Story Synopsis:
The complete fourth season of the critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning HBO series, "The Sopranos" are brought to you here in all their widescreen splendor. Tony Soprano (Gandolfini) is your average joe; a middle-aged guy with an attentive family, lots of nearby relatives and friends, a not-too-secret mistress, a shrink to tell his troubles to, and a steady job...as a mob boss. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The four DVDs in the set exhibit each episode anamorphically enhanced at 1.78:1. Consistent with the previous seasons and throughout the set, each episode exhibits sharp and nicely detailed images. At times, the picture can appear a bit plugged-up and wanting in clarity. Colors are rich and well balanced, with nicely rendered fleshtones, and deep, endless blacks. Though sometimes imagery is a bit dark, shadow delineation and contrast are nicely rendered. Pixelization is noticed throughout and can be quite distracting, with quite a bit of movement noticed in fine details like clothing. The annoying distraction of edge enhancement contributes unnatural white halos. (Suzanne Hodges)
