Anamorphic Squeeze
"Squeeze mode gives you 33% more vertical resolution than the normal way. The
images are more detailed ... and the image is simply denser" per Michael TLV.
On a regular or 4:3 set, a 16:9 image would look tall and skinny. By doing the
vertical or anamorphic squeeze, the image or video raster is adjusted to its normal
proportion but with greater or better resolution.
Below is a graphic provided by Ergin Guney.

As noted, this trick primarily applies to 4:3 sets. Ways of accomplishing this
vary for different brands/models.
