David: Thats a really good point mate. Maybe this is a good time to come clean and admit that i don't own BL5's and that i made it all up from boredom. I'm really not worth the hassle! I'm weird! Stuff comes out of my head, not my mouth and i'm delusional half the time. I'm sorry, i'm the worst Beoworlder of all. half our

Barry: Beo5 Massimo: could you tell us in what way you would like to use your new TV? The difference between a 50" and 32" TV seems huge to me! In other words, are you looking for a TV which can offer you a stunning movie experience, or an up to date day to day TV (just like how I use my BeoVision 8 in the kitchen)?

David: PS that lady in the alarm clock photo is hot! Yes she is! Yes she is my friend! By the way, someone emailed me, but I accidentally deleted it before I read it, so I don't know who you are either! Sorry.

Ciao Massimo! Il tuo Inglese e senza dubio migliore del mio Italiano, ma mi piace di parle cuando poso! This is a difficult question to answer though. How badly do you want a 50" TV? Would it make such a difference to you if you just had a 32" instead? The next thing to consider is sound! The BeoVision 8 sounds fantastic in my opinion. However

The SMS messaging concept using the wheel seems ridiculous to me! I have used the exact same kind of thing with a special design project my friend was making at university. This involved an iPod-like touch wheel to enter in text, just in the same way as the letters appear on a circle on the screen of the Serenata. My friend decided to scrap the idea

Thanks for this info Martin

Sorry if I'm asking a silly question, but would I be able to plug a pair of normal A8s into the Serenata for music?

Well done Mobe! Good eye

I wouldn't say it's ugly, but I certainly agree with Mobe that the Serene looks much better! The Serene is very slique and stylish by design. And perhaps more to the point, there really isn't anything outstanding and NEW in my opinion. We can already buy a cell phone + MP3 device. The aluminium touch wheel is just iPod, and everything else

Wow it does look pretty big in that photo! The size of the screen seems out of scale with the rest of the device.
