    Also available in a modified 1.33:1 full screen edition.

    Story Synopsis:

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
