    Reason #120 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The reason why I read Widescreen Review is simple: It is the only magazine that not only provides the reader with information of the latest technology, products, and recorded movies available, but also actively seeks to move the audio/video industry to produce products that are the best that they can be.
