You're right about the I gain of course, it was set weeks ago and has never seemed to require further tweeking. And I probably shouldn't have thought of the matrix as only the nine discrete 1/2-watters that combine the +/-IQ and Y.

I wish you could all experience the actual video: There's a commercial playing for a Lilo&StitchII (sp?) DVD. The bug-eyed character in the commercial on the CT-100 has bright, intense, large lime-green eyes that pop off the screen at you. Interestingly, in an A-B comparison between the CT-100 and my 38-in. widescreen CRT HD set, there's no similiar effect on the HD set, although there may be setup issues to consider. Just came back from seeing the DVD at Target. The eyes in the print version were pale blue and didn't even appear to have been designed to draw attention --nothing like the TV ad to my eyes anyway. Now I'm wondering what the DVD image would look like on the Merrill. Na. Not worth the fifteen bucks to find out.
