I hope it is a complete overhaul. The idea of having the "sound pit" i get, and i see Sony have now introduced a stand that focuses the sound from the bottom in a similar manner. The BV 8-40 looks like something from a decade ago with its bulky boxy looks. Just because its the "budget" tv does not mean it need be ugly. This, like the Beosound 8 are the lower priced gear that should retain customers who neither can, or want a tv for £10-15,000.
I have said it before, and this could equally refer to cars that the more budget brands have really picked up their game and are hot on the heels of the so callled premium brands. Why spend £4,000 on a tv made in the eastern block that is aesthetically challenged, when more up to date models from Samsung say, are on sale for a 1/4 of the price and nice to look at to boot? Brand loyalty must be earned, and i have to say my new A8's are amazing.
A Beovision 10-40 in black and red fret on order, Beo4, Beo6, many A8's, a pair of white and yellow Form 2's, Beocom 4, 28 inch Avant RF DVD, Apple TV and a wife that loves this stuff as much as i do!

The BV8 is the most beautiful television ever made, when on its sculptural stand - not the new stand.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this one is simply outstandingly beautiful.
And even when just placed on a table or countertop, using its extendable small supports, it's an astonishing functional sculpture.

I got a white 8-32 in my kitchen, and I have never regret this purchase.
It looks good, picture is good and sound is very good.
There is something about B&O.....

I don't know if the Mk2 is the same as the recent US-spec Bv8-40 (which we got this last summer, if I recall correctly)...
However, if it is, I bought one about 3 weeks ago, and I think it is fabulous. It took me since the summer to talk myself into it... after all, it's 4x the cost for old technology - right?!?! WRONG. Forget the specs and the CCFL screen, just look at the picture! I could not find another screen that was even close (maybe it's because the showrooms do not calibrate their TVs). The colors are so very life like, and I have to really look hard (and stand right next to the screen) to find imaging artifacts with an HD signal. The SD looks pretty good too (sure, you can find artifacts all over the place, but show me what competition is better?). I watch a lot of American football, and picture is outstanding.
Now consider that you can integrate it with the rest of your B&O stuff, and have it control your STB and DVD player (yes, more TVs are doing this), and it's not a bargain, but it's not such a crazy price eit,her.
The TV that it replaced was a mid-range Toshiba that died after less than 2 years. I trust I'll get significantly more years out of B&O (I hope this is not misplaced trust, but if it dies in 2 years, at least it will still be under warranty).

I´m also one of them who like the Bv 8-40. It´s not as good looking in 32" i think but 8-40 has perfect proportions, I think. I almost bought one but ended up with a 10-40 because I wanted motorstand which I had on My MX. The 8-40 would have looked a lot sleeker in my home though
I hope the new version allows for the motor stand facility from the chassis. A table version, which was provided for the MX/LX and BV3 'main room' TV's would be particularly suited to the BV8 and improve its desirability as their replacement.

Lets really hope they come to their senses and releases it in WHITE. It is still to this date a mystery to me why only the 32inch was available in white.
I really love mine(32-inch) as a bedroom TV the white set is really discreet against white walls and really blends in. Picture and sound is more than enough for a medium sized bedroom.
Newbie! So far: BeoVision 7 40´ Mark V Blu-ray, BeoLab 7-4, BeoLab 9, BeoSound 5, Beo4, Beo5, BeoCom 2, BeoTime and A8 Earphones

Sounds great - can't come soon enough as I am contemplating an 8 - 40 v's a current HX900 Sony Bravia.
Any mention of updating the inbuilt surround processor to decode Dolby True HD or DTS Master Audio HD for Bluray?
Many thanks
John...
No-one ever regretted buying quality.

Hi John. I agree. I was seiously looking at a bv10 46 but I went with a nx810 in the end for a few reasons: no of hdmi, iptv and connectivity. I preferred the nx with powered speaker stand over the hx
If the bv10 had matched it on features I would have bought it. I put the remaininng money into another Jimmy possum sofa.
