this is rather becoming confusing 

so in other words you guys tell me i should wait on a new to-be-released 7-32 which is based on unconfimed rumors ?  

would that help me  getting better view on a playstation 3 (that is the question i have to ask today)

Have you really considered a cheaper, fully featured, non-B&O, PS3 only panel? I understand your affiliation to B&O but it occurs to me that if you're gaming you may be sat a lot close to the screen than normal TV watching and so the full HD facility may be beneficial (again assuming that 32" is an absolute limit).

Full connectivity (with the exception of powerlink/masterlink)

plus the bv7-32 wont let you p-in-p... like the bv7-40 can...

why dont u get an bv8?

What do you expect? B&O to confirm a release date of a planned model? Although they hint and discuss their plans with their dealers, they're not likely to let their customers know of all their forthcoming plans, are they? Thus it will be unconfirmed.

However, ask a mainstream B&O dealer and they'll tell you a BV8-40 and an upgraded BV7-32 (both sharing the same chassis) will be released. No-one knows when exactly, but they are forthcoming. Talking to you dealer is the most 'official' way of getting information from B&O.

of course i don't expect b&o to disclose their deepest secrets but elsewhere on this forum i have seen a list of (official) new releases for 2009 but that was from a dealer meeting in france. no details on a new 7-32 though. i will ask my dealer again. but perhaps i better be prepared that a new 7-32 will arrive in 2010 earliest.

yes i have, but i have b&o all over the house and i am too much an adept to switch to another brand like loewe or else 

Your faith is admirable!

The current bv7-32 does p-and-p but i do not use this feature.

I have got one and I love it. Picture using internal DVB-T tuner is gorgeous. Sound is fantastic, and you can add surround speaker.

BV8 is not a true B&O product and lack DVB-T tuner, 2 way AVL, Moving stand, contrast screen and Beolink is an option :-(
