I can see all the compression artifacts from DirecTV on the LCD that blended all in on the CRT. Since your LCD is so much better than your CRT now you can see the terrible resolution coming over the pipe. :)</DIV><DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">I realize now that I may have blamed the card for my lack of experience with fine tuning it.
