The chips are by Pixelworks. BeoSystem 1 used Faroudja. We didn't reinvent the wheel, we just didn't sell a wheel by itself and say it was a car.

Ohhh dear...!

Razlaw,

I am still contemplating that question, to be honest.  But my greater point is that as a total product, I would rather have a BV-7 40-US/MK 3 than anything else in the family right now.  It is simply magical.

 As to the 'darker' picture impression, I got interrupted earlier, I see it as akin to the impression that the BeoLab 6000 has less bass than the 4000.  At first it seems obvious, but upon further review, it becomes obvious that the 6000 simply presents the mids and highs so much better, and in better balance.  As I stared at the Dave Matthews concert on the BV-7, I began to feel the same way, I think it is just possible that the 'darker' picture is a more balanced presentation.

Could the darkness be a result of how the picture settings are adjusted?

Any opinion as to which is more clear?

You should have waited until the November where B & O comes with BeoVision 7-40 "Full HD LCD Mk VI
which is a 100 Hz TV can work with 24p images from a Blue Ray HD DVD player.
