"The short answer is no. The majority of 4:3 TVs will actually produce a worse picture from an anamorphic DVD than a letterboxed one"

Agreed. My neighbor has a Sony WEGA, and when I compared the two displays (4x3 and anamorphic within the 4x3), there was a slight loss of detail. The picture looked almost identical, but small details were lost, and there was more stair-stepping - although I knew what to look for. My neighbor couldn't tell the difference.
