>>Jerome, please don't take offense to this but I really think your experimental work with this AR thing is a waste of time. This is NOT a subjective issue like "correct gamma" settings. This AR can be simply calculated using simple formula. No offense at all. I understand that. I was just making the comment because I had INDEED never taken the time to play around with AR. Since I hadn't read that part of the manual thoroughly (in favor of more interesting topics) because this seemed so esily handled, I had never fully come to grips with jusst HOW the screen would distort if you messed it up. Kind of like you know how your legs work as their currently constructed, but you wonder just what a chair would look like if your knees bent the other way. Call it mental masturbation, pure and simple.
