      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    He had the

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.78:1 DVD picture is not anamorphically enhanced, but images can be generally sharp and detailed for the closer shots of the performers. Shots of the full stage appear quite smeared and undefined. The lighting is quite dim at this small venue performance, but contrast is satisfying. Hues are nicely saturated, with colorful stage lighting, natural fleshtones, and deep but often undefined blacks. Aliasing problems and shimmering details are occasionally noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel audio presentation has been well-recorded, and the spatial presentation is wholly involving and engulfing, with some rather creative and interesting dimensional pans and distribution. There

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
