+	formats. The RGB pixel value 0xab/0x55/0xab turns out to be equivalent
+	to the HDMI Video Guard Band code that precedes each active video line
+	(see section 5.2.2.1 in the HDMI 1.3 Specification). To test if a video
+	receiver has correct HDMI Video Guard Band processing, enable this
+	control and then move the image to the left hand side of the screen.
+	That will result in video lines that start with multiple pixels that
+	have the same value as the Video Guard Band that precedes them.
+	Receivers that will just keep skipping Video Guard Band values will
+	now fail and either loose sync or these video lines will shift.
