                        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.
