    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture, with rich and vibrant colors, well-balanced fleshtones, and deep, endless blacks. The picture is sharp and detailed, though occasional scenes exhibit a softer focus. In contrast to the bright, colorful picture, the suspenseful and scary night scenes are very dark, but with excellent shadow delineation to heighten the suspense. Unfortunately, edge enhancement is a problem throughout and can be quite a distraction. Pixelization also creates a

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
