vlohjr1,

I`m in the same "trouble", but for sure I will wait till I´ve seen a least some pictures of the BV11.

Would the bv11 be 3d compatible?

I am thinking of upgrading to 740 but I might wait now

Koning,

is there a huge differnce between the 8-40 MKI with 100hz and the 8-40 MKII with 200hz?

Heribert,

I never understood why some guys blame the 8-40 for its poor design and its plastic rame and always repeat "it is not a real B&O product". From the moment I saw the 8-32 in the shop I loved it. First bought the 8-32 and later the 8-40.

I don't know,because i have not seen them next to each other.

It's a beautiful tv

Roger,

thank you for your information. Please keep us up to date. I think you have some secret sources and they can you something.

I would not be surprised if pictures are circulated in September, but would expect B&O to keep a lid on it till the launch date. I would not be surprised if the BV 8 is the model that is "replaced"... The 7-40 may go, but the 7-55 will be around for some time - especially with the coming screen (3D): making it to B&O spec made it so expensive that Samsung will not offer it in their line-up (according to a source in Struer).

Do not think so. The BV8-40 is in my opinion the best value for money you can get from B&O these days. Great Picture, great Sound. In my opinion better than the BV10.

Roger:

It is always difficult to base a purchase on "speculation", but I guess it is obvious that the 7-40 will be dumped in the not to distant future. The 10-55 will sell for less, and the new BeoVision will offer the same picture quality for even less. If you like the 7-series and/or find the 10-series a bit dull, then you will like the new model - but not much new "thinking" when it comes to materials, they stick to the metal they know the best.

Sh.t, did i buy the BV8-40 mkII to soon?

Roger,

after your update, I think I will postpone my Beovision purchase and keep the 8-40 for some months. Thank you.

Otherwise I`m sure, I will kick myself in the ass if I have spent lots of money for a 7-40 and a view month later B&O releases the new BV11.

Any information regarding the frame material/design???

Price of 10-46 in Uk is simple crazy! In Italy list price ALL INCL (Anti contrast screen and DVB-T HD is 7.768,00 Euro (6.800,00 GBP)

hotknife:

but for a Loewe Individual incl. sound projector you are roughly in same price area as B&O.

Are you sure? The 46" I was looking at, with the stand and centre speaker was about £6K. I'll check again, but I'm sure it was far less than the BV10-46 (which is about £8900).

Good news on the BV11. I'm in no rush to buy a new TV, so let's all wait.

Re: Beovision 7-46??

Roger — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 04:19:38 GMT

The digital platform will be introduced at the dealer convention in September. It will be the same platform across the range, but with added functionality (at a cost) based on the model selected.

The BV11 is said to be 2x the cost of the top-of-the-line from Philips or Sony, taking it right back to where the Avant was with respect to the competition. The entry level model will be less than 20k DKK - so the new price policy should be more in line with the old MX and Avant range compared to rest of the market.

I belive the BV10-55 will be based on the current platform. Not sure what will happen with the BV7 range...

Yeah, I'd hold off on buying a Loewe. Let's all meet back here in a few months and re-evalutate.
