Embarassed to say I hadn't considered that, just adjusting on the GBS end. Well, now that works better than the other use case.

Thanks for the response, totally forgot to check back. The reason I'm curious is because, say, I have a 480p plasma EDTV that I use for my 6th gen consoles. Most of the time, there is no issue, but every once in a while I plug in my PS2 -> GBS-C -> EDTV.
Now, when most games are plugged directly into the TV,
They fill the whole image in 4:3 mode. When I use the 480p mode on the GBS-C, I get somewhat less horizontal space due to, well, the image has the black bars on the side.
Unlike the VGA monitor, I am not able to adjust screen size on my tv.
Now, this is not a problem in practice. I set the tv to stretch mode and then squeeze the image inward until it's standard 4:3 sizing, and then save that as a custom profile.
My question was just because it definitely didn't feel like I was using it the right way. For a TV that has a max resolution of 480p, I assumed the 480p output from the GBS-C would work without any modifications whatsoever, which brought me back here.
Next I'll have to collect evidence so I can ask about the "pass through color problems" I'll have to detail in another post I suppose
