***This I don't know. I understand what an anamorphic lens is but do not know how anamorphic applies to DVD. I'm assuming its how a DVD unit plays back a film shot using an anamorphic lens? How is unsqueezing done? Unsqueezed to fill up the 16:9 screen I assume? Are you asking if an anamorphic picture is unsqueezed to fill a 4:3 picture? Won't this cause distortion? Why not just watch an anamorphic picture with the black horizontal bars on a 4:3?***

Anamorphic DVDs (most are anamorphic releases these days) have increased vertical resolution (when your set can unsqueeze them). The increase in picture quality is more than just noticeable. This is a must have feature, and if I were you, I wouldn't even consider a set that doesn't have this feature.
