I recently got a replacement monitor as my previous one had broken. It was quite old and was second hand. When I connected it to my Raspberry Pi 5 4GB (running Raspberry Pi OS) with a Micro HDMI to VGA cable because the monitor did not have a HDMI output, I noticed that there was about 8 pixels cut off the bottom and the right hand side. Here is an image of my monitor connected to my pi for reference (it is a little big - just scroll to the bottom):

This is while on the default 1920 x 1080 resolution. There is no immediate option to save a custom screen resolution in the screen configuration either. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the resolution and save it in the terminal, screen configuration, or a third party software? I would be very grateful for help
