Would you choose a BV7-40 or 10-32 for an average living room?. I like them both cosmetically but must admit i would love the BL7.2.

For me, the 10-32 is tiny. Looks like a toy TV! If you've used a 40" before, the 32" will look tiny in comparison. A 40" is a good compromise. My TV room isn't large and the 40" doesn't dominate.

Try and find a BV7-40 MKIV "pre-loved" with BV7.2 from LifeStyleAV or MoreThanAV?

Im a HUGE fan of the BV10-32 so I guess it's down to choice.

Out of interest, I bought a BV6-22 new in Nov 2005 and I never had problems with picture (brightness etc). Sources were only Grundig Sky Digital and B&O DVD1. In January 2009, my flatmate bought a 32" Samsung TV all good except very dark picture!!! Some of my DVD's were unwatchable as they were so dark!  At least I think Samsung have got the LCD LED screens excellent now!

 

Update of sw should solve the problem Build 8.23 (issue should be solved from build 8.14)

Tompa, is this answer to the dark picture on BV 7-40 MK3, or something else. Just hoping:-)

 

I get mine within the next 2 weeks and can't wait. Our first B&O TV since 1985!!!!

There are some great deals to be had if you peruse the store finder, in the London area say🤒 Saw a pre-owned 10-46 for £5,500👍

I think so yes, if your sw build is older then 8.14
