Any BV 7-40 MK V owners out there?

69 replies

i find it hard to believe that freeview hd isn't standard on a £7k 

So I still have issues with 24fps material on my 200 hz panel. Does no one have say an external blurayplayer or a PS3 hooked up for watching 24fps material on their MK V?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Brought my Mac Mini to my dealer today and hooked it up to both a BV 10-46 (200hz) and a 7-40 MK IV with latest SW (He had no MKV).

24fps material had no problem showing up on both screens so my panel must be faulty somehow.

My dealer has now planned to visit me at home to watch for himself and afterwards inform Struer directly.

Finally B&O in Struer has been able to reproduce the 24fps issue i have been struggling with on their test tv´s. Apparently i was the first user who reported the issue, and at that time the service department in Struer didn't even have a BV 7-40 MK V available to test it on yet (??) (WOW, apparently i had the MK V before Struer did). So as always, there will be some kind of software update ( 6´th or 7´th as far as i remember) and hopefully, it will not take 6 months...

Hi Koning

No, apparently just the new MK V, 200hz panels on BV 7-40 (maybe only some of them).

That is all i know.

Hi Ehlerz
I have just talked to my dealers technician today (I still have some issues with my BM5), and I said to him that our 7-55 was very stable and works without any problems. Both with my old SW 7xx and the newly updated 905 on the 7-55. And he did agree that the 7-55 right now is a TV that just works. 
I dont know why you have so many problems (there must be a big difference between 7-40 and 7-55), but I hope that you soon will get as happy with your B&O TV as I am

🙂 

How much is a 7-55 nowadays ?

Euro 16,525 with the taller floor stand.

Hi Ehlerz,

I read your post on the 24Hz issue. I have the same problem with my Playstation 3 and my BV 7-40 MK V. If I set the PS3 to 24p, the refreshing of the lower part of the panel is at a slower rate then the rest......

My dealer said in the past that it was the PS3 and that I should not use the setting 24P. But you have the same problem.

Is the problem solved for you nowadays?

Kind regards,
