The samsung does have a tiny frame. But whats more important to you? The frame or the quality..... Also, i advise you listen to the speaker system in-built in the samsung, you will soon make your mind up! :-)

The last film i watched and said wow? The King's Speech of course! A masterpiece!

The main board is in the display. The ball only houses the keypad and battery

[quote user="DoubleU"] [quote user="TripEnglish"] and the stand is the BeoLab 7 table stand (which would mean that the BV7 is on a wall bracket). [/quote] It's a fixed table stand for BL7 + BV7. [/quote] Agreed

As above, i can confirm this is a BV7-40 on a fixed table stand (fixed table stand not available for BV7-32) and is the version without blu-ray/DVD. Intrestingly this stand also fixes the position of tilt!

Unfortunatly you must have entered the PIN incorrectly into the BV7. The TV will show WAIT and switch off unless the TV is left in standby for 4 hours (switching it on resets this count). It will then allow you another attempt to put your PIN code in. Good luck

Most Bang & Olufsen TV's will shut themselves down after a while if the have a fault. They do this to ensure no further damage is caused to the television. I would recommend getting your dealer to look at i for you.

What about Nottingham? A long running dealer, im sure they will have great service for older equipment!

The lights went from red to white when the MKIII was released. The MKIII version also introduced the BeoSystem 3 chassis. The MKIV was released as the same TV but with the addition of 100Hz screen and a built in Blu-Ray player rather than standard DVD. T

The BeoLink actives need a software upgrade to recognise the A.AUX command. This is done by an exchange circuit board rather than a chip or flashing it from a laptop. Your local Bang & Olufsen dealer will be able to do this for you and you will probably be looking around £150 per active i think.
