Are you sure a BV 10-55 is epected?

I was about ordering a 46" model and may be tempted to way for it.

Cheers, Marc.

I am not sure but someone claimed about two weeks ago there will be (a) bigger version(s) of the BV 10 aproximately 50" but as there are no 50 inch panels from samsung another one claimed it would be 55".

I am also about ordering a 46" model therefore I asked about the 3D panels. What could be more annoying than buying a 46" in the coming weeks and in let's say 3 months there is a 10-55 maybe also with 3D....?

The same point as paying for a DVB-HD tuner for UK models when you can't use them - wait 3 to 6 months, 3D movies will be commonplace.  My early experiences of it are fantastic (asides from an intermittent glitch with the viewing glasses!)  

I think we ought to be fair to B&O in this day and age for being behind the times (though frustrating). Technological progress is at a pace which is much more difficult to keep up with. I think 10 years ago, it was a key mantra for B&O to "wait until a technology was established" before jumping in, but nowadays, new technologies are being developed and adapted into the mainstream at a break-neck pace. -- Far too quickly for a patient company with products that remain in production for decades (ie. Beosound 9000).


The philosophy at B&O need to change if they want to deliver what consumers want. Quality in material & design are things which B&O can take time in developing. On the other hand the kinds of quality/compatibility in software & components need to change to allow for the design and materials [quickly] adaptable to the changing standards / expectations. THAT, my friends, is a paradigm shift which is much more difficult to enable.

Does anyone think A Beovision 10 in 55 inch form might be too big? (especially if they keep it in proportion with the 10-40+46). It would take up a lot of space.

question is will  3 d take off, varous companies pushing i agree, but all the opticians are saying as i understand it most of us would not get the benefit of it anyway

so i wonder i remember the fanfare in the cinemas when 3 d launched   will be the thing of the future this is the way forward  didnt last just died a death

so will be interesting

question is will  3 d take off

I think Not!!

Maybe a poll will give us a the answer.

With something like 3D tv, we're not talking about a fundamental technology in the sense that we discuss contrast ratio or pixel count. We're talking about a feature. There are many features which we did not adopt. SACD. Minidisk. Magic-Fingers. All these came and went and we were stronger for not adopting niche features that would have taken financial resources to develop/incorporate that would never have been recovered in the sale of the products. 

3D has been popping its head out for decades now and from what I've seen in both available products and demonstrations, it's ill-suited to home use. I believe I've mentioned it before, but when a younger client demanded 3D, I ended up selling him a Samsung model. When I rang up the glasses for his family I grinned to myself as to why electronics manufacturers are so eager to propagate this technology especially. 6 pairs of active glasses were only a few dollars less than the TV & blu-ray player. 

If 3D technology emerges such that all viewers can see a benefit regardless of optical deficiency (I personally have trouble seeing the 3D effect without headaches), glasses aren't required, there are no effects on the overall picture quality, and effect is not diminished by using a sub-100" screen then I think the benefit will be there for the discriminating client. At this point, however, it's targeted at adolescents and adult-adolescents. 

... cold not agree more with TripEnglish. 
In my view, let the entire "food chain" from producers to TV stations achieve full HD coverage in all their programs (may take a while). Probably more important than running after the next "next thing" called 3D.

 

 

 

I think the best way to go 3d in the home is by a Projector as the screen size wil be  reasonable size for 3d.
