    Reason #30 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because of the honest reviews on home theatre components and the great one-on-one interviews. I subscribe to several home theatre magazines, but hands down Widescreen Review is always a must-read every month, and for that I thank you.
