The PS3 can convert the DTS HD to PCM 7.1 via HDMI, allowing the user to play the 7.1 soundtrack on a Beovision...

Concerning quality, I have not seen something better than a PS3 on a 2,5m large screen when choosing a player (in fact you almost cannot detect any difference in image quality between good players), so I must admit that I would be a bit surprised to see any visible difference between the BV7 and a PS3 on its 40" screen!

raveny:

what about the version without Blu-Ray? Does it also come with 100 Hz?

Yes, absolutely. It will share the same LCD panel.

Re: BV7-40 MKIV specs?

mbee:

So if you want the best sound possible, choose a BV7 40 Monitor and add an external player (PS3 for instance, you get the game bonus!)

No, the PS3 is no better than the internal player. Also, I read that the PS3 is now fairly average compared to the most recent and modern Blu-ray players. ie. the picture quality is not regarded as the best on the market. Perhaps the internal player may be better than the PS3 for this reason.

martin01 — Wed, 13 May 2009 07:35:52 GMT

What about Dolby True HD, will that be converted to Dolby Digital just as the DTS-MA will be DTS?

Re: BV7-40 MKIV specs?

mbee — Wed, 13 May 2009 07:09:02 GMT

And more important : DTS HD/DTS HDMA 7.1 will be converted to 5.1. So if you have a 7.1 setup, avoid the integrated player...

Re: BV7-40 MKIV specs?

mbee — Wed, 13 May 2009 07:03:38 GMT

@Martin01 : That's not what B&O said :

This is an integrated player, so it's only a reader like those you can find in a PC. So the player itself doesn't decode anything!

If you buy an external player, you can do that (decoding the DTS HDMA in your player and sending the decoded signal in PCM 5.1/7.1 to your B&O system.

If you buy a BV7 blu ray, the DTS HDMA will be decoded only as DTS, because DTS HDMA is backward compatible. You will get a very good DTS sound, but not the real high definition soundtrack.

So if you want the best sound possible, choose a BV7 40 Monitor and add an external player (PS3 for instance, you get the game bonus!)

Re: BV7-40 MKIV specs?

martin01 — Wed, 13 May 2009 06:34:46 GMT

The decoding of the HD-codecs, such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD will be done in the player (not in the Beosystem 3). That means that the player will send the decoded sound as digital Multichannel PCM-stream to Beosystem 3.

Sound wise the Blu-ray player in BeoVision 7-40 supports the following formats: Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital + 7.1, Dolby Digital True HD 7.1, DTS 5.1, DTS HD 7.1DTS HD Master Audio 7.1, LPCM 7.1. Blu-ray discs with DTS HD 7.1 or DTS HD Master 7.1 will be decoded as DTS 5.1

B&O has just announced the BV7-40 Blu-Ray on its website:

The impressive BeoVision 7-40 LCD TV from Bang & Olufsen is now updated with an integrated Blu-ray player, 100 Hz picture technology and a DVB-HD module, thereby enhancing the extreme flexibility of this TV concept.

More details under the news section there..

Scud:

Am I right in saying the only two updates are the new 100Hz planel and the blueray player?

Also did someone previously in this thread say they upgraded their panel to the new version? can that be done?

Panel itself cannot be upgraded - what moxxey meant was that he upgraded his BV7 MKIII to MKIV i.e. the whole TV (but kept speaker, stand etc).

Oh Bum..lol..

Have you seen it then Moxxey?

Any idea on the picture over the MkIII and does The Mk IV have the new sound board in it?

Anyone have any Idear????

Unfortunately it's green with the MKIV. Doesn't look good either. Wasn't too impressed.
