[quote user="Dave"] If you're going to spend over 10K GBP on a TV (the BV7-40 here), then what is spending 18k GBP on a TV (the BV9 here) which is considerably better looking, bigger, a magnificent performer and without glitches? [/quote] As Elephant and I are only upgrading. ie. we are paying around £3K for the MKIII->MKIV upgrade

Are you sure? I was also told use PCM. Also, PCM is supported with the BS3! Bitstream is for poor TVs who can't decode their own audio. Do not use Bitstream!

[quote user="Dave"] I think you should get your cash back from the mistake of a purchase and invest in a demo/second life BeoVision 9. [/quote] I asked about this, but as the BV9 is way over £14K here, the most we'd get back from our BV7-40 MKIII would be £6K and we'd still have to find an additional £8K. I'd

[quote user="blue2th"] The 7-40 had a blu ray playing and the image looked sharp and good (not overly sharp). [/quote] Oh dear. This is the point I made in the other discussion. Just about ANY TV looks good when displaying a Blu-ray or something such as BBC HD. I compared the BV8-40 and BV7-40 MKIV with BBC HD this morning, at my dealers and

[quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] soundproof... some really good points raised in that post and I have often considered getting someone in to calibrate my BV7-40 (Mark III) [/quote] Guys, let's not get carried away here. Soundproof isn't talking about 'calibration' or fiddling with your settings on your TV. What he means is checking

[quote user="elephant"] Looked at a BV7-40 Mk III ... passed the TIMELINE tests Conclusion ? [/quote] To be fair, I don't think you can come to any conclusion when using the MKIII for tests as, in my opinion, it was generally fine (despite what 355f says). SD was adequate, HD was decent if not 'stunning' (but slightly below MKIV

[quote user="Puncher"] Is it just me or has the whole B&O TV range become an unforgivable (and very expensive) joke? [/quote] Weird thing is, I only realised that this happens on my BV7-40 when it was mentioned. In the scheme of 'issues that have gone wrong' it's so low down the list I didn't think it worth mentioning.

Yep, I used to get that on the BV7-40 MKIII. You need to switch to another source and switch back. ie. for me, I switch to V.MEM and then back to DVD2.

I don't know what they were doing. Part of me thinks that they don't think 'gawd, we've got to get *this* TV right after all the MKIII problems we caused' and they just concentrate on leveraging a Blu-ray player in to the internal mechanics.....even if that causes other (minor) issues, such as link-room audio delays. ie. it's

Two more BV7-40 MKIV problems I've experienced: 1) Blu-ray link-room playback causes the link-room TV to miss frames. Not significant, but does affect how you view a Blu-ray on a link-room TV. Sort of judders through the film. 2) The 'internal' Blu-ray player causes a significant audio delay on a link-room TV. If you manage to sync both
