Sit so close, you can't follow the action. The edits come too fast this close. Turn the channel selector. Turn it again.Turn the contrast up. If you have a focus control, turn it so the image is grainy. Toughen up the image. Just a touch of fine tuning ... press your face on the screen. Keep your eyes open. It's beautitul up close. You can feel the charge on your face. You can sense it when you close your eyes. The cool light is red inside.
