The Big thing currently missing in all of B&O's TV's, considering they can be used as a processor for AV duties via an inbuilt module, is compatibility with the latest Dolby and DTS Home Theatre codecs - i.e. Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio.  

Considering the audible and beneficial increase in audio performance of these lossless compression formats, and that they are a standard in the industry, along with Bluray for Home Movies which is both designed to be, and is in fact fast superseding DVD as the premier AV software for movies, it is lamentable that B&O have not seen fit to update their AV sound modules from the earlier and inferior DD or DTS lossy compression formats.

Certainly given the expense of any B&O TV, and where one would like to gain the advantages of simplification re the box count by having DD & DTS decoding built into the set, it is a serious oversight in my view - certainly one that makes me hesitate to buy a B&O TV unfortunately - much as I want to buy one on aesthetic and performance grounds.

If you are listening B&O, this is one of the areas where you need to address product shortcomings in my humble opinion.

Thanks BF and Trip

I'll look into it. I don't have art on my walls (I consider it a dust trap), but both ideas are worth looking into.

just buy a projector with a motorised screen

i bought one recently , an optoma 3d , very discreet , quiet and amazing quality

plus when you turn it all off it disappears

relatively cheap too , probably quarter the price of a bv7

THe idea was to not have stuff on the wall, so a motorised screen wouldn't really cut it. However, my walls are white.

What's keeping me back is the question of speakers, especially the center speaker. I need to figure out which solution would work the best, and which solution would be viable considering I'm not a movie buff, and don't have the slightest interest in surround sound.

This is a cool solution (disregarding the lack of a center speaker):

That looks really cool. You know that usually COOL=VERY EXPENSIVE.

Regarding the speakers the ones mentioned by Trip are by far the most discreet. Also the new Beovox 2 are less discreet but very nice.
