Was there ever any resolution to this ?
I have a similar problem with a Raspberry Pi 3B composite output, and a Sony 36in 480i CRT TV.
I got Raspberry Pi OS to boot and show on the CRT, as well as Retropie and Recalbox.
However, there were major overscan problems. Only about 60% of the image was visible. The top and bottom were cut off. This made it completely unusable. Even the initial setup for Retropie / Recalbox can't be done because the instructions on the setup wizard are off-screen.
I played with various settings in config.txt, but none ever resolved the issue. I don't think they had any effect whatsoever, actually.
Is proper overscan control something that never worked in the first place ? Or was there a regression that happened at some point ?
I would be willing to try older Raspbian / Pi OS releases if it is known to work.
I do have a Pi 4B as well, but have not tried it with the CRT.
