Vertical Live Timing On Screen

[Mark(MG)]

Did you even look at the screenshot in the original post? Explain to me how that is a third of the screen, please. And, as I said before, the camera crew and the Screen FX team have worked around it so that you can still see the racing. If you can see the racing, what's the problem?

If you include the left side space and the timing board it easily fit 1/3...if you had any knowledge of any media convention you would understand the rule of thirds! With a much larger timing board/bar you may miss small crashes, passes or any other events during race that happen to be on the left 1/3 of the screen.

Let's your right, and that does take up 1/3 of the screen... As I've said TWICE already, the camera and the Screen FX Team have compensated so that we can still see the action their focusing on. If there's a crash on that left "1/3" of the screen, we wouldn't see it anyway because that isn't what's being focused on. Unless you like to watch around the riders at focus, then you wouldn't see that crash with last year's timing effect either

I'm just saying that takes up more space than last years timing and in my opinion I think its worse

It might be ok on HDTV's, but it's next to useless on a CRT, can barely read the names.

I agree

Why do you have a CRT screen?

[yzmxer608]

Because it's old and hasn't died yet, and for a flat screen to fit we would need a different entertainment center.

I can think of more reasons to throw out what you have than not to.

A TV and stand is maybe $600-800 these days? What about HD? We are nearing the world of UHD and you don't even have HD yet?! Nate, Mr. Tri-SLI, no HD?!

I have HD on the pc . Was thinking about getting a cable to usb converter to use my uverse wireless unit on my PC since I never watch tv in my room.

I love not having to use live timing, but I wish they would make this docked to the extreme edge of the screen, and separate it from the race footy (like a border).
