Are there plans this year for updating the BV8-40 too?

Now with 200Hz screen - though still cold cathode Fluorescent tube, not LED. Quite a variety of screens now available!!

So....the BV10-40/46 has a "better" screen than the more expensive BV7-40 MKV? How bizarre.

IMO, the picture on the bv-7 is not matched by any other B&O television, LED or no LED, so what defines "Better Screen"?

Technically better.

I've seen the BV10-46 next to a BV7-40 MKIV and the picture was sharper and more clean. The BV9 has a better picture, too.

The BV7-40MKIV is vastly more capable than the BeoVision 8-40. The picture is night and day. We show the exact same source on all the TVs in my shop for exactly this reason. The difference is notable. 

So my questions are:

Will the panning be vastly improved going from the 60Hz MKIII to the 200Hz MKV.

What other benefits does the MKV offer??

Guess I'll be buying a BV10-40 or wait for the next BV7-40.

CCFT is so 20th century.

I should be getting my MKV next week and will let you all know what the step up is like to the 200Hz.

All I can really say now though is that I am very excited about it!!

I would assume that probably has as much to do with the built in BS 3 as it does the screen itself.  The BS 3 is IMHO an amazing processor!  The BV8-40 also costs slightly less!

Trip: Does the US version of the BV 8-40 have a built in tuner, or is there no tuner like the 8-32?  Have you compared the picture quality of the 8-40 against the BV 10-40 and BV 8-32.  Just wondering how it compares against both of these.
