>>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.
