I'd like to see the surround sound module in all the TV's updated to be able to decode DTS HD Master Audio, and Dolby True HD; quite why this has not been implemented yet is a mystery to me... John.... (waiting patiently for the 8-40 to be updated thus...)

[quote user="Doctor"] I must confess that although I like the thought of all B&O being made in Struer , the reality has long been that large parts of the products have been bought in and only the final assembly has been in Denmark. All TVs have long been made from Far Eastern parts, much of the electronics are assembled in China, and very

I would agree that a larger TV, i.e. 52" or thereabouts, needs LED backlighting with local dimming.

[quote user="Stan"] In what aspect(s) do the LED LCD panels excel? What should I look for when comparing the BV-8 vs. a newer technology panel.
