Downton Abbey - The Complete Collection [DVD]

Product Information

From folks that have watched those side by side, the difference is negligible when done properly (unlike the screwed up Downton Season).

Collector’s Edition presentation book including 26 discs featuring all 52 episodes, plus Christmas Specials, all previously released bonus content plus exclusive new material. I'm not familiar with Downton on disc, but I'm definitely familiar with the issues that come with putting 25fps UK shows on US home video. Given the thread OP and "Released last year" I will assume it's the newest US set which would 100% guarantee none of the material is 1080i/50 since some US equipment still wouldn't be able to play it.

Some of them are loyal to the family and committed to Downton as a way of life, others are moving through on the lookout for betterment or love or just adventure. Would it end up looking like those old PAL-to-NTSC conversions that were common in the DVD era, where each frame was actually a fuzzy composite of two frames?Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Entertainment Magpie Limited t/a Music Magpie acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.
