Reduce screen on external tv

[MasterEnry93]

hi everyone, I would like to use my 48 inch LG c1 as a monitor for my Mac OS, but it is too big, is there the possibility of reducing the display area with some software to view the screen as if it were a 27 inches or 32 inches? Thank you

I probably do not cpmpletely understand - you use the LG in extremes Finder mode (?) Then Finder and program windows are resizable according to your needs. Or do you want cinematic black bars?

I would like to duplicate the screen of my MacBook on the TV, but since it is too large I would like the screen to be able to be reduced as if it were a 27 inch or 32 with black bars around the screen

thank you very much, do you happen to know how it works?

I haven't use it before, I've just tried and my understanding is that you create a virtual display with the desired aspect, then mirror that display onto the real one.
