Guess I'm talking to myself at this point, but I guess some things never change.
Just thought I'd update everyone: the work I did this past weekend did a lot of good. Vertical now fills the entire screen, the horizontal control now sits more in the center of it's adjustment instead of at an extreme like it had been, and I did a 'ghetto convergence' job tonight using the DVR.
This is what it looks like now. (excuse the crappy cell pics)
It really does look quite good. If I can get Mark to bring along his bar gen next time he stops by, we'll be able to tweak it a lot better than it is now.
