Alex: As Peter has said, it's not an issue with the hardware, but a software issue in the TV. Wait a bit, and if the BeoSystem 3 is anything to go by, the BeoVision 7-40 should be stunning even with SD. With the LCD development I have been involved with we have been unable to resolve the issue regarding poor SD quality. If it was a basic software

Dave Moulton: I suggest you consider swapping out the 7.1 for a 7.4, which should integrate very nicely with the BL5s. As mentioned earlier in the thread, a BeoLab 9 is also viable. A BeoLab 3 would be OK (I think!) at moderate levels, but would quickly be taxed by the BL5s in action scenes - I'm afraid this might be quite audible. The more listening

moxxey: I don't think the market is stagnating as much as people feared. In the UK, most of the people I describe above make money from the rental market, rather than selling property. My landlords are classic examples. Aged between 45 and 50, eight apartments in Bath, bought for around £50,000 each around 15 years ago, all rented, and their

Its true to say that many individuals would not buy BnO and rather interestingly that includes many former customers who bought the products because they offered ease of use and were aguably the best- in the avant days. Now many are amazed by the pricing and simply wont entertain the costs now involved- the arguments about ease of use and quality dont

CraigB: Quick bit of back ground here before diving into the question. The panasonic Digi-box my Grandads been running on his BV7 (I think MK1? Purchased 04/06) has given up and died. This being the second one I called sean at the Mailbox to see if there were better alternatives. Sean advised me to look at Humax or the B&O DTV (thank you Sean for

Gerd: New SW 4.0 for Beosytem3 was released on 14-12-2007 with service tool v1.85f ! What does this offer over 3.1 please

Beolab: soundproof: I think one should cut 355f a little slack. He is very positive on the BV4 in combination with BeoSystem 3, considering it the best processed plasma image to be had now. That's not being on a crusade against B&O. He is critical of B&O LCD connectivity, more than of image quality. And then I think he and Beolab have a

Beolab: 355f: Beolab: The thing with the new Samsung LED LCD is the black level not the brightness level! The Samsung F96 can dim or even turn the LED lamp off.. = Zero black... The F96 consists of 400 LEDs and the processor have full control of every one! So the brightness level are the same as on average LCD with 500cd/m2.. I experienced it yesterday

Beolab: 355f: Beolab: 355f: Im sure its more of a case that one 'gets used' to the sound of a new speaker rather than any actual changes that take place. There might be a little argument for this with high powered bass drivers where they can sometimes be very tight because of gthe loadings involved but in tyhe case of the little paper drivers
