I find all of them annoying

I currently receive STGHT and Widescreen Review and subscribed to The Perfect Vision until recently. I am not renewing my WSR subscription and probably won't renew STGHT either (I only renewed last year because it was so cheap). I really liked TPV about 9 or 10 years ago, but it has morphed into a more commercial and somewhat inferior version to compete against STGHT and Sound and Vision. I liked STGHT fairly well when it first came out, but it has become visually unappealing and is not written with a great deal of intelligence, IMO.

Widescreen Review has also become an annoyance with their pages and pages of blather about their fricking holosonic laboratory and the various equipment therein. They do have a tendency to become extremely long winded and often wind up just beating their subject to death. I will say that I found their recent info on D-VHS useful, but again, way too long winded. I really think this magazine needs some editing to become more readable. I also miss Richard Hardesty's very competent and thorough reviews.
