Uh I thought.. that the image looks wider on the computer because of 
displaying the rectangular pixel perspective in a square pixel 
environment.
Obviously the TV does not "squish" it's own native signal. It simply 
displays the rectangular pixels correctly . It is the computer that 
makes it look funny and has to
convert the picture to square pixels in order to display it properly,
