+ 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.
