"Just got my Game of Thrones full box set in and while watching the Blu Ray I’ve noticed season 7 episode 2 isn’t full hd instead it’s 1680x1048. Why is that? Everything else is full 1080p besides this episode. I’m using MakeMKV and handbrake. All episodes are full 1080p besides the one mentioned. Anyone else have this issue?" - Posted by u/imJGott on Reddit.

Game of Thrones series is adapted from a novel named A Song of Ice and Fire, first published by award-wining author George R.R Martin in 1996. The name of TV adaption is inspired by the title of the first book in Martin’s series.

Back to 2019, HBO released GOT completed series Blu-ray, which contains all 8 seasons of GOT as well as 2 bonus discs. Even though the Blu-ray set provides a digital copy code to redeem on iTunes, Vudu and Google Play, people may still need access to playing the TV series on any other devices such as tablets, mobile phones.
