Interesting that the Shading numbers vary that much from run to run. I'll run it a few more times when I get a spare moment.

I'm surprised that it is a VGA monitor (and by "VGA" I don't mean simply its resolution, I mean the VGA interface as well). The car-TV monitors I've run into have composite or S-vi…
