Dave: I strongly disagree. Any manufacturer can make a rectangle, B&o have done the best anyone could do with a rectangle, and the new thicker frame looks SO much nicer - and in proportion to the screen as a whole. Time will tell who is right, but B&O (or David Lewis) has a history for designing things ahead of the times. Long live the new shiny

I am having a lot of problems with my 7-40 and i have desided that its either the BV4 or no B&O at all. What are your

Jez: 2) You'd have to buy the old old old Beocenter 2 to watch DVDs and it has no HDMI, component etc. It's nearly £3K for a basic DVD player. Superb design, but aged technology. You would just use the PS3 for DVD's. Im going to defend B&O a bit here! we must not make the mistake of believing that HDMI is higher quality- it is

Jandyt: Somewhere, I have seen a skeleton view of Beo5 but I can't seem to find it. I'm sure I remember seeing that it had four IR LEDs. Only two seem to be in use at the moment! Read into that what you will. When we asked about two way and third party products in Struer, we were given a sheepish grin and no comment. Well maybe one day, in years

As keith informed us the beo 5 can now control Lutron so I assume other appliactions are possible. I found my self frustrated by mine- it was only of any use at all thanks to a dedictaed member of this site. I just feel its a step back in time- it has a touch screen that isnt, it all feels a bit 'tacky' and in the drak ages compared to a pronto

Its interesting that this remark came from Samsung- who cant make a decent blue ray player to save their life!- maybe they just hope the format will go away as Sony and others make quality products and steal their market share!
