There are a few Mk 4 7-32's knocking around. They have HDMI and a great picture which would perfectly suit your Apple TV.

Just as an example.

I love my 7 32" MKIII...... personally I'm not into big TV screens so this size ticks all my boxes; good picture quality, great sound, looks good and mine too is hooked up to apple TV.

Like Chris I have spotted more MKIV's coming onto the market place but have questioned to myself is the price difference worth the HDMI when for a little more you could go to the BV10 32" as its as easy to transfer your DVD collection to iTunes and play through Apple TV ?

 

 

sorry for second post as I can't edit at present.

I would not get too hung up on picture quality at this size, although they may not cope with the use of some black colours it still beats hands down the brand new small Samsung I bought for the bedroom. The huge selling point to my wife was the motorised table stand for practicality the only down side in my eyes is the on screen menus ie TV guide .

Although you mention you just use Apple TV I would recommend you make sure the 7 32" comes with Freeview, it's just a good thing to have.

Happy hunting and let us know what you get and really sad to hear about your 7000.

 

 

Mark that is a really great piece of advice - the BV10-32. I'm sure TheMajor's girlfriend would love that design!

The beauty of using Apple TV only is that at present, if you do not watch 'live' TV in the UK, you do not need to fund the BBC with a TV licence. It does seem disgraceful funding the BBC after all of the taxes that we all pay especially with wonderful choice now from Netflix, Amazon, Vimeo, YouTube, iTunes.

Thanks for the advice. 

i will add freeview to list just incase. Out of interest, how long have you had yours?

I'm the same, I hate a big TV in the room. Are you using the DVI slot? Am I correct in assuming it just a phono slot on the side? 

 

Ive been using the AppleTV for a long time by just screw sharing from my phone or iPad. It's super easy I don't even need to use the apple remote. 

 

Is is there anything I should look out for while searching?

I've had my BV 7 32" for about 3-4 years and enjoyed every minute of viewing, for the past year I have been drip feeding my wife that we should buy the BV10 32"...  I also upgraded my kitchen BeoCenter 1 recently to a BV6 26" with HDMI on a motorised floor stand and Apple TV and must say it's a little gem with a better user menu than the 7, but the screen size maybe a little too small to really enjoy films and there's no fantastic sound bar.

Yes I run the Apple TV through the DVI port and personally have little issue with the drop in picture quality and none of my friends have ever commented about it and I know that they would have a dig at any oppurtunity (thats not to say the 40 & 55 are not superior)

I suppose with most B&O TV's try and get ones with the latest firmware and lowest day used count, which can be easily accessed from the main service menu. 

Maybe others can offer any more advice what to look out for.

Hey Major,

 

I have a BV7-32 and I think it is smashing. The picture is in my opinion far better than many newer LEDs. Also the DVD is perfect. If you go to your dealer, they should be able to sort you out so you can watch all regions on it.

I have a computer connected to the DVI, and the sound in to the the scart. One of those scarts with RCA in. Then in the menu I have setup for DVI as AV4 and that automatically connects the scart as well. I have programmed my Beo4 with the PC option in the List-button, and this turns on the DVI.

 

I have heard that you need to first connect a center speaker to be able to use any other speakers at all. But the Mk3 has DTS and the soundprocessor is very nice

 

Someone has probably already told you this. I just wrote this without having read any other comments yet.

Off topic I know - but out of interest:

Do you still have that old licence model in the UK?

I thought it had been replaced by some sort of broadcasting levy on all households - means, that you would pay regardless of how you receive the BBC programs.

Hi MM,

Yes at present and it's very out of date isn't it. With so much choice from so many platforms and providers, the BBC licence should be optional, it's much much like Rupert Murdoch making everyone who owns a TV subscribe to SKY or he'll take you to a court. The whole thing needs sorting out.
