                I will in a little bit
                Grandkids just showed up and want me to get out of my shop and see them for a few minutes!
                I also need to replace the batteries in my TV remote. They just got dead!

                I’ll be back in a little bit.

                Thanks everyone!

                  ok, the solution is in the custom css
                  the issue is the TV screen is a wide-screen
                  I just didn’t play around with it enough to see any differences
                  everything on screen now. removed the border, increased the border size.

                    @mykle1 said in another question... regarding TV's as MM monitors.:

                    so investigate the css further

                    Well, I’ll be . . .

                      yeah, realized the main issue was trying to get it to have a border and it just wouldn’t work with the wide screen monitor of the TV.
