Downton Abbey - The Complete Collection [DVD]

Product Information

When the US boxset came out apparently they reverted to 1080p as they had too many complaints of consumers not able to watch the discs due to incompatibilities with certain equipment. There are lots of releases throughout Europe but it's so hard to find out if any of them are in the proper framerate. The new Universal sets, though also has 21 discs, are NEWLY PRESSED EDITIONS with different special features and episode breakdowns (with the new Universal format menu and all). Between the desires and dreams of all the residents, both upstairs and downstairs, a day in this household is never far from high drama. 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.

Moving to 1080p/24 is a different animal though as long as it's pitch corrected I have a hard time telling the difference on the video and dialog even watching side by side. With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a grand entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine), threatens to ruffle a few of the Dowager (Maggie Smith)'s feathers. The difference is that they know so many of the secrets of the family, while the family know so few of theirs.

Of course, it wouldn't be the 'complete collection' if it didn't also include the memorable and sad two-hour finale that closed out the TV series in its sixth and final season. There were several EU/Uk boxsets released in 2020 but as far as I can tell, none of them have S1 or 2 at 1080/50 unless the specs listed on the boxset are incorrect.
