Just read on the German Forum that the price (at least in Germany) will increase from € 10.540 (£ 7.383) to

€ 11.500 (£ 8.056) and that it includes the Beo5 instead of the Beo4.

I am just guessing, but I suppose it is going to be at the same price, but without the remote... Just an intuituion.

Oh and my dealer said to me that the Beo5 will be a contrained product (available through a waiting list) until the new BV7 is released.

My dealer (in Switzerland) told me today that its now available to order at the same price as the current version. He seemed pretty sure....

Petros,

I have no clue about how it will be controlled.

As far as I understood from my dealer, we can expect this module fairly soon (what ever that means!)

BR,
Lars.

However.he also told that B&O will come with a module for beovision 7 that converts the DVI conection into 4 HDMI connections. Both the audio and picture will be transfered in the HDMI cable and then the module will route the picture signal to the DVI connection and the audio to the digital audio in connection(s).
With this module you can still get HDMI connections to e.g. an beovision 7-32 MKIII.

This is something I've been waiting for... Does anyone have any more information? Is it going to be software controlled by the TV? (i.e. will it be switching automatically to the correct source?)

When is it coming?

Br,

Petros

"that contains the specs of their 2007/2008 models"

See they could just produce an inlet with updated specs. They have done similiar things before, for example with the MKII upgrade of the US BC2 that came end of 2006 I believe.

It still would be very nnice if they could manage the BV7 32 with a BS as a chassis. You would really get something for your money, even with a non full HD panel which wyou woudn''t need anyway.

I don't expect the release of the new Beovision 7 before spring 2008. But I am sure it will be worth the wait.

I expect the picture quality to be dramticly better, due to the use of another LCD panel, maybe even LED backlight used.

They would have to do something about the current chassis. That is too far behind. At the same time, I think the 32" inch can not get the BS3 simply because of pricing.

I think you could be right. I guess we'll know as soon as the new catalogue is released - that contains the specs of their 2007/2008 models, which will have to list the new specs of the forthcoming BV7-32. Should be interesting and only 3 weeks until we get to know..

They would have to do something about the current chassis. That is too far behind. At the same time, I think the 32" inch can not get the BS3 simply because of pricing. I am still surprised that they do that for the BV7 40 in Europe. What is a bit frustrating for me is, that I like to buy more B&O and start bringing my current system to the next level by adding TV. Have no space though for the 40" and I do not want the TV to dominate the living room to beginn with. I just don't want to buy BC2, BS3, BL7 and projector and then find that they introduce the 32" a bit later.

So I don't think the HDMI module will solve their problems. By the way, similiar hubs are already available form other brands. So the single DVI conenction is not the problem per se.

Hi,

I was told by my dealer that the beovision 7-32 will NOT come in an updated version with BS3; only the beovision 7-40 will come in an updated version with BS3.

However.he also told that B&O will come with a module for beovision 7 that converts the DVI conection into 4 HDMI connections. Both the audio and picture will be transfered in the HDMI cable and then the module will route the picture signal to the DVI connection and the audio to the digital audio in connection(s).

With this module you can still get HDMI connections to e.g. an beovision 7-32 MKIII.

Cheers,

Lars.

Crossing my fingers that this will happen and that they bring it to the US. That would be the TV I go for.

Great minds think alike. The 32" version would be great for me also. I hope B&O brings it to the US soon.
