    Reason #109 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I think that the most important aspect of a technical publication is to be strict with the choice of content and contributing Editors. I feel well-informed by WSR, and the reading of my monthly issue helps me to appreciate the home theatre experience, especially with DVD reviews and the new equipment section. Widescreen Review is for everyone interested in a good home theatre movie experience!
