Greetings gents -
I had a feature request that would be awesome (for me).. When viewing 4:3 on a 16:9, I typically dont like stretching. Makes everyone look short and dumpy. But at the same time, I suffer from 65" CRT burn-in blues. I know that too much black time will inevitably result in an un-even burn of my phospher... So I always end up going back to stretch..
I was thinking - it would be really nice to have the option that did very slow rotations of a black to 50% gray. Like maybe with an hour duty-cycle or something. Just to be sure that those sidebars get their fair share of electrons over a certain period of time. ... I know a lot of TV's do 50% gray all the time, and that certainly helps..
Oh man - you know what would be even cooler? You know those Sony plasmas that have those backlights that adjust to the average intensity colors of a TV scene, and project it on the wall behind? What if the sidebars did that? - Maybe that would be enough electron fun to counteract burn in - while also providing some asthetic pleasure.
And thus I ramble.
