You don't need an expensive _widescreen_ TV in order to take advantage
anamorphic DVDs.
"Some 4:3 TVs have a built-in 16:9 mode which shrinks the overall height of
the picture whilst retaining the same number of lines as in full screen
mode - these TVs allow you to take advantage of the full resolution of 16x9
enhanced DVDs. Theoretically, you could achieve the same effect on any 4:3
TV by adjusting the vertical height of the image."
