    When the Johnson Family goes on Vacation, the word

    DVD Picture:
    Visually supporting the lighthearted storytelling with a bright color palette, the anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is quite pleasing throughout. Hues are nicely saturated with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp with nicely rendered details and well balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Rarely does the picture exhibit any signs of smearing or softness. Very minor edge enhancement is noticed at times, but there is no bothersome pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
