 3 July, 2007 – Universal abit wins 4.5/5 from the well-known Xsreviews team: "In my mind, all motherboards are created the same. You buy one for your processor and your RAM. However, this is one time when I'm wrong… Today I have abit's AN-M2HD which features the media moguls favourite: HDMI."
The Editor from XSR praised the high performance and features of the abit HDMI enabled board: "Packed into this board is nVidia's nForce 630a chipset with GeForce 7050PV...Thanks to the 7050, you'll get a rather insignificant looking HMDI socket which allows you to run a huge HD TV if you are lucky enough to own one. Not only this, but this chipset also has HDCP…HDCP allows you to play HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs at their native quality, rather than reverting to DVD quality on non-HDCP devices… HD content is the latest and greatest way to enlarge your carbon footprint and waste your afternoons, and the abit AN-M2HD does this perfectly. With HDMI, currently the best on-board graphics and optical out audio, this motherboard is perfect for a media PC"
abit has always been attentive and thoughtful when considering the end-users, and in this motherboard, have created an easy to install, use and setup format that compliments DIY users. The Editor at Xsreviews notices this and says the following: "As with any motherboard, installation was as easy as grabbing a screw driver and setting to work with screws and motherboard spacers. As I've said before, the labeled front panel connectors made that part easier and it worked first time. To make it easier in the future, abit provide a sticker which you can put anywhere in your case detailing the layout of the front panel connectors and where the all important CMOS jumper lies. Everything is labelled and made easy for anyone who is a little unsure as to where all the cables go."
 The AN-M2HD was rewarded with 4.5 stars out of 5, making the AN-M2HD from abit the best choice for the end-users in a digital home environment: "The overclocking options are nice to see…The manual makes any noobie at home instantly, and anyone with interest but not the knowledge to build a PC will find this board a dream to install and set up."
