      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a satisfying picture, with images that are generally sharp and sometimes very nicely detailed. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and generally deep blacks. There are some signs of pixelization, but little edge enhancement to distract.

    Reason #88 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I just started my subscription to your magazine, but I have already seen great potential with some of the features of the Web Site. I sell high-end home theatre equipment and being able to pull up past and current reviews helps me relate to my customer’s needs a lot better. I like to be as knowledgeable as possible with today's technologies, and Widescreen Review really has the potential to help me do that. I am looking forward to getting my first issue soon.
