Yes. They are good enough to be watched on a laptop screen (resolution-wise). Also, noone can take those away from you, since I own them. Currently, we (my girlfriend and I) have following collections (all seasons boxes): Star Trek Voyager, Stargate Atlantis, Scrubs, Lost, Futurama, Dinosaurs, My Name is Earl, Dexter, The 100 (1-4), Rick and Morty (1-3), a Bud Spencer Film Box, An American Dad Box as well as several additional seasons, and some more.

However, Compact Discs are reaching their lifetime, especially those who have been produced during the mid-2000s. More and more often these discs have playback issues (they suddenly can't be read), I even had one occasion where discs became brittle, despite being from a brand new box that never before had been played, so they completely shattered when I tried to remove them from the box.

We are downloading some of the box collections (especially those that are damaged) as .mp4 files to store them on a portable HDD drive, because nothing lasts forever.
