I'm glad that I'm going to be one of the first to have the new BV 7-40 Mk III in Sweden/Stockholm :)
I have the BV 7-40 Mk II today but i am not so happy with it sadly.. So i ordered the new one today that means I'm going to have two BV 7-40 for a wile..=)

Now to my question: which color should i go for?
Dark Grey (Titan finish) Black or plain aluminum (silver)??
I have ordered Dark Grey but i can change my mind if i wont.
Best Regards Fredrik L

That B&O did not include it in the first Beovision 7 was their own stupid dissicion. HDMI was already there! Now a lot of customers are stuck with the connection trouble! You may expect much more from a premium brand for a premium price.

Back when you originally stated the lack of HDMI was an issue, it was not. However, it has been an issue since companies have started taking up the new standard much more quickly than B&O could react without doing things properly.

I was the first ever on this forum who was very worried about the lack of HDMI by B&O. People made fun out of me in the past when I mentioned the case.

Pity for the current owners to see how right I was.

Go for the dark grey! It's really beautiful and stand out of the crowad os black+alu plastic TV's you see everywhere. And the best is that it will be the perfect match for your furniture!

Roger:

This is my opinion:
The black 7-40 is very nice, but it must be placed where it will be hit by natural light - this will make the black alu stand out from the plastic and glass. Place it somewhere dark and the alu parts will look like they are made out of plastic.
The dark grey is eye catching, but perhaps mainly because it is "different" - at least to BeoWorld'ers that have seen one to many silver BV7 already.
The blue one isn't bad, but the red one is a hate/love color IMHO.
The natural alu edition is perhaps too common, but it will match any cabinet, speakers, stereosystem... and integration is the key here, even when it comes to colors.
Will it be shipped in September?
Roger

Hm you have a point there! I like the dark grey stand alone, but i wouldn't buy dark gray BL8000:s.

I'm a Little tierd of the silver color so i think I'm going for Dark gray after all..=) I think the dark gray looks more modern. Its looks more full HD high tech than the silver/alu..

Yes the shipping date is set to moddle/late september..

Regards

Beolab:
Beside does two artefact's i mentioned i think the BV 7 MK II are one of the best High-End TV:s ever made!

I agree and agreed in the original discussion. If I watch a HD movie through BBC HD or Sky HD, I often think 'surely the quality can't get better than this?', and yet this is through my old MK1 BV7-32.

However, this doesn't meant that I'm completely satisfied. DVDs are too dark and I want HDMI sockets. So, for these and other reasons, I'll also upgrade my old BV7-32, too.

Hej Fredrik
I'm also going to replace my BV740Mk2 - it has been fantastic but there are some annoying things. The lack of HDMI-input have caused some serious cable clutter. When will you get yours - strangely enough my B&O store hasn't even heard of it yet :-( Sounds like things are better in Stockholm. What's the price?
/Munin

They dint no the price jet, you can only order it. But they think about 5000:- Swedish Crowns more. So with stand and Beolab 7-2 or 7-4 the price will land on about 115.000:- Swedish Kr.

Best regards Fredrik L.

Moxxey: I was just a little bit angry because not a single person in here have congratulated me for my purshase...(MK II) I just felt that everyone just came up with bad things about the BV 7-40 MK II instead.. I mean if you want to say negative things you can put it in a nicer tone..
I seem to remember that thread. I got the feeling that people were simply warning you that a new generation of BV7 was coming along -- as you were buying a MKII so close to the date when the change was due. ... don't think people were looking for bad things to say.

Back to topic friends!
