Geforce4 Question

I currently own a geforce4 ti4600 for my main gaming PC. Using the latest and greatest detonator drivers there is an option while using the tv-out mode to set the output up in a cinema quality. The button you push to do this resembles a movie reel. When used it widens the screen so when playing movies in TV-out mode they stretch better to fit the TV screen.

I then went out and bought a geforce2mx with tv-out thinking that all nvidia cards using the same drivers would have the same options available. To my surprise the Geforce2MX card lacked this setting.

My question is this: Do you only get this "cinema stretch setting" with geforce4 cards?? If possible I would like to purchase the geforce4MX so that I can build a media center PC, but I need the card to have that setting. Any help is greatly appreciated.
