I think the TV range is pretty extensive at present. BV7, BV9, BV4, BV10, BV8and BC6. As far as I am aware, they will not make a stand alone Blu-ray player, relying on the PUC to control other makes.

I just visited the factory in Struer together with my mate Anders. We were not allowed access to various parts of the factory because of new products being assembled... However, suggestions were made of a TV that would fill the gap between the BV4 65" and the BV4 103"...

As a retailer, I'm not very interested in a new model, but more in adding sizes to the existing range. I'm also interested to the point of exploding in a scaled down BeoSystem 3 to control 3rd party screens so that I can offer B&O solutions to mid-market folks who've already invested in a Samsung or whatever (or cannot make the investments in one of our screens) and add BeoLink capabilities in very large installations where some areas cannot accommodate a B&O tv design for various reasons.

I heard that the BV 9 was ended with the launch of the 7 -55, so that would only leave the 4 series plasmas and 7, 8 & 10. Is the 6 still offered in Europe? I wonder if the the four series will be replaced with LCD screens. Can't see a huge need for an 85"?

i've been told there will be a BV8-40 mkii soon

What about a BV8-46? ...I would like one:-)

I agree with both Peter and Trip.  I think we have a pretty nice range of televisions at the moment.  I would like to see one or two smaller screen options here in the US though, for those areas that don't need a 40" (the smallest currently available in the US) or larger screen.  Another 32" or 26" model would be nice.  I'd also like to see a scaled down (less expensive) BeoSystem 3 too (BeoSystem 4?).  Of course, being a B&O fan and always excited about new models, I wouldn't exactly complain about a new TV design!

Apparently small TVs do not sell well in the US. TO me this is very hard to believe, especially in condos within city limits where space comes at a premium.

I think they need 3 things: Keep the current TV range current, give digital music another kick beyond the BS5 and start thinking about video over the internet.

Technically, most online video services offer some sort of interface. Boxee demos that nicely. Apples IOS4 probably follows soon into the same direction, with netflix and abc being a start.

Next purchase on my list will be something for digital music, not the BS5 though in its current state of development.

JK,

This is an example of how B&O has miscalculated their market. The BeoVision 8-32 did not survive in the US because it was too little for the money. Despite their best reasoning, there was no hope for bringing a $4,000 television to market with one HDMI input and a 720p screen. The type of client who would make such a purchase will be looking to get the most for their money and shop on many criteria. The BeoVision 8 had great sound and admittedly a good picture for its resolution, but couldn't compete on even the basics. 

Had they invested in updating the platform and keeping pricing aggressive, I think they could have sold more of these or similar models in the size category. 

I'm mostly missing them for large installs where we want the experience consistent from room to room. Connecting a BeoSystem 3 to a 17" Samsung is not always the best idea!
