenarios where adding an additional digital display or projector is paramount.

GIGABYTE HD series motherboards integrate GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic technology with built-in features that prevent common malfunction threats. Protection against humidity, electrostatic damage, power failure and high-temperatures is achieved using a range of technologies and features including glass fabric PCB technology, Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs, anti-surge ICs, solid capacitors and GIGABYTE DualBIOS™.

GIGABYTE HD series motherboards span both Intel^® 2nd and 3rd generation Core™ and AMD A-Series platforms, creating a range of highly affordable, yet digitally proficient motherboards.
