I met a bloke at a crossroads once..............

General Guide based on research by the BBC.

csmager: Except for the fact that 126.9cm is 50". I suppose they could have merged two specs together! The external dimensions given are 1061 x 651 which would give an outside diagonal dimension of ~49".

I believe the specs. published on Beoworld's product pages are for an (older) 42" panel driven by a BS2.

Is it work mentioning again at this point cheap, plastic TV's with stickers and blue LED's

Alex: Streamed content isn't going to work for me at all - my internet runs at 0.5mb at the best of times! Some of our neighbours still can't get broadband. Same here - you have to make the most of it by not downloading cr4p

Jandyt: Why did you watch it Puncher? Where you one of the 8,000,000 that voted last night? Gunpoint mate! (I did call her bluff and prevented her voting)

Will there be photo's posted from those that were there??

Any reason why you haven't considered the BV8??

Alex: No, the quality of the pre-amps will not be as good, as the volume scaling will be handled by Windows' own sound-system, which also doesn't allow pass-through. Assuming Beomedia is based on Windows Media Player and assuming your external DAC has ASIO drivers then you can bypass the windows mixing system (using an ASIO plugin for WMP) and
