    Also available in a separate pan-and-scan edition.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a satisfying picture, with images that are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and definition. Contrast and shadow delineation are also nicely rendered, with pleasing visual information in the darker scenes. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks.

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
