That’s interesting. Would like to hear the details on that. I always just assumed the border was done for a couple reasons. One was there were parts of the max resolution of the screen not used (320x200) vs ~704x262 max for progressive when talking NTSC and if you run some hacks that over scan, the picture will be cut off on the top and bottom if you mess with adjustments. Just like today having black bars on top and bottom for unused pixels __ You will probably mess up the aspect ratio. The other reason too I again assume is the distortion on the edges of a curved CRT, lines may bow, etc. Would love to see the specs of the color monitors that I think are Philips made.

I did this on several of the mono ST screens which shipped displaying postage-stamp-sized images. > Was pretty easy.

They purposely undersized the image because it would strain the part and kill it. There was a pointer to a zip file with the old school text file that describes it and what to replace. I just googled but not finding the post. - Ethan
