Sandrikor:

Hmmm prolly Will phone my nearest B&O shop here in Greece and ask arround a bit asswell tommorow , well the 600-700 pound option sounds reasonable for an dvd / Blu ray upgrade ........well the remaining Question then is about the Sound formats what will be included in witch versions of the tv , and if u upgrade the dvd/blu ray will it be able to decode such as true hd etc. . . !

Which dealer will you go to? Glyfada? Will be interesting to see the differences between the euro and the pound for B&O. I found the two exactly the same from 2003-2005.

Wasn't £600 mentioned (I know £450 was originally discussed, then £700), but £600 was the latest figure from someone who asked their dealer recently.

And the next thing to think about is how much will it cost to upgrade the dvd player in the MK III to blue ray, any guesses?

They usually advise to sell it to Lifestyle AV or similar sites saying that they'll offer a better deal than B&O itself.

I tried that option. All I'd say is that you'd be better trying all options, before making a decision.

Central dealer in London usually refuse to take back products that are still being sold. (For example, they'll accept an Avant but not a BV7).

You can trade-up your BV7-40 MKIII to a MKIV (ie. give your TV back to your dealer and take the new model in return). However, that depends on whether your dealer will accept the TV! I contacted five dealers and two of them didn't want to take the MKIII at all, simply as B&O gave dealers a deal to get rid of the remaining MKIIIs.

I also found that the trade-in deal for the MKIII varied widely. One dealer could offer you far less than another. Ask around.

We're all confused about whether it decodes all the HD audio formats due to B&Os poor press release. See the other thread.

I think it is more about the player only... as that was announced a while ago by B&O. But I am not sure about the other features...

There should be an upgrade path for the BV7-40, but there will not be an upgrade path for the BV7-32...

BeoVision 7 Mk III / MK IV

Many things have been said about the beovision 7 mk iii and mk IV which is coming.....Well got some questions myshelf .

First of All Is A trade Option Avaiable if Someone Have MkIII To MK IV , About how much Will such a Trade Cost (Money Wise) .

Is It True That An Upgrade Will be avaiable To MK III To get A Intergraded Blu Ray player? If Someone Upgrade The MKIII for MKIII+ Blue ray Will that TV Be Able to Decode Dobly True HD And all the new Sound Formats ? Or Will be Stuck with a Blue rayplayer and ONly DTS Sound etc ?

About The MK IV I Suppose It will Support Dolby True Hd and all the new sound Formats?
