When you nean the contrast and colour functions you are right. But it is possible to control the on/off function for a handful screens. I don't know exactly the screens but I have seen them in the PUC software at my dealer. The Sony Screen is available and it is working with on and off.

I'm wondering if there's a different behaviors here between European and American BS3's.  I live in the US, and called B&O HQ about non-B&O displays.  They said they'd work fine as long as they were in their listed in the selection menu.  He claimed even the brightness/contrast controls would work (at least on Samsung LCD's), of which I'm sceptical.  I also caught a glimpse of supported displays, and it looked quite extensive (several models of Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, among others).  Projector support seemed limited to Sim2 and Samsung, although I think both panel and projector outputs would work, without on/off control, for any DVI-compatible display.

Others in the US agree with me?  Any of you outside of the US think I'm right about things being more restrictive where you are? 

 I just ordered a BS3 myself with a commercial Panasonic display.  I'll give a full report of my experiences once it's set up.

After one has done the setup for the screen, does anybody really need the contrast and colour functions again? I never used them as I had the Avant. And I never use them now. Is there a difference between the DVDs? Or DVD and cable?

I am interested to know whether there are any issues with connecting a commerical panasonic to the beosystem 3. Specifically, i have a beosystem 1 connected to a panasonic plasma and there are two annoying consequences 1. the panasonic lists the input which intereferes with the curtain and 2. there are black bars on the left and right side of the screen. Note my panasonic plasma is a not a commerical model; but it has a vga port.

I am planning on getting the 65 version commericial but am concerned about the above issues.

Black bars should not be visible on an HD program.  If not HD, with my local cable (Cox), the STB settings manage the non-HD signals.  It offers several viewing options for non-HD, including stretch and black bars.  You might check your STB settings.
