    Reason #110 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review, because of all the A/V magazines I read, I trust the writers of Widescreen Review to give the most thorough review and honest opinion of any equipment being reviewed. I count on Widescreen Review to keep me informed on any and all new information in the world of home theatre more than any other source. I also base many of my DVD purchases on the review of the picture and sound of a particular DVD. I always look forward to finding Widescreen Review in my mailbox!
