bayerische: Sure there are always people with too much money.. There aren't many of these people around - they tend to be Premiership footballers and lottery winners. Most people who have worked hard to make their money tend to know how to manage and spend their money wisely. They might also have 'too much money', but are also less likely

Carl Sheerman: A lot of people already have blue ray in one form or another. In times past B & O would take the lead now they seem to be playing catchup all the time now. In many ways you are correct (the BV7-32 is a good example). In other ways not so. For example, how many TVs do you know that ship with a Blu-ray drive? Secondly, B&O lag behind

PhilLondon: TripEnglish: The Blu Ray module is available for retrofitting to all existing MkIII BeoVision 7s. BV7-40 MKIII, but not BV7-32 MKIII we were told... What's the truth? Correct. There's no real point of playing 1080p-based Blu-ray on a non-HD screen. They'll be little benefit over and above a standard definition DVD on the same

mhoutman: your info is based on rumours i think i tend to believe them or is it just my wishful thinking As I said, talking to your dealer is the best way to secure information - they don't tell you rumours. If they know a new BV7-32 is on the way, it's on the way! The key point is that you can't buy the new BV7-32 right now and, if it can't

mhoutman: ...based on unconfimed rumors ? What do you expect? B&O to confirm a release date of a planned model? Although they hint and discuss their plans with their dealers, they're not likely to let their customers know of all their forthcoming plans, are they? Thus it will be unconfirmed. However, ask a mainstream B&O dealer and they'll

seanklemis: Hi All I know 5.02 has the link room problem but has anyone noticed that controlling the sky box is slower than before, sometime i press the numbers for a channel and wait 4-5 seconds before it starts and other times its fine???? No, but I have noticed that my BV7-40 has turned off my Sky box, three times, whilst watching TV. Happened over

9 LEE: My own opinion about LCD is the same as everyones. The Mk1 was garbage for sport, Mk2 better, but they have almost nailed it with the Mk3. I'd say 3-5 years and LCD will be every bit as good as CRT. Is that 3-5 years for B&O or LCD technology? :) I'd guess the former? I think the BV7-40 MKIV should be near perfect for my requirements

timhanna: Personally, it doesnt bother me much; worse case is that you just have to wait 2 years or so down the line and upgrade the LCD screen (not the TV) for a new one. I'd agree. Doesn't annoy me at all - I'm used to it. Also, it's much better than my old MKI BV7-32. By far.

Alex: Do you get that on all sources or just on HD or SD? I must admit I've never actually noticed it when watching any BeoVision 7-40 mk3, but I do see some juddering during fast motion. It happens on both and it's more obvious on HD. It's an LCD issue (and a 50Hz issue). However, it *is* definitely better with the MKIII than previous models

Alex: Check with the dealer whether it was a mk2 or a mk3! The mk2 does smear a little, whilst the mk3 doesn't at all Yes it does. It's quite clear on fast-moving football, for example. Ok, it's no way near as bad as my old MKI BV7-32, but it definitely does 'smear' slightly. There's a far bit of blur around the ball as the scan
