    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a lovely black-and-white picture that is nicely contrasted with a pleasing gray scale. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, though some smearing is noticed. Picky viewers may notice edge enhancement and the minor loss of fine details (like pinstripes on a shirt and siding on buildings) noticed during slow camera pans. Otherwise, the picture is quite clean, with only a few flecks of dust noticed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #133 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read all the consumer trade magazines, but WSR is the only one to delve into the technology in a literate, yet useful fashion. I've learned more about home theatres from WSR than from any other title on the market.
