Is there a way (software?) to crop the screen to only use for example the middle 500x300 pixels?
Like underscanning?

i need this for a diy beamer i-am making with a overhead projector and LCD but the lcd is a bit to big.....

This might help, I'll plug in my LCD and check.

edit: Nah, cant get mine to do anything interesting with that.

You could find an old nvidia card that keystone works on.

Grab X11 in ffmpeg, and embed it into a flat black jpeg and then stream it, open it on the other monitor in vlc.

Or use a virtual machine.

It is such BS with windoes desktop that you cant shrink the bastrd

what are you beaming?
i would guess it would be more practical to just adjust your software, or footage,
unless you need to like contain the actual desktop, and mouse

@moneylotion
i'd like to beam some games movies, browsing etc.
but a full dekstop would be much more usefull

streaming is not a great option

What is the graphics card, High end and you want to play AAA stuff?

well i want to use it on different computers but, the laptop on wich i'll be using it the most has a Radeon 6770m
So some light games and a bit GTA V

You could put it through a capture device of some kind, latency issues though.

Might be easier to get a different LCD that fits.

It might be worth playing with CRU, My monitor maybe just cant handle anything strange, Be careful with it.
