      Hello! You all helped me previously figure out how to improve performance of my Raspberry Pi 4 on my 4k TV. I went into the config.txt file and set the resolution to 1080p. I could not do this in the retro config menu for whatever reason, but this seemed to work.

      However, now the outer edges of the screen are cut off on the TV (like it's zoomed in a little too far). This is obvious on the main menu (cuts off part of the legend at the bottom explaining what Start and Select and so on do) as well as in the command prompt where you can't see 4-5 characters at the beginning of each line (which makes it especially hard to make any changes!). I did change a setting on my TV to see if I could correct it, and even when the TV shrinks the image down into a smaller space, the text is still cut off. Happy to provide an image if that's helpful. Again, this only started happening after forcing resolution to "hdmi_cvt=1920 1080 60".

      Thank you for the help yet again!
