Absolutely, the black level is way better, black is really black and not dark grey, also the contrast is much better. I used to have a BV 7-40 MKIII and own now a 7-55 (with led ofcourse) and the picture improvement is noticeble.

OK, then we have to wait for a BV7-40 with LED backlight, or better for a BV7-46 with backlight and internal harddisk (my wish for christmas!).

When will BeoVision 7-40 come with LED backlight? Any rumors?

Or put in another way: How long can B&O continue sell a TV of the BV7 class with just a light bulb backlight? We are in 2010.

One doubt: Does LED backlight really make a huge positive difference?

 

I ask myself this question every morning when I check the specs on the BV7-40 at the B&O website to see if they have changed it yet. This is now the only thing holding me back from making my purchase. I've been leaning toward the BV10 lately as a result, but I still prefer the higher stance of the BV7 next to my BeoLab 8000 speakers and BeoSound 9000.

hi hungedu if i was in a position to get either one i personally would go for the bv7.

My guess this will be a year if the MKV has just been released. I was thinking of upgrading to the BV10-46, but then parts of this TV will be a downgrade from the BV7-40 (especially the sound).

Mind you, comparing a BV10-46 and BV7-40 recently, which were side-by-side, I didn't notice much difference when viewing the same HD image on both TVs.

I think the picture of the BV10 is outstanding - but the sound is poor compared to the BV7. I'd wait.
