    Right now I was in my video properties and saw that there was an external connected however I am currently not connected to anything and so I was wondering what this could be?

    If I extend the display it just gives me ~1000 pixeols of nothingness on the outside edge of my screen.

    I've had an external HDMI monitor but that's not connected VIA composite so that can't be it. I've had it for at least a year now so I do not think that is the culprit.

    It appeared there today.

    Any thoughts on how to remove it or reset it?
