Does anyone have any reccomendations for offset settings to start with... I
cant even see the whole text of the setup menus while displayng on the tv...
I really don't even know what numbers to start out with. Also if anyone had
any screen shots of the Appearance seciton of TV setup that would be cool
too. If not, Ill probably drudge around and figure it out eventually...

Anyways thanks for all the good input!!!
