I picked up the 27" flat screen Akai from Sams Club for $380 after tax yesterday. So far it looks great. I adjusted the picture with video essentials. Playstation 2 games look nice hooked up via S Video. I know this TV has the 16x9 squeeze feature, but I am still unsure on what it does. What are some DVD's that can use this and how do I use it?
