MorethanAV's website stocklist is showing a couple of brand new BV7 MKIV plus pre-owned stand and speaker for £7250 from June onwards! see picture below - yes, I know it's small

I would be suprised if there wasn't a noticeable improvement - Samsung will have released several generations of panel during the life of the BV7. Also their latest LED backlight models get very good reviews - I would be disappointed if the 100Hz didn't go at least some way to fixing the motion blur during football etc.

Of course you could just buy the Samsung TV

So what price are we looking at for this 'little' exchange?

Absolutely no idea. Dealer (you know who) won't commit to giving me a price. If they won't, I'll call around a few dealers. As it's a panel swap, it's an easy job.

BTW Simon, I have absolutely no idea if the MKIV will offer a visual improvement over the MKIII. I'm preparing myself for a disappointment, as I don't think it will be much improved.

If it's anything like the bv8 40 (and it should be the same LCD panel) then it will be a vast improvement, I saw the DVB pictiure on the bv 8 at the weekend and it was incredible, it was the snooker and looked very natural. I also saw SKY HD and an Xbox through the same TV and was very impressed, if this is the standard that has been set, my Avant might get changed yet!

Are there more things improved or only the panel??

By 'panel' I mean the TV unit (not the stand, speaker and so on). Who knows if the LCD screen will be improved, over and above the 100Hz feature.

When you say you are in for a panel update ... do you mean a new model update? How can just the panel be updated? Am I missing something? Is this a BV5 in disguise? They could get panel updates.

BV7-40 MKIII (which we own) -> BV7-40 MKIV (out soon). I don't need to update the 7.4, stand and so on. Just swap out the panel.

BV7 40 MKIV is available to order now as mentioned above, but in fact the price for this TV goes up on May 8th, apparantly there has been some confusion over the correct pricing at launch, so if you want your new screen at the current price you better get your order in before Friday.

Ah, thanks for the info. I'll see what I can do this week then.

Actually the TV will be around £6500 with DVD but of course..

Most people will need a speaker and some kind of stand. It's rare to see a BV7 on display at a dealer, without a stand. It's even more rare to sell without a 7.2 or 7.4.

Of course, the lack of a DVD will save a lot of money, but then we get in to another debate about the 'value' of a SD DVD at £1500 !!

It might not have been the norm so far but even B&O have been marketing the BV7 range as a tailored option on the main site, suggesting that you don't need the 7.x to have the TV, unlike when it was first launched when you had no choice.

I think they realised that some people may already have a sound system like bs3000 and bl6000 and therefore they will only need the TV and a stand option and even that doesn't have to be B&O because STB brackets make wall brackets, so it's only a point that there are other options and that the TV doesn't have to be 10K.

10k for a 40" lcd

is it april 1st again ??

Actually the TV will be around £6500 with DVD but of course you may require stand and speaker options and a remote control, depending on your existing equipment. But if you're starting from scratch with a table stand, bl4000's and a beo4 you'll still be looking around £9000 and if you choose the non DVD version it'll be about £1500 less.

@Flappo, your currency is in shambles. I used to pay 2$ per pound, not thats just 1.5 and I am guessing it is similar for the Euro.

Sony & Samsung probably just sit it out and catch up by not giving price reductions on components on to the consumer or you may see even a slight increase.

I would think it will stay like this for a bit so they have to do something.

Thinking about it, the BV7-40's price now makes the BV8-40 look like a 'bargain' !

No comments enough said in the past

how much is the bv8-40??
