BeoVision 8-40 at Bang & Olufsen of Derby WOW!

7 replies

Just popped in to town and as always I wondered up to see what's new there and low and behold no longer than being there 10mins it tunred up.

It looks fantastic, funnily enough it looks now to me in proportion if that makes sense? the menus are like that of the latest software in my 7-40.

Out the box it comes with the DVB-HD inbuilt, the option they will be adding once in stock is the Masterlink and DSS board. The guess who is borrowing it over a weekend??????? It should look great in the games room and with my existing beolab 6000's should sound fantstic with the PS3.

Anyway I am off to enjoy the sun and wash my car now, go and have a look it has been worth the wait.

Very nice and what price is the 8-40 at that dealer?

I have seen the BV8-40 too, and I think the picture is excellent. Almost as good as BV7-40 mkIII!

The price was 31.495 DKK which equals 4.220 EUR.

It is in stores in Helsinki as well and it is great! Using it is a real pleasure, picture quality excellent and it does seem to give a possibility to "record" from the EPG. Well, of course it does not have hard disk build in, but it surely seems promising. I'm upgrading from 8-32 for sure, finally I see TV when I press "TV" on my Beo4, ohyeah!

I like the guys at Derby Bang & Olufsen they are very helpful and down to earth

Im also interested to know the UK price of the BV8 40, with masterlink. Does it have freeview built in.

I think i'll phone the dealer and find out.

The DSS board was already fitted in the one I saw, it's only the ML, additional scart and RF out that is not a standard feature.  The price I have is £3615 including ML and Beo4 but until the end of May you get an upgrade to Beo5 for the same price.
