madvr compares very favorably to DoVi if you have the patience, knowledge, and time to configure it properly for your TV. This is talking about the beta builds with a decent video card. I'm not going to even try to make recommendations on that as I typically go for the most powerful thing I can afford/get my hands on when picking a video card but I also use it for gaming. Currently my HTPC is dead and won't be fixed until sometime in February so we'll see what's available then. LOL
But yea, madvr dynamic tone mapping works very well indeed....again, with some work.
