I agree with everything Wayne says, BUT, the truth is, most of us can't 
feel the effects of a difference in resolution with lower than 100% 
ATV.   After all, before we had 1024 there was 512 and I can't remember 
anyone complaining about poor resolution back then.  There are some 
pilots who really can tell the difference in resolution between 100% 
and 50% ATV, there are pilots who want the rest of us to think they can 
and then there's the rest of us.
