>>Take a product like the BeoSystem 3. If I were Bang & Olufsen, I wouldn't keep trying to describe the picture engine inside as a number of features, I'd sell it as its own outboard box and market it as a fully formed device. If you care about picture quality, add it in<<

I thought about the same some time back. If options are a problem, at least thy should come out with a Mini BS3, maybe no scaler, just surround and a cinema module. I have to say when watching DVD on my BV8 I am at peace without one.

I am more a music junky then TV and it didn't really make sense to me to spend 15 to 20K on a TV. That said I hope the BV8 will do well in the US so that they may increase activity in the bottom segment.

Cheers
