      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    What would you do if you had Deep Purple

    DVD Picture:
    The non-anamorphic 1.66:1 DVD exhibits images that are generally sharp, though shots of the stage appear undefined. The stage lighting tends to contribute to a smeared appearance, but that is to be expected. Colors are nicely rendered and generally pleasing. Aliasing problems, shimmering details are noticed, but image quality is by no means atrocious. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
