I would like to add that not all 4:3 TVs are good with handling 16:9 squeeze mode... Two friends of mine have similar sized TVs (one Sony and the other Thompson I think) and another has a bigger Sony Wega (29" or 32" not sure) and when they activate the 16:9 mode on their TVs a bright white line shows up at the top of the "viewing space" even when the TV is not getting any video signal, which I find very distracting, effectively rendering the widescreen option of the TV useless... Luckly my TV handles it perfectly. So try to test the widescreen mode on the TV before buying it.
