...don't mean to hijack the thread, but this brings up a pet pieve of mine. The station were I work has robotic cameras in the studio now, as do a lot of modern TV studios, and we have Marshal 5" flat panel LCD monitors in production control... Well, some of the technical directors don't realize that the LCD panels display the entire video frame, and they adjust the shots based on what they're seeing in those displays. So... when I'm at home watching the newscast on a CRT TV, the framing looks odd.
