      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Lincoln High School

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is quite impressive, especially the color palette. Colors are rich and vibrant, with accurate fleshtones, bold hues and deep blacks. The blues and reds of the school uniforms are especially eye-popping and solid. Images are sharp and detailed, with good depth and clarity. There are few instances in which anything in the picture is distracting, but there is some minor pixelization, and occasional edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic’s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
