Re: BV7-32 MK IV?

Thanks everyone for answering my questions. It is much appreciated.

It is really a pity if the new 7-32" will not have BlueRay. While it might be correct that you do not "need" BlueRay for a 32" screen, as there is no, or little, visible difference compared to SD-DVD, then that is the purely technical answer. Reasons why I think it is a pity if the new 7-32" will not have BlueRay, is more related to both future proofing and being able to have options.

I use BD as short for Bluray Disc, maybe I´m wrong.

Thank you, moxxey, for answering many of my recent questions. I appreciate that!

Do BD players produce good quality pictures from ordninary DVDs? As good as a DVD player?

By BD do you bean Blu-ray? Blu-ray players play SD DVDs in the same manner as a regular DVD. No difference. If I test a SD DVD on my PS3 compared to the BV7-40's internal DVD player, there's no visable difference in quality. Both upscale the image.

Why not a BD on the 32"? Because of the relatively small panel the opportunity for a projector in Full HD Quality would be nice.... Or maybe the smaller BS3 doesn't include the Cinema possibilities with the control of a projector.

Would be great to see the BV8 40" soon (with DD/DTS module)!
Any ideas on the selling price???

About 5000 €

Since the BV7 32" is so painfully behind I would think that we see the new version soon, maybe with the BV8 40".

I thought what we think will be the mini BS3 will just be a shared chassis to allow for a lower price point of TVs. It was rumored here that BV8 40" and BV7 32" will share the same.

I'll believe that when I see it - those specs make it better than the BV7-40 MKIII. No need for Full HD on a 32". I'm sure B&O aware of that, too.

They are not better, are the same. The BV7-32" will not be overpriced with this new specs. Instead, 40" version will include BluRay player, and it will be no overpriced as well...

BV7-32" MKV will arrive soon, with a BSy3 based chasis, DVB-HD (where avalible) and Full HD panel. Maybe in four months...

The BV7-32" MKIV is the current version of the BV7-32". The only diference with MKIII version is the LCD panel.

BV7-32" MKV will arrive soon, with a BSy3 based chasis, DVB-HD (where avalible) and Full HD panel. Maybe in four months...

No BluRay players in this version (MKV)

Hi,
I have seen BV7-32 MK IV being mentioned in some posts, but I haven't been able to find much details about the possible BV7-32 MK IV version.
I am in particular looking for answers to the following questions:
Will it have BlueRay DVD player built in?
Will it have HDMI connections? If so, how many?
Will it have the BS3 built in?
What is the difference between BV7-32 MK III and the BV7-32 MK IV?
When will the BV7-32 MK IV version be available?
Anyone who knows the answers to one or more of these questions? Thanks.

From what we know, it won't have a Blu-ray internal drive. There are doubts whether it will be a 1080p screen either. You just don't need 1080p on a 32" TV. You don't even really need Blu-ray.

Possibly 2 x HDMI sockets.

No-one really knows the rest. There's talk if a May/June release and a possible 'mini' BS3 included. I'm not so sure. The BV7-32 screen is *less* than the price of a regular BS3, so I don't see how they can include any kind of BS3.

I guess we won't know for a few more months, yet...
