      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If you

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits well-balanced contrast and well-captured details. The color scheme is warm, with rich reds and browns, and deep blacks. While this color scheme does not look natural, it does match the storytelling well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
