Yeah,

I like my BV3 too !

But i would like a full digital platform ( with mediacenter...) and i think the BV8 is a good substitute.

Chrisreunion:

Talking about whiteline, did you notice that the latest catalogue showed a white BeoCom 2?
I find the white BV8 quite nice, but it's a shame that now I only focus on the black sensor on the top right corner...at least in black you didn't see it!
However it makes me sad too to see B&O becoming something like the "Apple/Mac follower", almost 20 years after stopping whiteline products, 2-way communication and wheels on remote controls, most people think B&O is copying Apple and most journalists too...just like most teenagers think Madonna's "Hung up" is a pure modern creation until you tell them you danced on that Abba music long before them....!

We all know better then most people and journalists : Apple is copying B&O and not the other way around, that's enough for me !

every 20 years a certain colour return into fashion again; like car-colours [about 20 years ago everybode drove a white car ,somewhat later red was the hype and so on......] the main colours black/white/blue/red will always be stylish and of and on " In "

I like the white version esp. because it's different and minimalistic by design, but still prefer the black/alu version personally; in the end I will still keep my BV3 and enjoy watching it, both on and off because I suspect I'm one the few people who actually like the design of the TV as well.

Is it the pearly white like the old TV or is it a classic white painting like the white BeoSound 1 ?
The old pearly white looks very classy, the other a bit "cheap" isn't it ?

White like my former beosystem 6500/7000 would do quite nicely...

Shall I [re]paint my BS4 to white also ?

But seriously : I suppose the white can and will look great on this TV, but I have to agree with Karel : no BV8 for me because I still prefer my "old" BV3................

Would I love a 40" with the possibility of a sorround module...

Hey, Karel,
You still got your BV3 ?
Isn't it time to change for a BV8 ?

IF it would have had a better picture than my BV3 and a surround module then I would have made the jump... But in this case: nope...

But I love the design of the BV8! (in black :-) )

very stylish; I like it [ a lot] to complete it with a shiny chroom foot or plain brushed alu one ; at least this flat screen will look less like a "big black hole on the wall".............

Phoned my local(ish) dealer earlier (B&O of Exeter) and he tells me the white BV8 will be on display in 2 weeks.

I love it when they pick up things from their past! BV8 is with this Whiteline definitely the replacement for LX (and MX).

This is great news! I like this very much. Finally my parents can replace their LX 2500 whiteline! I have to say that, like David, I regret the black corner. What is hiding behind there anyway? Just the IR eye for the remote or something else as well. Isn't in possible to move that stuff behind the speaker grill? Then you can have the frame all white. Of course, the BV8 is already in production and it's too late to change that now, but it's just a thought. Wonder what you think.

Am I the only person that doesn't like how the BV8 looks?
