No its on the right eye ;) I had a *great* weekend...despite your warnings I
*still* managed to short the backlight on the tin foil being used to concentrate
the led's output onto to the lcd. This successfully fried a 5V regulator. Mistake
number one. As you know I made my own cyberdisplay lcd driver pcb (rather than
buying the M1 OEM kit) and I swore I'd never open the small ergo-box I put the
pcb in once I closed it up! Frying the regulator forced me to open the box.
Mistake number two...

Inside the box I found a dry joint that was not putting 5V through to parts
of the circuit and fixed it...How many wrongs make a right again ? :) When I
closed the box and plugged it in the screen was rolling, fuzzy and had horizontally
reversed again! Ugghh!
So I went back to my circuit diagram and discovered that that single dry joint
fed BOTH of:
   1) the NTSC/PAL select pin on the MCQVV111, and
   2) the HLTOR (horizontal left-to-right) track on the cyberdisplay 320M!

Well I almost chewed the edge off the workbench, and the image is still inverse
to your orientation Don, but all the problems are now fixed and the sunglasses
are working well.

I can hardly wait for my next relaxing week-end!
