Since This is a byproduct of video monitors. It's not very pronounced on computer monitors because they are higher spec and designed to be able to faithfully reproduce higher contrast images. Bright colors next to dark colors "warps" the edges. I had to deal with this a lot making commecials on the video toaster. A big white font over black will result in warped vertical lines bowing inward or outward. There is also the issue of persistence, like when you play pong and the ball leaves a trail. -- Archives updated once/day at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsubscribing and other info at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
