Whilst fiddling about with DISPENV, and the Yaroze in NTSC mode I've
discovered the viewable picture area on my telly is only about 220 lines
(viewable picture is between DISPENV.screen.y = 16 and 236) . This is most
obvious in actual NTSC games e.g. Blitter Boy - where the 240 line picture
cannot be accommodated on the screen, despite the option to adjust the
screen's position in the game.

The TV is 21" SONY KV 21X4U.  I was just wondering if anyone with the same
model has similar problems.

I could just center the screen and crop screen height to 220 so I'm not
drawing lines I can't see, but I don't want to end up with borders on other
peoples different TVs.  This is obviously going to make NTSC development
more difficult :-(

Any insight greatly appreciated, thanks...
