BeoSystem 3 has been on display in the US for about a year now, and connectivity aside, we are seeig much etter picture as compared to BS-1. Some of the artifacts associated with 'film mode' are better managed, and over all it seems sharper and cleaner. But that's what 5 years of R&D gets you I guess.

I'm told that the BV-7 will break cover here later this month...can't wait to see it in person.

Actually my local dealer has BeoMedia on his BV7 as i do and it works extrmely happily!! Also you are putting your BV7 in a slave mode which means you won't need the connectivity anyway as all the sources will be coming from the Avant master set. Its your choice but i dont want to see anyone pay upwards of 8 grand for somthing that could of done the same job for 6.

You don't work for B&O in Nottingham do you? If not you would make a great salesman.

It's like buying a new car realy.You wouldn't buy an end of the line BMW if you knew that in three months a newer model was coming out.

good point. I got my MK II BV7 one month before the MK III came out. At that time I did not know anything about beoworld and the dealer I bought it at did not tell me anything about the MK III (which did not make me happy, I've bought my stuff from another dealer since). I think the difference between MK III and MK IV will be even bigger, so I can only recommand once again to wait for MK IV

Beomedia?

It's like buying a new car realy.You wouldn't buy an end of the line BMW if you knew that in three months a newer model was coming out. I know that I don't want to connect a projector now but when / if I move house I will then have a choice of more options. It's a £6k TV I have to think ahead with such a large purchase.

Im confused? could someone please explain to me or give me an example of something they want to connect to BV7 with the SYS3 that they couldn't now? except for 7.1 surround sound or a projector screen which david dosent want to use anyway.

In fact scientificly speaking, you have to be closer than 1.9 meters with a 32" television before the human eye can tell the differance between 720 lines and 1080 lines. That supposing you have some 1080 material in the first place!!! so holding out for the new BV7 woulod be pointless.

IMO, the main argument for waiting for the new BV7 is not the new pannel, but the enhanced chassis, which will allow much better connectivity!

Tayne — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 06:07:02 GMT

Lets remember that there WILL be a price increase with the Bsys 3 chassis also

In what way will there be better picture and sound via the BS3? (In other words: how does the BS3 work?)

I think you will be well advised to wait for the new chassis, if this includes the BS3 built in, then you will benefit not just in picture quality but far better sound processing and if the same level of connections is presented as in the stand alone BS3 the 4 HDMI sockets are well worth having.

The new BV7 will have the Beosystem 3 master unit so it will have better connectivity. I know the Tv is only going in my second room but if I wait for the new model I can then have more choices when deciding where to place it when I move.

I think many people are still confused when it comes to hi definition television. The first thing to take into consideration it the veiwing distance of the television? I am presuming he would be sitting a fair distance from the television?

Tayne,

Don't you forget the full HD panel of the upgraded BV7?

Maybe worth the wait?
