oh wow, i guess it was the perspective in the first pictures, i need to revise my opinion a little, the line is not as far down as the first pictures had me believe. not too bad, ive seen ones where the line was much lower. the line is actually high enough to keep like half of the sides from browning out. the picture is really much better. i expected the boundary to be somewhere in the lower third of the BP, its better than i thought.
now i say you could get it if the price is right, or you could look for a better one, its still not top of the line but i would no longer consider it a no-go.
