Does the picture wrap around one side of the display, or is it
correctly centered? Is it 'wiggly'? Does it have banding
(horizontal, vertical or diagonal stripes of varying colors)? Is
there a bright stripe on either side of the display? Is it
rectangular with perpendicular sides, or does it bow in or out on the
sides or appear as a trapezoid or other non-rectangular quadrilateral
(i.e. a 'leaning' rectangle)?
