I can't help wondering what the future of BV7-32 will be, it hasn't been updated for ages and now the picture quality is certainly going to be much superior on the BV10-32, not to mention the connections and full HD capacity.

Since the built-in DVD player doesn't play BluRay nor can record anything, it looks like BV7 family will soon have only 2 members..😛

It's not about buying a pair of shoes, we are talking about big money (well, maybe to a lot of you it isn't, but a lot more think otherwise).

Ergo: it is a propper TV, like all other models offered by B&O. I would be happy if I can buy it and give it a place in the living room. 

Amen 🙂

Sweet. Very nice TV 😐

This is a third picture found at the B&O download center

Well, I've just received a personalised folded brochure from my B&O dealer,offering a home demonstration and  featuring the BV10. This picture, which is clearly the 32, is on the inside page, but for some reason the leaflet only identifies the model choice as being BV10-40 or 46!

The other interesting thing is that the BS 9000 is so prominently placed in the foreground.......... not what you would expect for a model supposedly going to be phased out soon.

I agree with  other comments about references to 32" screens being suitable for bedrooms. etc. They are equally suitable for main rooms in many circumstances. The same thinking seemed to creep-in when the 32" Avant was being compared to the BV/BC1, when the slightly smaller 4:3 screened TV was suddenly referred to by everyone (inc Lifestyle) as being more suitable for the bedroom or kitchen. How many people had a kitchen that could easliy accommodate a BC1 (not to mention the effects of grease on that DVD drawer)?

I suppose in 10 years time we'll all have 104" living room screens and the 32"s will be the new portables 👍

Your quite right, in the days of CRT's 32 inch was the biggest size available, however nowadays the average moved upwards to 40/50 inch. Everybody quickly got used to those big sizes. Everything depends of the room you want to put it in and how far you're sitting from it. 

My dealer told me 6 months ago that 32 inch would not be made for the BV10, everything would be become larger (bv7-55,...), my argument was indeed that not everybody wanted a huge 50 inch screen in his living room even if they could afford it.

Of course it is a lot of money, I agree fully, but the moment you enter the world of B&O you know you will pay a premium. But then it comes also with a design, ease of use and functionalities which most brands don't even offer. 

Neither is it like buying a pair of shoes, that's why I keep track of this forum in order to know in advance if a certain product will be updated or the other way around, just to avoid dissapointment when you put your hard earned money down.

Graham you are right, the size matters thing in TV's are almost getting out of hand!

My flat is not large, my BV5 was even a bit big for the livingroom, if not only for the 42" screen, then for it's massive presence.

Not many (besides Beoworld members) have commented on my recently acquired BV10 40" in a positive tone.... "What? ONLY 40"!" is the most commonly occurring answer. 😂

One of my best friends almost begged me to take the 46", or larger, since he was convinced ha was saving me from the "biggest" mistake of my life.

The BV7 in 32" looked to me as a bit out of proportions, this is not the case with the BV10 32". It looks hot! Perfect for any room. 

I was looking at the 40 inch variant but 32 is quite enough for me but i do require a surround module. can anybody confirm this wil be an options for the 32inch?

That's what i was afraid of. Might have to go for the BV-8 40 or BV-10 40 in that case.
