      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 #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
