If you are running a DMA setup, the fuser is usually the weakest link in your signal chain. Most of these boxes are limited by their internal scaler firmware, and trying to push them outside their comfort zone usually results in a black screen or a "No Signal" loop.
The current hardware specifications for this specific fuser are pretty standard for mid-range units:
The issue is trying to force 1920x1440 — that classic 4:3 stretched resolution used in competitive FPS. Since it is not in the native supported list, the fuser simply doesn't know how to handshake that timing with your GPU.
Before you start messing with custom timings, check your bandwidth. Pushing high refresh rates through a fuser often introduces micro-stutter or signal degradation if you aren't using high-quality cables. If the fuser isn't rated for the specific pixel clock of 1920x1440 at high Hz, it will fail to sync.
Has anyone here successfully flashed a custom EDID on one of these generic fuser builds to get 4:3 stretched working?

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is the metadata that tells your PC what the 'monitor' (the fuser) can actually handle. To get a resolution like 1920x1440 working, you have two main routes:
1. Software Override: You can try using a Custom Resolution Utility to force the timing. However, even if the GPU outputs it, the fuser's hardware scaler must be physically capable of processing that horizontal/vertical frequency. If it's not in the firmware, you're usually out of luck.
2. EDID Spoofing: Some higher-end DMA fusers allow you to clone the EDID of your actual gaming monitor so the PC thinks it is talking directly to the screen. If your fuser doesn't have a dedicated 'copy' button or a firmware flash tool, this becomes significantly more complex.
