    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a lovely black-and-white picture that is nicely contrasted with a pleasing gray scale. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, though some smearing is noticed. Picky viewers may notice edge enhancement and the minor loss of fine details (like pinstripes on a shirt and siding on buildings) noticed during slow camera pans. Otherwise, the picture is quite clean, with only a few flecks of dust noticed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #109 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I think that the most important aspect of a technical publication is to be strict with the choice of content and contributing Editors. I feel well-informed by WSR, and the reading of my monthly issue helps me to appreciate the home theatre experience, especially with DVD reviews and the new equipment section. Widescreen Review is for everyone interested in a good home theatre movie experience!
