Question How to force windows to display a monitor it thinks is 16:9 as 4:3

[D4NTheProtogen]

I am currently struggling with trying to get something which is probably stupid to work, it usable at the moment but it has some horrible black bars on the ends of the screen. I am currently trying to get a CRT to work, its a 4:3 14" ALBA CRT however Windows is detecting it as a 16:9 1280p Macrosilicon LCD. Is there any CRT Monitor drivers or any way to force windows into thinking its 4:3. It works fine at the moment with HDMI scaling in the AMD driver settings just the black bars a bit annoying.

Edit: Cant use VGA or DVI, it only has RF and SCART, currently using a HDMI to SCART adapter

Windows gets information about the monitor from what the monitor or the display adapter reports. The problem is likely the adapter you're using, since Windows is reporting it's seeing a "MACROSILICON" display, not an "ALBA" display. But either way, the only way to get the thing to report what you want would require hacking the firmware.

In any case, you can probably set a custom 4:3 resolution through your GPU's control panel. If that still doesn't work, then you need to find another converter.

That is showing 720p
Change that to 480p.

Edit should be 640x480
