Beovision 8

The tube of my Beovision 3 just brokedown, after 6 years already.

 Now I am considering to buy a Beovision 8 32" , but this one doesnot have a surround sound module.

Will this be available soon?

Just replace the tube! 6 years isn't very long, and the BV8 will never have a surround module.
Even if the BV8 would have a sourround sound module, I would advise you to keep the BV3 and replace the tube, unless you don't like it anymore.

that could be considered, but I also read some independent reviews that the BV8 has a really good picture and sound and its score is 8 (out of 10) on picture and sound.

That's right, the BV8 has a good picture quility, and the (stero-) sound is even more impressive considering the size of the unit. But I doubt that the picture quality is better then on BV3...

Press information:

Why is a DSS module not available?

BeoVision 8 is designed and positioned as the flexible television meant to be used for casual entertainment,
not dedicated home-cinema viewing - for this purpose concepts like BeoCenter 6-26,
BeoVision 7, BeoVision 9 and BeoVision 4 are recommended.
However, remember that it is possible to add two extra speakers and a subwoofer to BeoVision 8
for a more powerful and intense sound experience.

 

Well this is the first time I have heard of the Tube going in a BV3. Mine is 3 Years old this Month, I hope it has nore than 3 Years life left in it.

6 years isn't very long.. i have to wonder if there is some outside influence that has caused the tube to go.

I'm not sure that the BV3 has a better picture than the BV8. BV8 is pretty awesome on  picture but the sound isn't as good as the BV3 on sound, although still very good.

Do you use your BV3 for surround sound, because if you just want to add a pair of speakers you can just plug them into the BV8.

How much is "very little"? Sounds a little arbitrary to me...
