Sorry for potato quality - I tried to take a picture of the back but only the serial was clear, the rest was withered and I couldn't get the model number. I have had this TV in the living room for about a year.
Its a Sanyo and it says "flatscreen" to the right lowerhand corner. In the OSD I can switch between 4:3 or 16:9. Kodi however always runs in a letterbox no matter what.
I am trying to figure out the native resolution for 4:3 so I can edit accordingly, but am having trouble identifying this specific TV. As of right now it's pretty impossible for me to move out of the entertainment system, was hoping someone would reconize it. I will try to get a better pic of it and post. Thanks

Looks like a DS series which is a sd set.
Your post makes little sense. Are you using an emulator and having resolution scaling issues? If that is a pic from hardware you have crazy underscan.and need to adjust hsiz,vsiz,hpos and v pos in the service menu to fill the bezel. On old sanyos you turn the tv on, hold the menu button on the set. and un plug it then plug it back in. Write down the original value for anything you adjust so you have a baseline to go back to just in casies.

it seems like your on the right track
have the same tv so I would suggest OP goes with your advice
OP, if you need to know anything specific I'll dig up my manual for the TV and try to help you out also don't even bother with letterbox unless the left/right sides being cut off really bother you

for emulation everything runs fullscreen 4:3, but for some reason kodi in retropie or openelec run any video at a stretched out letterbox. Really annoying. I wouldn't mind if it was a movie made for widescreen, but when it stretches a SD rip of King of the hill it bothers the hell out of me

you need to fix your config or maybe sttings within kodi to run interlaced 720x480 for 4:3 ntsc sd video

That worked perfectly, thanks anon. I was at a loss of wtf to do as I thought I googled all the right questions but got no answers. Adding that 1 line to config.txt hdmi_force_mode=1 fixed it. I already had the emus running fullscreen but now that kodi works I finally have a use besides emulation for the big ol crt.
thanks anons.
