Maybe.. I havn't tested every tv out there. Could also be a cheap dvd player the person had with composite inputed. My older Sony tv had 1386x788 & everything was displayed at this rez. Before HD or upconverting dvd players, I used a progressive scan Panasonic DMR-E30 dvd player through component & in comparison to a good 4:3 CRT, the image I was getting wasn't as good.
