BV 7-40 Mk III Countdown- who get the first one in EU...?

58 replies

Where do we find the new pricelist?

 

I have just placed my order in today for a BV 7-40 III and a pair of B9, the estimated time of arrival is 28th Nov..  GG

My dealer says the hold up could be the new remote, if so they will ship the TV to me first and give me the remote later.

But I am in Australia, doesn't count as EU.   Still I am pretty excited. hehe


Strange indeed. The set I was looking at was certainly playing Sky HD and the salesman said full HD and the connection was HDMI (although I could not see because of the cover).

What kind of beamer do you use (brand and type) ?

Are you satisfied with the quality of picture?

The lack of a BV7-32 udpate (for now) isn't good news, I agree. Either they will have to drop the model or update it sooner rather than later. You can't have a BV8-32 with HDMI socket and 'old' BV7-32 with a DVI-only socket. Also, I'm assuming the BV8-32 screen is probably of a higher spec than that of the current BV7-32, as the chassis is digital-based.

Was in my dealer yesterday comparing the BV7-32 to BV7-40 and the BV7-40 is so much larger - the 7.2 speaker is nearly 25cm wider, which means that it could be too large for my apartment :-/

Hi, i do not think the dealers are permittet or even want to use it as a demo. Obviously they want to use the latest model for demo's - i mean if they are a good dealer 😁

I would think it easy to sell a used mk2 if you want to pay the difference. Here in Denmark a used 40 mk2 sells around DKR 55.000 in DBA where i can see that a new 40 mk3 will cost DKR 90.000 + remote (if Beo5 96.460 dkr).

 

Fantastic article. Great to see a serious journalist writing about Bang & Olufsen. I ofthen think many writes a some what clouded article only because they find the equipment too expensive, or lack the intelligence to see the true values of details and use.
