joeyboygolf: Apparently the latest 40in offering is not suitable for the former types of individual unless.. It isn't, you're right. I switched to watching BBC1 on the DVB-T and it was very pixelated. Worse than the old analogue signal on my BV7-32. So, you really need Sky minimum to use the BV7-40 MKIII. Sky SD channels are the bare minimum

Hi Beolab, It's aluminium, like my previous BV7-32. As the floor stand is so silver/chrome, I think the black TV doesn't work on the stand. I can't find this 'remaining opportunities'. I saw your post about this to The Beonic Man, earlier last month, but couldn't find it in the menu. Pressing the red button (twice) + go, results

Dave: Lets just face it, B&O LCD's don't make much sense just yet! Haven't seen the new BV7, but it is still a right rip off if you already have a B&O CRT. To be fair, LCD technology is solely dependent on the source, as I've noticed since receiving my BV7-40 MKIII, yesterday. Sky HD and blu-ray DVDs generate superb pictures

The BS3 is built-in to the BV7-40, so you can't 'see' it in any way. So, the HDMI sockets etc are built-in to the back of the TV (and hidden away). As far as I know, it's the same as the standalone version - supports the same codecs etc. Thank god, testing Last Samuari blu-ray and it looks absolutely superb. Definitely only an issue

It doesn't (translate to LCD). Look at my thread about my new BV7-40 MKIII. 300 looks dreadful (!) on both SD and blu-ray, whatever the source. Oh-oh. It shows that LCD really does show any flaw in the source.

DiaBandO: Hi Chris, Thanx for sharing!! What a great way to start 2008 whith such a lovely TV. Can you tell if your TV has a 100 Hz panel. Someone on the Dutch forum claims that the 100 Hz panel is already present on the MK III and that he has one. My dealer tell's me that this is not possible. No, as far as I can tell, it's not a 100Hz panel

Alex: A relatively recent DVD with a BeoCenter 2 and BeoVision 9 will fool you into thinking you're watching an HD signal - stunning picture! Alex, not in my tests. I have the same SD and blu-ray DVDs (300, Layer Cake etc) and the blu-ray editions are way better than the SD equivalent. The SD DVDs, upscaled, look a bit washed out and you can definitely

Morning, Finally received my new BV7-40 MKIII yesterday morning and it was connected up to my BL2 and the 7.2 speaker. I'm not going to write this as a review, more of a synopsis of my initial thoughts on the TV. Most of you will know, I had a MKI BV7-32, connected to Sky HD. I was fairly impressed with the picture using a HD source, and still am

I can categorically say it's not the same TV. My brother owns a Samsung 32" 2007 model and it's terrible. Watching F1 on a sunny day, the TV struggles to handle the shine from the track/car and it looks more like it's pouring with rain. When watching football, there was obvious blur around the ball, when it was kicked around the ground

kawo: I doubt that a SW update will allow to take advantage of the new audio codecs as HDMI 1.3 is needed. As far as I know the BS3 is not equipt with those. Is that true? I've just bought a HDMI 1.3 cable for my forthcoming BV7-40! I had assumed the BS3 (in the BV7-40) would ship with HDMI 1.3 support?
