thank you, for all your reply. Yes, of course, there is sky in Italy (and sky hd). Actually I am using sky non hd. The real problem is that, after spending 3600euros, I have to add another 350 for the masterlink (NOW I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC! Moreover... the aux of my beocenter 2300 will be fit by the masterlink... so... no music from my mac...), and add another 20 euros for a splitter and... I have not a dvd player in blu ray from B&O... so a mess of cables and remote control... MOREOVER, if I spend 3600 euros I WANT THE BEST PICTURE OF THE LCD LEGUE AND THE BEST SOUND... why the sound is worst than the beovision 1????

I don't care about plast, I love plastic in the design... but I hate the floor stand (a cheap pastic cover for the cables...)... moreover no space inside the plastic cover to fit all the cables! where is the perfection of the project??? I want a perfect B&O low end object... but still perfect...

I love the design... but there are too many issues...

And last but not least... if I can get the best picture only in hd why just one hdmi?

Does this mean that whenever TV signals will be digital all over, image quality advantage BnO once had will disappear? With analog signals BnO TVs were just outstanding. But when I look at regular flat screens with digital feed, especially HD, it seems that the difference in image quality is small.

 As I am building a house and will start with the wiring in a couple of weeks, I plan to install a BnO network. Though that for audio have no problem spending the money, for a BnO TV I have a bit of a concern spending that much money on a flat screen with arguments that have been written in this post. And I do share a lot of them. But on the other hand I do not want to have X remotes and no integration.

 

... happy new year!!

p.s. of course bv8 is always a b&o!

Streets ahead. The later BeoVision 5s produce a stunning picture, not that far off some of the CRTs (although I still don't think they were up to the Avant) but the BeoVision 9 really is something else!

Lets just face it, B&O LCD's don't make much sense just yet! Haven't seen the new BV7, but it is still a right rip off if you already have a B&O CRT.

I think the BV9 may be the new avant, in that it will eclipse the competition for years to come.
