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

Certainly, However i have no picture of my specific setup, but borrowed  tomsell99´s picture from another thread. Mine is not as apparent as his, but otherwise looke quite similar.

My point was, that this humming noise isn't actually that bad. My TV room is fairly quiet and, yes, I can hear the noise, but it doesn't really affect me. The PS3 and other devices have far louder fans.

I'm trying to say that you might be on a losing battle here as your expectations are higher than what B&O can deliver for your BV7. This is the problem - you may need to lower your expectations and live with the minor issues (I regard the humming noise as 'minor' compared to some of the major issues I've experienced and you don't need to tell me about BV7 issues!).

Good luck trying to get the TV sorted out, but I feel there's always going to be an issue :(

BTW I've had more MKIII/MKIV major issues than nearly anyone else, so I'm just pleased to get a MKIV without anything major affecting day-to-day use!

I hear what you are saying and do somewhat agree with your statement. I have however allready lowered my expectations since i have had a non  correctly functioning tv for about a year now. But white spots like the ones posted above should IMO not be present on any tv, regardless of pricerange.

True and that would be a major issue for me, too. However, I've stopped upgrading my panel for this reason - every time we stupidly decide to upgrade to a "better" BV7 panel, we have issues.

When I upgraded to the MKIII, I had three major sw issues which took 9 months to be resolved. When I moved up to the MKIV, the first two panels broke down with serious glitches all over the screen, Sky HD box crashes and more.

Now there's no chance of me upgrading to the MKV until they've sorted the major issues that seem to inflict the BV7 for months after the initial release. We should have learned our lesson many years ago!

I have to say Bang & Olufsen were very unlucky with the BeoVision 7-40 Mk IV there were a lot of faults with the PIM module and whilst I agree a TV of that price shouldn't have any problems unfortunately they were outsourcing to a company that supplied a batch of faulty PIM modules. 

The new MKV appears to have no problems, I am very pleased with mine and love watching it every day. A lot of the issues in the early days of the MKIII were SW related and again this has now been ironed out.

There's a difference between "luck" and good Q&A. The latter is what B&O was lacking. We did all the testing for them, with zero compensation.

Hi there,

I see the same white clouds after my MK IV was updated to the new 200Hz panel due to the humming noise on the old one.

Hi Ken

Seriously?? If that is the case, something is very wrong. I had the panel and pim module changed and guess you went through the same thing ?

Sorry to reveal my ignorance, but what is a PIM module and what does it do?

I've recently bought a mark iv and so far no problems

I have a MKIV and i do notice a humming while the tv sync's with HDMI.

While it flickers when changing sourse but then is goes away.

I have noticed that it Hums when i use Apple Tv via Vmem but i have my music up loud enough not to care.
