Before TVs commonly had a wide screen mode, videophiles would often use the service menu to reduce the vertical size. The extra scan lines help, but I think the fact that the DVD player doesn't have to scale the wide screen picture makes the most difference in picture quality. Some DVD players do an awful job of compressing the vertical size into a letter box format.
