I think a big part of the premium they charge is due to the integration.

I have a very good AV-Sytem in my bedroom: Sony TV, NAD Amp, Kef speakers; but why do I watch my DVDs in the living room on the Beovision 7-40?

How to watch a DVD on the BV7:

1. Get the remote

2. Press "DVD" 

3. Dim the lights to Setting 6

4. Enjoy!

How to watch a DVD in the Bedroom:

1. Search all the 3 remotes

2. Power on the TV

3. Press "AV" 3 times

4. Power on the Amplifier 

5. Set it in DVD mode

6. Power on the DVD player

7. Press "Play"

8. Go to your lamp and dim it down

9. Sit down, wipe the sweat from your face and enjoy

No more things to say.

For your bedroom, buy a Harmony One. Program a macro-code. (easy software)

Touch the screen en watch.😕

I think black is better

Boring price discussion.

Is a Logitech Harmony in the box? No, but when I buy a BV 7 I get a Beo 4 or 5.

Also: Why should I buy an ugly plastic remote for 199€? A Beo 4 costs only 40€ more.

I prefer watching TV in the living room, with MUCH better picture and sound quality.

I'd have to agree! I've just bought a Logitech Harmony 785, and while it's a great piece of kit, it's streets behind a Beo4 and even my BeoLink 1000. The Beo4 and BeoLink 1000 both feel like they should cost 20x as much. It's no use comparing functionality. The Logitech controls all my peripherals, as would a Beo4, BeoLink 1000 or indeed a Beo5! The difference is that the B&O remotes do a much better job of it, even though it's actually the TV doing the work.
