When the new BV7 - 40" mk IV arraive in april with blu ray, does any one know if it can play all new HD sound formats incl DTS Master. Will it be a profile 2,0 so its can be opdatet over internet.

I know that it will be Full HD, 100Hz panel, but will it be 24p?

What can you all tell me about the new BV7..........

Based on recent history, I don't think you want an open door for Bang & Olufsen software to find a way onto your TV!

does any one know if it can play all new HD sound formats incl DTS Master.

very good question anyone??

So secret

No one dare comment for fear of sparking the BS3/BV7/HD audio argument again!

B&O have decided that future (high-end only?) BeoVision's shall be able to connect to the internet to receive S/W updates.

DTS-HD: BS3 works fine today as long as you have a bluray player that will decode the DTS-HD signal and pass it on as multi-channel PCM. Based on the spec's I've seen they haven't included TrueHD or DTS-HD among the BS3 sound formats, so I do hope that the new internal bluray will do the decoding and pass it on as PCM to the BS3 - anything else would be embarrassing for B&O.

wireless sw updates ? now that IS impressive

this tv looks like it might be the new avant !

Is still a samsung panel??!

Oh god, good point. As I'm assuming the existing drive is merely a drive with a scart-type cable to the main motherboard, I seriously doubt they are going to get a chip capable of decoding the audio then passing it to the BS3, in the new Blu-ray internal drive. Surely the drive would merely be a drive mechanism update?

Why? Well, it's a drive mechanism replacement for the existing BV7-40 MKIII (and only £400, which is 'cheap' for B&O), so there's no way you are going get True HD decoding built-in to a £400 internal player.

B&O are gonne kill them self if they dont start making up to date produkt

Im not gonna spent about 12-13.000 euro on a outdatet produkt, and i dont think im the only one

From what I heard they're switching to Sharp panels. I have this from what I would say is a somewhat good source.

Meaning not always right, but more often so than wrong :-)

That is definitely a step in the right direction ,was not impressed at all with samsung panel picture quality!!!

24p = Yes Mk III and MK IV got 24p support.

And moxxey it´s not a scart cable between the dvd drive and the motherboard. They use computer IDE Ultra ATA cabling..

And they are going to use Sharp panels in the new BV8-40 and the new Bv7-55, but the Bv7-40 MkIV they still use Samsung, but the new 2-4ms 120Hz Ultra Glare panel.

Samsung are far ahead Sharp in LCD technology, so i don´t think you should be disappointed because of that..

Regards

BV7 mk III does not have 24p.

Do you know when the new 55" BV7 are arriving?

The dealers have they already seen this new BV7-40 MKIV

Are the improvements huge?

The MKIII does have 24p, you just need the newest software update.

From what my dealer told me, the BV7-52" was put on hold due quality issues with the 52" panel.

I think you miss my point entirely. I have no idea what cable is used from the mechanism to the motherboard, but I do assume that there is no audio decoding done on the mechanism side (and that's the point). So, if they insert a Blu-ray mechanism, then this is unlikely to decode the HD audio before passing to the TV motherboard. It will have to be done by the BS3.

Unless I'm wrong - and I hope I'll be wrong - this would mean that the internal Blu-ray drive wouldn't decode the audio to the level of, say, the Playstation 3.

No, they simply use a ribbon cable. IDE Ultra ATA is merely a method of parallel data transfer, which doesn't mean it's similar in any way to the way the data is carried from the DVD mech to the BeoVision 7-40 chassis.

 Moxxey i understand you perfectly, but i just hanged up on the "scart cable - sound issue" sentence you wrote.

The dvd player is only a transport, and only read the information on the disc and then the motherbord´s onboard software and audio / video processor´s (DAC´s) decodes the picture and the soundstream.

And yes Alex it is a ribbon data cable, but not as wide as an IDE cable.  I just wrote IDE so people here understand what sort of cable i menth, but they look the same but thinner.
