[quote user="PhilLondon"] Hmmh.... That's a good news, but it brings a lot of questions... - Will existing Beo5 magically become 2 way with software upgrade? (that would mean the 2 way hardware is already present). - None of the existing TV, Hifi has an IR emitter, so, how will 2 way work?? Wifi from the BM5 maybe?? p. [/quote] Exactly

[quote user="elephant"] .... because this afternoon I placed an order for a BV7-40D ... (100Hz, Blu-ray, BD Live) [/quote] What a coincidence you feel valued! Hope you enjoy the TV. I am sure you will. Sometimes things just don't make sense in life; B&O increasing their prices for mediocre products in the middle of a recession is one

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="timhanna"] To make everyone's life easier, especially moxxey's, Ill bring a van and collect them all at once. This way you just need to deal with me ;) [/quote] How about the BL5s and BV7-40 for £3800? My address is forthcoming... [/quote] I'll take them off you for that now Chris

I also owned the BeoSound 2300 in the 90s and it was definitely called the BeoSound 2300 not a BeoCentre or a BeoSystem. It had CD and radio with the red digital display, the glass sliding doors and the small CD clamper. I bought it from Kingston upon Thames dealership then traded it in several years later at another. I am quite certain they did change

I have just counted and there are 64 CDs. I had about 100 more before but I copied them to iTunes then sold them on Amazon a couple of years ago so I could still get something back before CDs become redundant to the digital world. The one's I have kept are my favorites and they will used on the BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century and in the car! Simon

Well I certainly won't be paying any of the prices mentioned so far! I think I'll hang on until the Mark V and then, possibly, consider a trade in! £3,000, unbelievable. The Mark III is only 1 year old! Who would accept such a big loss? Even for £2,000 I wouldn't do it. Guess that means I am stuck with my Mark III. Probably best

If the price was £600 or thereabouts I might be interested.

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] I can't wait to see if there are notable differences when watching standard definition on the two sets. [/quote] I honestly don't think that will be any better. Indeed, it might be worse! LCD panels show every flaw 'as is' so we might see an even more improved HD

I think there are a few of us asking the same question, especially regarding the model you mention. I know the DVD module can be replaced for a newer Bluray module. Software updates are continually being released but to what extent they will actually improve picture quality, I don't know. I suspect version IV will have a newer Samsung LCD panel

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="koning"] Are there more things improved or only the panel?? [/quote] By 'panel' I mean the TV unit (not the stand, speaker and so on). Who knows if the LCD screen will be improved, over and above the 100Hz feature. [/quote] So what price are we looking at for this 'little' exchange
