The OSD seems to be the focus of most complaints; so here's an idea that would be an answer to most peoples problems.

Outlaw should develop a method to allow the user to program the OSD with any of the available parametric data through the USB or RS-232 ports.

They could for instance provide a web-based tool for selecting the data desired on the OSD, along with a choice of several simple formats. The user would then download the selected program and upload it to the 990.
