Hello
I learned from this forum, that the beovision 7 is going to 100 Hz. In the forum of the official B&O page is written about a possible release of this tv by march 08. Could it be truth or is it just a rumour?
Thanks for your replays!

It seems to be true. I talked with my dealer about this some months ago, and he told me the same thing.
We don't seem to be having much luck do we Chris? !!

I think I agree on the external blueray player. I think what may happen to the BV7 is that we see a larger screen. 46" with 100hz. That would be something which wouldn't upset existing 40" customers. I seriously doubt that they would do such a major update this soon after the major update that brought us the integrated BS3.

It's people and dealers speculating Simon. A friend mentioned the other day that I first mentioned the upgraded BV7-40 back in early 2007 (March?), so we were talking about this for 8 or 9 months before it was finally launched. They can't then go and upgrade the BV7-40 again, but again forget the BV7-32.
Blu-ray support won't happen internally for a while. If B&O go down the Blu-ray route, it would be an external player first, in my opinion. The platform is still not fully stable - issues with upgrading standalone drive firmware, for example.
I guess 100Hz and 24fps support (BS3) might happen, but would be low-key addition, much like HDCP support was adding to BV7's since the original launch. Mind you, these two additions are more important than an internal Blu-ray player.
There are so few BR players at the moment are profile 1.1 and only the well known japanese brands offer a reliable firmware update on a regular basis- is NOT samsung- who have gone the dual format route and previous attempts at BR have not been good. They dont make a reliable product- so i would not want that included in the BV7 anyway!
I dont think even BnO are going to upgrade the BV7 in this way without providing firstly the latest profile and secondly a way of updating the firmware. As for 100HTZ and 24FPS - this is not going to change the perfomance much even if they did include it.
18 months from now there will be changes which will make an appreciable difference.
Profile 1.1 is more important then profile 2.0
BDP7200 from Philips.
