    Reason #61 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’m in the process of putting together my first home theatre system. I’m the kind of individual who likes to research products before I buy them, so that what I buy today will not be obsolete tomorrow. Widescreen Review covers all the audio and video equipment that I will need from cables right up to the HDTV monitor.
