Bad habit of mine learning lessons the hard way, eh? :) I'd say that
at this point, any sort of geometry problem is far secondary to the
color problems I've created by my fiddling in that menu. (A mistake
I'm sure not to make again!) I didn't realize how much of a challenge
it would be to go back to the original settings. I suppose at this
point, I'm looking at getting the TV fixed... and possibly spending as
much as the TV itself... or, living with what I've done and saving up
for that HDTV... to be serviced by a proper tech, naturally. ;)

Thanks for the input,
Mike
