    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs. Thanks to your publication, most of my video library is letterboxed. I am now prepared for my dream HDTV. Thanks for the information that allows me to prepare for the future!
