Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? (infosec.pub)

Picked up a Hyperkin Dreamcast cable that outputs via HDMI. I tried it out and it’s displaying in this tiny box on my TV. The box on the cable has no settings and the TV is a 1080 Sony Bravia.

I’m not sure what options I have aside from stretching the image via the TV settings but if anyone can assist, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like it’s outputting at the original Dreamcast resolution. I think you’d need an upscaler if you don’t want to have to rely on the TV’s picture settings. It may also be worth seeing if you can lower the display resolution to 480p on that input.

Gonna check the tv settings and see. Thanks.
