Does this set still have the issues of having a good chance of one or multiple of the discs not working?

This is why I’m afraid to purchase this set. I’ve been hearing certain discs won’t play.

My set has a a few scratched discs, but none of them freeze. I say take the gamble.

No scratches on any of mine they just pixelate and jump a minute ahead , tried on multiple players and the same outcome .

Same I really want to upgrade my blu rays to 4k but I just keep seeing to many issues to finally go ahead and do buy it in 4k. Seems like WB won't ever fix it.

I finally made it through the set. Great picture and sound.
My player wouldn't recognize the Season 3 Episode 10 disc, so I'll have to try to track down another player to see if it's the disk or the player (I'm betting the disc).
It was great to see the whole series over a week or so rather than the original 8 years. Easier to keep track of what's going on and who is who. I just wish Sansa Stark didn't look so much like Boy George. I found it distracting.

I also got through the series sometime in August after binging over a month, near-daily. And I was impressed with the picture. Some of those streams in later seasons watched first time round were obviously so revelatory on these UHD discs. Truly like seeing it fresh and the shadow range of HDR impact even made the plots of 7 and (moreso) 8 more bearable.

Having had up to season 5 only on BD before I looked to wait for 4K releasing, this was a real treat. Highly recommend all seasons, again, including the unfairly maligned as being limited in nature Season 1 source.

Did anybody have any luck getting replacement discs for this set?

[JosieWales]

This set is on for a good price today on Amazon Canada. $169.99

What needed to be replaced?

[Kamelot121]

So everyone who bought it. I’ve been on the fence about this for ages, worth the upgrade from
Blu ray. I’ve got a Panasonic 820
And a LG OLED

I watched the entire set earlier this year and I believe it's absolutely worth the upgrade. And I was watching it on my backup setup (PS5, OLED55B9, and Vizio SB36514). Looked and sounded very good and I didn't experience any playback issues.

I wasn't planning on rewatching the series for a few years but I think I will be starting it again soon on my new setup. Should be a whole new experience on the 77C1 with Dolby Vision and beefier audio.

I already had the entire series, collected on Blu as they came out - and I still think this set was worth every stinking cent.

I've even learned to live with the stacked discs, since I have yet to be able to find replacement cases from a company that actually ships, LOL...

I've been working through (backwards, by season, actually) and watching a few episodes at a time, a couple of nights a week. I'm working through Season 4 now. I just cannot believe how amazing it looks in Dolby Vision. It's just such a gorgeous show - heck, I even enjoyed the trip to Dorne, just getting to look at all the scenery and architecture and detail. It all looks so real, it's almost that 3D feeling like you can reach inside the screen.

The closest I have come to feeling that before was a dozen years ago when I first got a Blu-ray player and watched Lost in HD for the first time - where you just marvel at the scenery and just how lush and gorgeous everything is.

The only real annoyance with the set is that it defaults to the lossy soundtrack, so each time you fire up a disc you have to set it to Atmos. It makes no sense, because even if you don't have Atmos (like I don't) the Atmos still plays out as Dolby HD 7.1/5.1 depending on your set-up. In any case, I "solved' this but literally putting a sticky note into each season saying "CHANGE THE AUDIO" so I don't forget.

That quibble aside, though - I think they look spectacular. I was expecting a slight downgrade as I go backwards, but Season 4 looks as amazing to me as the later seasons. I've sampled the very early stuff, and even that looks impressive - though I'll reserve that judgement until I watch them more actively.

In any case, I can honestly say, dollar for dollar, this is the best value for 4K discs I have bought so far (got it on sale/with discounts for around $140).

Thanks for the feedback! It does sound like it’s worth the upgrade. I took a peek at the season 8 4k that I got on release
And the episodes looked gorgeous. Then dug out season 6 on blu and played that back and although it stilll looked great, you could really see the difference between the two!

Which disks needed replacing and how do we get them?

No discs need replacing. Some folks have had playback issues as a result of either smudges or scratches that may have resulted from the crappy stacked disc packaging, especially of the standard set.

[Gold Ranger]

Oh, okay

Echo what everyone else who weighed in said. It's definitely even a massive upgrade over the BD's if you have all, or like I? Just majority of seasons of those. The darkest episodes of the later seasons, especially, now look totally RIGHT. And impactful. The whole series was a pleasure. I felt so much more engaged by Episode 10 of Season 6. Still my favourite television episode outside the unmatched "Two Cathedrals" in TWW

Viewed in DV through an 820 and on LG OLED here.

This was only watched through in August and early part of Sept I think. And I already wanna throw S1 on again... Maybe slower series viewing this time!

[Batman1980]

I want to see it again also but it's so emotionally draining, even ending it before Khaleesi's complete descent into Targaryen madness. I'll probably wait till next year to watch it again, also in part so I can catch up on watching other movies and series and play more video games lol.
