You should have waited until the November where B & O comes with BeoVision 7-40 "Full HD LCD Mk VI
which is a 100 Hz TV can work with 24p images from a Blue Ray HD DVD player.

Touch my face.

My wife and I will find out about the BV7, we just ordered one.

No, the darker picture is a characteristic of the LCD.

Could the darkness be a result of how the picture settings are adjusted?

Any opinion as to which is more clear?

Razlaw,

I am still contemplating that question, to be honest. But my greater point is that as a total product, I would rather have a BV-7 40-US/MK 3 than anything else in the family right now. It is simply magical.

As to the 'darker' picture impression, I got interrupted earlier, I see it as akin to the impression that the BeoLab 6000 has less bass than the 4000. At first it seems obvious, but upon further review, it becomes obvious that the 6000 simply presents the mids and highs so much better, and in better balance. As I stared at the Dave Matthews concert on the BV-7, I began to feel the same way, I think it is just possible that the 'darker' picture is a more balanced presentation.

Russ, does that mean you preferred the BV7 Blueray picture to the BV4's?

We didn't reinvent the wheel, we just didn't sell a wheel by itself and say it was a car.

Ohhh dear...!

The chips are by Pixelworks. BeoSystem 1 used Faroudja. We didn't reinvent the wheel, we just didn't sell a wheel by itself and say it was a car.

Would have us believe that B&O have reinvented the wheel

The may not re-invent it, but I garuntee you that there's a team working on the perfect manufacturing technique.

Interesting one this

So B&O use a good quality LCD- which is??
I was not aware that B&O make their own processing chips- please let us know the ones B&O use that are unique for the LCD panels like the bv8 for example??
It can't be a secret that B&O use Samsung LCD panels, or Matsushita Plasma panels. Anyone following along will have known that already.
I think Trip may have mis-typed here. B&O is even less likely than Apple to be fabricating their own chips. I would think that after careful research and development, in close cooperation with whomever the supplier is, B&O specifies software/firmware specs for the electronics to match their requirements. Much as they do with the OEM's for the speaker drivers. Nonetheless, that customization makes them 'unique', or 'custom' although not 'in-house'. No need to pick nits.
Just because Coca-Cola doesn't own the farms which grow their ingredients....

As to the original post.... I was in my local shop today, Father's Day shopping, and they are playing the Blu-Ray 'Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City Music Hall' on their BV-7 with a BL-7-2. Previously it had been on a BV-4. The initial impresson is that it's darker on the 7, and perhaps it is; but the picture is so clean, and smooth. Oh, and the sound? anyone else make a TV which can do that all by itself?

BeoBilly,
No, not in terms of picture quality. If you want to attribute our picture quality to anyone, you'd better mention our video engineers by name. By combining a good quality LCD along with processing chips, advanced light measurement, glare polarizing screen, etc. they've put together a full system that goes beyond what the original panel could possibly be capable of.
I think Russ' caramel comment is dead on (but didn't Coke used to have an even better secret ingredient? )

Trip, Trip, Trip....

That ingredient was never secret! It was replaced by caffiene about 100 years ago. More's the pity. But the 'secret ingredient(s)' remain closely guarded.
