Quotesigma7 recommends substituting 3,4 for 2,3 in the geometry= line, preferring a pixel ratio of 4/3 to 3/2 (height/width).

I've not yet tried that myself, and now doubt that it would make an improvement in accurately representing the CRT image. The suggestion was based on calculations using a raster adjusted to fit most of the viewable area through the front panel in conjunction with the observation that the usual recommendation for a 3:2 aspect ratio of pixels does not look right.

Since then, anotherLISAguy measured an actual alignment graticule (a very rare service part) and we found that the "official" CRT adjustments put the aspect ratio of the pixels between 3:2 and 4:3, but closer to 3:2.
Warning: Memory errors found. ECC non-functional. Verify comments if accuracy is important to you.

Thank you for confirming this!   

Due to the composite video's analog signal path and 40+ year old Lisa hardware combined with variations in RGBtoHDMI builds, this solution is never going to be plug-and-play.  Some tweaking of the settings is bound to be required for each user.
