      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    From the director of

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits image quality that can be quite pleasing, with colors that are nicely balanced and rich, at times bordering oversaturation. Blacks are deep and solid, and fleshtones appear accurate, if at times a bit orange. While images are generally sharp, there is apparent loss of fine detail that could be related to noise reduction. There is a preponderance of edge enhancement that can be quite bothersome, and pixelization adds a digital quality to the picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs. Thanks to your publication, most of my video library is letterboxed. I am now prepared for my dream HDTV. Thanks for the information that allows me to prepare for the future!
