I hope it is a complete overhaul. The idea of having the "sound pit" i get, and i see Sony have now introduced a stand that focuses the sound from the bottom in a similar manner. The BV 8-40 looks like something from a decade ago with its bulky boxy looks. Just because its the "budget" tv does not mean it need be ugly. This, like the Beosound 8 are the lower priced gear that should retain customers who neither can, or want a tv for £10-15,000.

I have said it before, and this could equally refer to cars that the more budget brands have really picked up their game and are hot on the heels of the so callled premium brands. Why spend £4,000 on a tv made in the eastern block that is aesthetically challenged, when more up to date models from Samsung say, are on sale for a 1/4 of the price and nice to look at to boot? Brand loyalty must be earned, and i have to say my new A8's are amazing.

I actually like the design of the BV8, I think is not bad at all for entry level BnO TV set. I made the mistake of buying a Samsung for my kitchen and I regret every minute I have to see it, it's just plain ugly and cheap.

I´m also one of them who like the Bv 8-40. It´s not as good looking in 32" i think but 8-40 has perfect proportions, I think. I almost bought one but ended up with a 10-40 because I wanted motorstand which I had on My MX. The 8-40 would have looked a lot sleeker in my home though

The BV8 is the most beautiful television ever made, when on its sculptural stand - not the new stand.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this one is simply outstandingly beautiful.

And even when just placed on a table or countertop, using its extendable small supports, it's an astonishing functional sculpture.

Delete attempt 2

Take it away...it hurt's my eyes

i don't like it

That was amazingly ugly, in my eyes, Chris. I'm trying not to see those animated figures, but still. And I think it's the figures that are coloring my perception.

I've just got back with the kids and i'm so embarressed. I tried to delete the whole thing before i left as it looked shocking then. Very sorry. If the mods can delete it please do.😮

I got a white 8-32 in my kitchen, and I have never regret this purchase.

It looks good, picture is good and sound is very good.
