Before HD-DVD and BLU-RAY evey existed Widescreen review once and a while has given some bad reviews on picture and sound quality for DVD titles. I remember back in the days when they reviewed Laserdiscs, and as soon as DVD’s came out the very first single layer DVD’s suffered from digital artifacts and received bad reviews. On some titles Laserdisc had better picture quality then single layer DVD’s. Then when dual layer DVD’s were released they would get a better rating compared to the Laserdisc picture quality. Of course DVD’s replaced the Laserdisc format and two years later the Laserdisc format dies. I remember how Widescreen Review was pushing D-VHS 1080I format over DVD and was taken heat from people that liked optical disc better then tape. Since at the time D-VHS was the best format in picture and sound quality Widescreen Review sided with D-VHS and ticked some readers off.
The magazine over the last 15 years or so as went down hill in quality. The issues years ago use to be thicker and with more details. Now the magazine is must more thinner and less detailed articles. In some ways I like the Perfect Vision magazine better. Still I can must have both Widescreen Review and Perfect Vision for excellent over all articles.
