Hello All,

Still a lot of speculation if this Danish campaign is truely a BV 7-40 Monitor only (no DVD). Can anyone confirm that the mentioned price is really for a BV7-40 without DVD adn Speaker priced to 42.495 kr. or 5.700 €?

 It's also refered to price in Danish and just recently in Norweigan Kronor "63.000 NOK, but they have decided to sell it for approx 42.000 NOK incl Beo4"  Is there a similar campaign ready for Sweden? This would almost mean all Nordic (any Finland) is ready for this and then the question is which other region that might next inturn

When I heard about this "promotion" I immediately started to wonder what the need would be for a BeoVision 8-40? 

Now we've heard about a BeoVision 8-40 and I think that it has been anticipated both for its potentially low price-point as well as its potential to add in some of the flexibility that has been missing from the BeoVision 8-26 & 32.

But now that we see a bit of de-engineering on the BeoVision 7 I wonder if I were in the market for a more modestly priced 40" LCD if I wouldn't rather have a BeoVision 7 on the wall than a BeoVision 8? So what if the BeoSystem 3 were to come back out (as an option of course!) leaving a stereo output and more connectivity than the BeoVision 8 chassis? If they have to engineer a new basic 40" chassis anyway, why not develop a cheaper form factor for the BeoVision 7 as opposed to a more expensive form factor for the BeoVision 8?

I suppose the built-in sound is the only issue, but throw in a pair of BeoLab 4s and you've got (depending on spacing) about the same sound as the BeoVision 8 if not a little better.  

seems they're trimming everything off now

what next a beovison without a screen ?

at least it'll be cheap i guess :) 

Seems a helluva price drop for removing the DVD player ................. maybe they just thought it was overpriced😂

Sorry😳

Bear in mind the cost of essentially opening up new production lines for the aluminium parts/body parts which only fit the DVD-only version. Most people will still go for the DVD/BR-inc. version (I suspect, it's one of the BeoVision 7's strongest selling points).

Sorry - got the wrong end of the stick! 😂 Mods delete if they feel appropriate!
