I am not sure if that is correct, that you can buy the Bv7 32 without DVD.

All I have seen here sofar is, that you can buy the 40" without. Giving that the current BV7 is so many years behind and awaiting an update some time soon I doubt that they would make the change to sell it without DVD. I would think that comes with the updated model.

I am using a BV8 32" and am quite happy with it. Only small concern I have is, it has only one HDMI port which is not an issue right now but may become one in a few years. Also it doesn't have surround sound, not even optional so that may be a problem.

I think the 8 is a nicer design than the 7.

Simon.

The BV7-32 was the first to be shipped without DVD.

Regarding the picture, I actually thinks they are very similar on BV7-32 and BV8-32. I would make my decision based on which design I liked the most.

The price of a BV7-32 screen only almost the same as the price of a BV8-32, but if you don't have a pair of BeoLabs you will have to pay extra for a speaker when choosing the BV7-32.

I would compare the two side-by-side. The performance increase on the BeoVision 7-32 seems to be quite large, although the BeoVision 8 is still a very good performer.

The Danish add talks only about the BV 7 40". I believe I might have read that they sold the 32" without DVD to Hotels, but otherwise I could not see that its worth to do do that "change" to the 32" version. Unless the update is really far out which I am hoping it is not. In fact I am disappointed that they do the BV8 40 before the BV7 32 update, giving that they keep saying they sell more large TVs I can understand why though.

Personally I would want to see the price for the DVD "less" BV7 32", and then I would think very careful about the restrictions that the single DVI port puts out.

In my opinion this TV should not be bought unless used, if one likes the design I would wait for the update to happen. The 40" now thats a different story.

Hey guys, i work at the Mailbox B & O store and can confirm that the BeoVision 7 - 32 will definately be available very soon. The 7-40 will also be made available later in the year

All, thanks for the replys and thoughts.

I think i may now wait until after i've completed the building work to my house before making my decision. Hopefully this will give some time to see what the specs are of the next MK version of the BV 7 is in terms of screen and connection inputs (and the cost).

I think the BV7 has a nicer desgn personally...
