I would prefer the both be like the video screens. I can provide resolution or other info on my setup if this might be a bug or it is helpful.<br>

</div>I was able to greatly reduce the display artifacts by lowering the sharpness<br>
setting on my TV! Amazing that the sharpness setting could introduce such<br>
strange artifacts and even more amazing that just the theme background<br>
change could trigger the artifacts.<br>
<br>
However, I say that I was only able to reduce the artifacts and not<br>
completely get rid of them. There was some vertical banding remaining no<br>
matter what setting I tried. So I created my own background for the<br>
Mythbuntu theme that is a simple solid color with no moire-like effects and<br>
that completely solved the artifacts problem. I've posted the background<br>
image to the forum post for anyone else that may find screen artifacts<br>
resulting from your TV fighting with the new Mythbuntu theme background.<br>
