Based on the spec's I've seen they haven't included TrueHD or DTS-HD among the BS3 sound formats, so I do hope that the new internal bluray will do the decoding and pass it on as PCM to the BS3 - anything else would be embarrassing for B&O.

Oh god, good point. As I'm assuming the existing drive is merely a drive with a scart-type cable to the main motherboard, I seriously doubt they are going to get a chip capable of decoding the audio then passing it to the BS3, in the new Blu-ray internal drive. Surely the drive would merely be a drive mechanism update?

Why? Well, it's a drive mechanism replacement for the existing BV7-40 MKIII (and only £400, which is 'cheap' for B&O), so there's no way you are going get True HD decoding built-in to a £400 internal player.

B&O are gonne kill them self if they dont start making up to date produkt 😡

Im not gonna spent about 12-13.000 euro on a outdatet produkt, and i dont think im the only one 😂

From what I heard they're switching to Sharp panels. I have this from what I would say is a somewhat good source.

Meaning not always right, but more often so than wrong :-)

That is definitely a step in the right direction ,was not impressed at all with samsung panel picture quality!!!😐

24p = Yes Mk III and MK IV got 24p support.

And moxxey it´s not a scart cable between the dvd drive and the motherboard. They use computer IDE Ultra ATA cabling..

And they are going to use Sharp panels in the new BV8-40 and the new Bv7-55, but the Bv7-40 MkIV they still use Samsung, but the new 2-4ms 120Hz Ultra Glare panel.

Samsung are far ahead Sharp in LCD technology, so i don´t think you should be disappointed because of that..

Regards

BV7 mk III does not have 24p.

Do you know when the new 55" BV7 are arriving?
