Do i read right? 1 x HDMI?  

I'm afraid this does nothing for me and I question a strategy that follows the 'TV on the wall' direction. Surely the people B&O target live in homes with space. Do they really want their TV on the edge of the room? Let's face it, a decent Samsung looks pretty much as good on a wall. I think B&O are making the mistake of trying to compete in the TV market by making their products more like their competitors rather than by making them more different. 

that is the connection between BS3 and the BV12. You will plug the sources into BS3 not directly to BV12

Strange that BS3 is not mentioned anywhere on the Beovison 12 infopage (what I can see).

Guess less knowledgable customers must be surprised if they expected a more standard TV setup (i.e no external box other than maybe a cable TV tuner).

In a perfect world I'd like to see all TVs free-standing. I personally think they look cool and derive a lot of their personailty from this configuration. Unfortunately, though, people want televisions on the wall. They want a beautiful design and great performance, but a lot of people's rooms are just better suited to a flat wall-mounted TV. The last year I think I only sold 3 BV4-65s. Right now I have 2 BV12s pre-ordered so I think it's going to be a big hit. 

Have to say I like the design of this one but I also miss the floorstand (that's why I still love the 7 so much). It's a shame they have the Beovision on the webpage next to the Beolab 12 instead of some proper 5's and 8000's. I think the beolab 12 looks futuristic... not beautiful...

The BeoLab 12s have grown on me. My intial reaction was that there was way too much reflective surface. But I like the design. Like a lot of low-profile technology it's hard to capture the looks in a photo. I'm hopeing that they release a black and dark grey version to tone down some of the shine.

18K for a TV...i can see the recession has not hit everyone!!

sadly, i wont be a proud owner and will have to make do with my BV7-40!!!

actually, i agres with the anti-wall brigade...if i spend 18K on a Tv, it better stop u in your tracks when you walk into the room!!!!

.....while the BV12 is a beautiful TV, i think these new designs are becoming less and less distinguishable than main brands like Samsung or sony. In terms of design, its no BV 7.
