Hi

I don't know about the system 3 software but I can say the 65" is absolutely fantastic - Forget about Hz, contrast ratios etc... Just look at the picture! Even in standard definition it is absolutely amazing with deep, rich blacks and fantastic colours. In HD it is stunning. The Beovision 9 is a lovely TV but imo, a 4 65" coupled with a Beolab 10 in in a different league altogether (which is saying something considering we are talking about a £15,000 Bang & Olufsen television). If I had the money I would definately be giving one a home!

Any other thoughts guys?

In the real world True-HD does not make a huge deal of difference. It's there in the first place to provide a fantastic sound and frankly, even a poorly set-up and chosen B&O surround sound system will outperform pretty much anything you'll find on the market.

RE the BV4-65", yes it is an exceptionally good TV. The BeoSystem 3 is what really makes it though, and how well tied-in it is with the BeoSystem, and as a result, the picture produced. The 4-65" when driven with a BeoSystem 3 is the only television I've seen of that size which produces a good picture with standard definition (which is usually unwatchable on a screen of that size). In fact, with standard definition, it's jaw-dropping, let alone HD.

Especially with the latest innovation, ie the colour re-calibration every 100 hours of watching. A very clever solution to a problem which could otherwise cause issues!

Razlaw:

An upgrade may or may not be needed to enjoy True HD and DTS Master. There is a somewhat lengthy, I think somebody actually called it epic, thread here discussing the issue.

Razlaw, I don't think that 'added' to the conversation. Hence my irony in the previous comment. Please do not tell potential BS3 owners that it supports True HD. It definitely does NOT support DTS-HD.

 I come from America where we actually believe in free speach.  We also believe in letting people make their own informed decisions based on all available information. If you would have taken 3 seconds or so to actually read my post, you would have seen I did not express any opinion in it, merely said there was a forum already discussing it in response to your absurd suggestion that a new thread be started on the topic.
