I suppose it’s a flat screen TV and not CRT? For CRT it’d be relatively easy to add a new aspect-corrected mode where horizontal sampling timings are multiplied by 4 except active which is multiplied by 3.

It is a CRT! A widescreen one similar to this Grundig or this Loewe. It accepts 480p via VGA but always displays the pic…Read more

Unfortunately the TV doesn’t have a 4:3 display option. I need a device that can both line-double and also horizontally shrink the 240p picture (into the center of the raster) to counteract the TV stretching it to fill a 16:9 screen.
