To Keith Saunders! Do you know when BV 7-40 Mark III will support 24 fprs at 1080p? Do you know if this will reduce the "judder" when looking at Bluray movies? The TV will just convert the 24 fprs to 60fprs. Do we need to wait for a 120hz screen to get the perfect picture?

Hello 

Is there a way to change the hardware and software on the beovision 7 40 MK III (or Beosystem 3) for a good Blueray Picture with 1080p (24), or do we all have to buy a new tv set for that?

Regards

Wallace

Martin,

I do not know when the Beovision 7-40 Mark III will support 24 fps, if ever, however I am informed that the Beovision 4-50 and 4-65 has been fitted with a new panel which will now provided a higher contrast ratio and also 24 frames per second.

Given, what B&O have done with the Beovision 4, I must assume at some point the Beovision 7 will get the same upgrade meaning that more than likely there will be a Mark IV, rather than an upgrade to the existing Mark III

Keith, according to my knowledge the 24p support for the Panasonic comercial panels is based on a new HDMI modul (with 2 HDMI inputs), they are on option and fit in the current Full HD panels. So the panels are not the show stopper, it is the DVI modul. (e.g. with SDI modul24p was already supported even with G9 full HD panels)

So in theory it might be possible to make the current BV4 (based on the full HD G10 panel) 24p ready with the new modul, but no idea  if the B&O modul will be the same.

Here in this thread, in 2 consecutive posts, we have one of the greates issues we have discussed properly encapsulated for us: 

I visited two different B and O dealers this weekend to look at the Beovision 7. I was informed by both tha the current 7 is fully capable of supporting 24 fprs, needing only a future software update. One of the dealers indicated that there are no plans for a panel upgrade on the 7 as it is not needed.

I was also told that the internal DVD player is modular and thus can be replaced when a Blueray version is released.
