I've got a MKV 7-40 and don't notice any white clouds at all in dark scenes just very very deep black levels, I also don't have the B&O logo appear anywhere!

Overall I am very impressed with mine! Had it a month now and love using it! The standard def quality is so go it is impossible to tell the difference between SD and HD unless you go up to the screen and look!

I guess as I dont have the B&O logo that you might be on later software? How long have you had yours for and do you get the logo when turning onto STB or only the Blu-Ray and DVB? As I get the clock for those but nothing when turning on to STB which is nice! 

Is the Mk5 panel still an edge lit LED one?

If so,then you may well be experiencing uneven backlighting.

No the MK5 although 200Hz still uses CFL LCD Screen.

Hi

Do you have the MK V (as in 200 hz)? The B&O logo appears in the newest softwareupdate (9.01) not 8.12a.

My MK IV panel had no trouble at all, and when i addressed my dealer with the clouding issue on my MK V panel he said that maybe that is just the way it is supposed to be (??)

I find that rather strange and therefore would like to hear from other Mk V owners.

Exactly my point. Since my MK IV was delivered, there has been nothing but endless flaws. So i got this Mk V panel update as a result of this, and it has actually made things even worse. Before i had a tv with humming noise and a lot of other flaws, but the picture was perfect. Now i got a tv without humming noise, but with a very very bad picture. 

To be honest my dealer has helped me a lot in this issues, so I am very satisfied with their help. Unfortunately, they also have to stand in line to get anything done in the Headquarters in Struer. My Prime dealercontact is on vacation at the moment, but when he returns i hope and know we will find yet ANOTHER solution.

My MKIV has all of these issues, but I've just learnt to live with them. IMHO if you go looking for them, you'll find them. As we spent so much money on our TVs, I think even minor flaws seem huge. The humming, fans, link room audio delays are common problems for MKIV BV7s, but they aren't huge problems.

If you're the kind of person who finds problems, you'll continue finding problems with the MKV, MKVI and newer panels. You'll never get a "perfect" TV.

Hi Moxxey

I do not agree. The least a tv should do is provide you with a good picture. Furthermore, we spend 10 times the money on our B&O equipment because we want the perfect set. I could live with humming noise if I had spend 1.000 USD on my tv, knowing that i will swap it for a new one in a few years anyway. My MK IV was after the latest software updates almost perfect and i was very pleased finally to have a functioning tv. Still i agreed offcause to have a brand new 200 hz panel thinking ( maybe wrongly) that this would offcause be better than my 100 hz. I hate being told that "maybe it is supposed to be like that" when i know that it is just a way for dealers to make buyers learn to live with that stuff. For someone who does not know about tv´s, that may work. But for us that does, dont tell me that my 12.000 Euro tvset is supposed to have white spots on it, when a 700 Euro prosonic does not...

And yes, on faulty tv´s you can always find faults... But not on functioning tv´s. There you just find things that might annoy you, but has no effect on your overall experience. Every fault /issue on the MK IV has a huge effect on the viewing experience. You have yourself swapped your tv 3 times (am I correct?) because of these faults, so saying that one should just learn to live with them does not quite seem correct in your own case. I am happy that you have finally got a functioning tv, and hopefully so will I soon.

Ehlerz, Perhaps you could post a picture to show others what you are experiencing?
