WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Television

DVD Picture:
This new anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits sharper and more detailed images than the previously released DVD. Colors are rich and full, if sometimes overly saturated, with ruddy fleshtones at times, and deep blacks. The source element is revealing of dirt and film grain. Some edge enhancement is noticed at times, as is pixelization and occasional shimmering or detail breakup. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
