Is it true that the wall bracket for the 10-40 will be the same as for the 10-46?

No idea!

The BV10 is a good set - the picture is excellent - I look forward to the professional review. I would say it is the best picture offered at present by an LCD in the range - it even has a couple of advantages over the adaptive lighting of the BV7-55 in my view. Edge bleed will no doubt be mentioned but to my eyes is not an issue. I feel that a software solution to the sound could be possible with a slightly different mix in surround systems. Still playing with the set up! It is actually quite a good replacement set for my Avant - the bigger picture and reduced profile are excellent. It is also in my view the best looking set in the range.

Peter,

Have you got the full package (AR screen, other colored cloths, another remote) ?

I didn't want another coloured cloth, it has AR and DVB-HD as standard and did come with a Beo5 , though I have returned this as I already have one. Mine also has the motorised floor stand.

I don't want people to think I am unhappy with this set - I am not - but I wanted to do an honest appraisal for those considering a purchase so they could proceed with some knowledge.

it's probably designed to go against a wall so as to reinforce the speaker sound

out in free space i'm not surprised it sounds thin

I was thinking about that this morning! 🙂 It would be nice if someone could verify this.

Thanks Peter for such a good review. I was not expecting the lack of PiP function, it is important for me. Do you think that will be solved by a software upgrade?

Agree. I would miss PiP too. Thanks to Peter for the helpful review. Any replacement for the Avant for me has to have as good or better stand-alone sound so BV10 can be discounted. I have LX tv's also and know just how good these sound.

A  BV7 - 40 will be my replacement a few years down the line unless that is B&O make a larger BV6 (my favourite B&O LCD). In the meantime I will enjoy the stunning SD picture. My Avant produces a better picture with greater depth and colour quality from the nearby analogue transmitter (2 more years to go) than via a Thompson Sky box which is dull and flat by comparison.

The only thing about that is that the port exits at the rear. And the wall mount is designed to angle the set away from the wall, unlike the Beolab 3000/5000 which are firmly attached.

One other piece of news - the original wall bracket has been found to be unsuitable for purpose and has been redesigned. If you have one already, expect a visit from your dealer. Seems to have been caught before any untoward incidents.

Hi Peter,

I got mine installed yday. Dealer told me that the wall bracket is already the modified one and hence in Luxembourg they had to wait longer for the new bracket to arrive in the shop. It was the first wall bracket they did install so it took them quite some time.

I'll try to post pictures over the weekend and give my impression. It will though not be as harsh as yours as it's my first B&O TV and compared to what I had before (an 2001 Sony CRT 32 inch), this sounds absolutely fabulous to me. But I can confirm that listening to it in the shop and at home (this morning) , bass doesn't come out strong. 

Given it's my first B&O setup, my comments are probably less of a help to long-time B&O owners. For the potential future buyers I can say that half a day B&O experience is enough for me to never come back! And my wife thinks the same. The design, build quality,  sound, user interface, integration etc are really great. If you value those attributes, there is nothing else to buy, not even Loewe!
