WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Discover "The Real Cancun" as a group of college students party-hardy on spring break and are followed and filmed 24 hours a day all week long

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits HD 24p-originated image quality that will suit reality TV junkies just fine. Images vary in sharpness, at times appearing slightly soft or smeared, but details can be quite satisfying. The sky can have a blown-out quality during the bright midday scenes. Colors are rich and vibrant, with the plentiful fleshtones appearing quite natural and suntanned, and blacks deep and solid. Minor smearing is noticed at times.

Reason #67 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

Widescreen Review is by far the most in-depth and comprehensive publication in its genre. Readers of all levels of expertise can increase their knowledge and enhance their enjoyment of the Home Theatre experience. Widescreen Review is one of the few, if not the only publication, that actually affects manufacturer�s decisions in regards to their product lines. I believe one of the reasons DTS decoding is so common in consumer equipment is due to the efforts of Gary Reber and his associates. Additionally, the magazine has heralded the importance of a properly calibrated video monitor. Consumers who are so inclined now have the information needed in order for their equipment, from entry level to state-of-the-art, to be the best that it can be. Add to this the software reviews, articles on emerging technologies, and meticulous equipment reviews, and you have a magazine that sets the standard for others to emulate. This is why I read Widescreen Review.
