Sorry to read about your disappointment, Scognamiglio!

I'm also a BV8 owner (26" version), and I'm very pleased with the set. I wonder whether it could be your signal? Or else a faulty set?

For reasons I won't touch upon in detail, I had a world of reasons to really dislike this television (B&O never liked any of the suggestions I made for marketing it before it was launched!) But I liked the set from the moment I saw it as a prototype, and decided to get one when they reached market.

I have a solid quality digital (non-HD) STB supplying a signal, as well as a DVI-to-HDMI cable from my Mac to the set. Both result in excellent images, with no pixellation or artefacts and great image resolution ...
I've run HD resolution signals to the set from the Mac, and that's flawless. I'd look into the quality of your signal - I had my cable company go over all the wiring and connectors, and that resulted in a most noticeable improvement.

Thank you very much, for all your advice.

My dealer showed me a mint condition Beovision 5 (non hd) for 6300euros. What do you think?

thanks again and happy new year,

Massimo
