they got changed as Purple astons kept popping up in the national news and as they carried the same stories as N24/World it seemed only sensible.

Brekkie usually have different reports on so i think they can get away with it.

That pic must be quite old as that beige aston was removed about June last year if I'm correct...anyone know roughly what time this picture was captured, just out of curiousity?

BTW this SixForum sounds rather Wink

If I'm correct the small monitor is 4:3; this could be to how the presenter at the screen the 4:3 'safe' area as the camera would be widescreen and we might just see hands and no body!!
That is a really good point, but I'm wondering what type of  projection screen material they are using.

Back projection screens are often off-white in colour but in situations of high ambient-light (like a studio), black screen material is used; which seems to give better contrast and a sharper image. The problem with black screens is that the 'viewing cone' (i.e. the angle from which it may be viewed) is reduced to around 30 degrees from directly in front. This means that someone standing to the side of it would have difficulty reading detail from it.

Anyone got a pic of the screen turned 'off'?
