I was searching for old TV shows in DVD format and discovered region free DVDs at substantial discount. Shows such as Mission Impossible and It Takes a Thief were about half the price of NTSC region 1 disks available at Amazon and Deep Discount. Does anyone have experience with these Region Free DVDs? Is picture and sound as good as Region 1 Dvds?

Where did you get these? The picture and sound can be just as good. Are you in the US? Are these meant for US or out of US distribution? Its possible that these may be gray market.

The llink below is one of the sights selling these DVDs. I agree they must be gray market.

...assuming you're in North America, some of these DVDs may not be NTSC standard - they may be PAL - so even though they're region free you'd need a DVD player that converts PAL to NTSC.
I haven't purchased any of the shows you mentioned, but I have purchased some TV productions in R2 PAL (my player converts and is region free) and the quality is often excellent.
Question "Authority", the mainstream media sucks - Go Independent and hold BOTH parties accountable instead of just the other guys!

Surprisingly, a lot of the super cheapies do. But my Pannies don't do PAL> NTSC, at least not out of the box. And that's true of many other high end players as well.
If you ask at a big box store about the deature they look at you like you've dropped from Mars.
A DVD player or a TV who convert to ?
...can't/don't display PAL (or SECAM for that matter). Unlike the rest of the world.
So we need the conversion in our players.
