Overclock your monitor

what and how
>>57589167
Install desktop coral and put it on that side of the monitor. Will work with anything that isnt fullscreened

extra ammount of stupid on /g lately.
disappointing
just go to a thrift store and drop $5-20 on a new monitor.

very carefully

Fair warning, the application will bug you about buying a license on startup

Use search engine of your choice

I know for sure that you could do it on a computer to TV setup just using the basic configuration options, but I have never tried on an actual monitor.
Can't you do it from the GPU control panel? Like custom resolution, adjust size to no scaling and change the desktop position

i've used linux programs that do the same shit.
indie devs want to get paid, fuck them right?

Thats what im thinking, in the Catalyst control center there is a UI that lets you resize and move the desktop. You would need to match it to the monitor's native resolution somehow though...
>>57589167
You can do this with xrandr on linux but i'm not sure if there's an equivalent tool on windows that can create a resolution with an arbitrary geometry and position.

Gpu control panels like CCC and NCP has option for setting custom screen borders.
>>57589280
don't overclock it.

This will work but you also have to set your desktop to a 4:3 resolution first or the left hand of the screen will get cut off.
>>57589167
how the fuck did that even happen?

The native resolution should be easy, if the damage is only on a side of the monitor then you can make a custom one with the Y axis on native and the X up to the broken point, like 1440x1080 if it was a 1080p monitor just to keep the 1:1 pixel scale, it would look weird but it can be usable, an also should make all fullscreen applications to work only in that part.
The move and scaling option so the new resolution don't get displayed fullscreen should be there, my old ass FX5200 (yeah, that turd from nvidia) already had that option in the control panel so any new Nvidia CP or Catalist CC should have it.
I asked this question 6 years ago and found other people asking it on various forums 10 years ago and earlier.
The answer seems to be "no"
It's either "hurr, use a tiling manager, durr" or "use a matrox GPU"
