    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD appears to be identical to the previously released DVD. The picture has a natural, soft look, with nicely rendered background definition. Colors are well balanced, though some scenes are slightly muted, with brownish fleshtones. Hues can be richly saturated at times. Dirt and fine film grain are revealed in the source element.

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
