      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The car accident happened so fast, no one had a chance to scream

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD has a clean appearance, with good detail, solid blacks, and very little in the way of source element artifacts. Shadow delineation is well rendered, with details in the blacks easy to see. Fleshtones generally look natural, but indoors they can look pasty and undefined. Edge enhancement and pixilation are not major problems. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
