just imagine printing a frame on a balloon that has 720x480 pixels on 
it. When you stretch it so the pixels have the same spacing in every 
direction, that's how it will look on the computer. When you relax the 
horizontal a little and let it pull in to 88% of that width, then 
that's how it looks on the TV.
