 Sure, you set a 640x480 video format, and you render in a 320x240 area
 centered in the 640x480 space. this is wasting 3/4 of the screen you
 paid for :-(.
 What you can do is doing 4x 320x240 channels in one video output. You
 can connect 4 monitors to the same video output and mask 3/4 of the
 image on each monitor, that will save you video outputs. You could do
 4x4 = 16 320x240 displays with the same number of video output !
