    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture can be quite dark and undefined. Viewing must take place in a completely blackened room. Perhaps the dark character is appropriate for the content, but contrast is a bit low. Images can be sharp with nicely rendered detail, though some scenes are very soft. The generally well-balanced colors are rich, with deep blacks that support the style of the late 1800

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
