    In short, how is the display meant to handle the aspect ratio of each of the following resolutions when being output from the OSSC?

    720×240, 720×480, 1440×960: these should be scaled to 16:9 or 4:3 depending whether source is anamorphic widescreen or not. 720px default active width is selected for max compatibility – if your display supports 704 (via adv. timing tweaks), it should result to most correct aspect ratio.

    1280×720, 1280×960 (l3x/l4x generic 4:3): display should treat these as 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. The default settings should be good for correct aspect ratio for 4:3 sources.

    1600×1200, 1920×1200 (l5x generic 4:3): these should be also treated as 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, but default sampling rate is selected for compatibility at the price of slightly wrong aspect ratio. H.samplerate 1950 should give correct aspect ratio but is not supported by many displays.
