Not that I doubted your words for a moment, but just to comfort myself I did
try to bring the Cinema down to 90 candelas, and indeed things started
looking a bit more similar. But then, I really prefer the cinema at its full
splendour.
Think I9ve learnt to be be more at peace with the difference, and to live
with the limits.
Thanks for the quick reply David.
