      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a bold color palette with well-balanced contrast, making for an enjoyable presentation. Contrast is also balanced well, but fleshtones have a reddish hue that can become a distraction at times. Black levels are slightly milky, but shadow delineation is lacking, as details in the darkest scenes can be crushed. Details in general can look rather soft, and color bleeding can be noticed at times. Edge enhancement is not recognizable but pixel breakup and noise can be noticed throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
