My comment about letterboxing was based on the comment in the OP that "the picture is either too small and doesn’t fill the screen properly, or too big and i lose the edges of the picture.", which implies either letterboxing or zooming. Is it possible that the HDMI to SCART converter is converting the output for display on a 4:3 screen? Presumably an unprocessed 16:9 signal displayed on a 4:3 screen would appear squashed horizontally - known colloquially as "squashyvision".
