    BV7 BluRay

    There is a thread on the German forum about BV7 and BluRay. It appears to say that a BluRay is now available and that it can be retrofitted to existing BV7s. Anybody able to translate the thread correctly and/or have any other info on this?  Thanks!

    My german is not brilliant,but the last post appears to be saying that nothing official has been heard,and that it appears to be a poor joke.

    Re: BV7 BluRay

    I don't think (or at least hope) that this is a joke as my dealer in Germany just confirmed this to me....

    Yes, me. :)

     The BeoVision 7-40 Full HD is blu-ray-able! that means existing BV7-40 Full HD can be updated with a Blu Ray - drive as soon B&o releases it...end of the year? We will know more in September.

     

    And @ Karsten, this is no joke. Ask your dealer again... ;)

    Re: BV7 BluRay

    This is good news. Although my PS3 will play the Blu-ray DVDs, an internal drive would be a bonus. I was told that it might cost around £400 (without install), if anyone else can confirm?

    So, assuming it is true, which it appears to be as dealers are telling customers it is, it will still be awhile before it is actually available, or is it available right now?

    I heard a rumour about this too - I don't think it will be available at all on the 32" however, presumably because with viewing distances etc the difference between SD and HD is negligible on anything below around a 40".

    Re: BV7 BluRay

    From the German forum:

    Hier die offizielle Aussage von B&O:


    – gute Nachrichten!

    Der BeoVision 7-40 Full HD ist Blu-ray-kompatibel! Die Testserie in Struer ist abgeschlossen und war erfolgreich.

    Kunden, die sich bereits für einen BeoVision 7-40 Full HD entschieden haben oder noch entscheiden werden, haben somit die Möglichkeit, diesen zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auf Blu-ray nachrüsten zu lassen. Mit dieser Information können Sie den Kunden heute schon technologische Zukunftssicherheit geben!

    Alle Details hierzu inklusive Zeitplan werden in den kommenden Wochen erarbeitet und im Zuge des Partnertreffens mitgeteilt werden.


    Mit freundlichen Grüßen
