Well it would not generate the same amount of black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen in the case of a widescreen DVD.  So the signal
would be different.  The aspect ratio would be preserved, and rather
than having the DVD add bars to the top and bottom and then have the
widescreen TV add black bars to the left and right, you would end up
with mostly picture on the screen.

If the DVD player setup has an option for TV aspect ratio, then that
would be it.  Of course the TV has to not be set to stretch, since that
just ruins all images you view.
