WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that can be nicely saturated, but with a certain dated fidelity. Other scenes can appear downright washed out, faded, or hazy.

Edge enhancement can be a problem, and there is occasional shimmering and minor pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:

Reason #2 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I feel that WSR has provided me with information that has helped me understand an industry I knew very little about. I have used your reviews on equipment and DVDs to make purchasing decisions. I usually feel that I know more than the sales people at most electronic stores. I really do love WSR!
