In Reply to: Television Sets, What is the "Squeeze" Trick on DVD? posted by Lyndon on November 6, 2001 at 14:50:49:
The "squeeze trick" is actually a part of the TV. The TV that can do it will "squeeze" the scan lines to fill only the 16:9 portion of the screen when attached to a DVD player outputting a 16:9 signal. (most DVD plyers can be set via the menu to output to a 16:9) The DVD itself HAS to be "enhanced for 16:9" or "anamorphic" for it to work with a "squeeze"ing TV. The result is a much sharper image for widescreen movies. All the scan lines that FILL the normal vertical 3:4 screen are used WITHIN the 16:9 area when the "squeeze" is on.

As to any low priced TV's ?????
And I don't think it will even work with anything less than a component connection either.. but on that I am not certain.
My Sony 36XBR400 does it and it is a great feature.
