First impressions:

I´m so happy with the image! It´s much brighter than the MK II and the picture are stunning with all sources!

The artefact's on the old BV 7 are blown away! And the Philips Natural Motion likeness have also disappeared in to the blue! 

 

I have discovered in the service menu that this panel are a (Samsung) and called LTA400HS-LH2. (High Glare panel)

If someone want to read about the panel just click on this link: link

( all samsung panels listed in the main menu)

You can also have 10 speakers plugged in at the same time if you wont!

And if somebody wounder i have my BV 7 MK III in my bedroom just for now. Because the Bv 7 MK II are standing in the living room at the moment. Bv7 = Are a bit  heavy and hard to move around...

 

I don´t now how to upload multiply pictures? Please help me! ;)

 

 Links to my pictures of the new Bv7: (And one pic on the old MKII Silver one..

Dear Sir:

May I ask, what made you choose the dark gray colour?  It is one of the options I am contemplating versus the regular aluminium.

I picked the Dark Grey because i think i have become board and tired of the silver. It is too big contrast between the black glass screen and the silver i think. Now it fades better.. First Black(screen) then it fades to dark Grey then last the silver stand. I find much more exclusivity and a calm mystic feeling about the dark Grey finish.. It´s looks more clean and more "expensive" than the sheep silver.. 😕   

In these two links you can see the difference:

1. My Silver BV7 MK II: link

2. My Dark Grey BV7 MK III: link

(The pictures are a bit noisy because of my mobile phone)

Thanks for the your reply.  I am thinking of getting the BV 7 w/ BL 7-4, and floor stand.  I do not like the way the other speakers stick out.  

Enjoy, lovely piece.

Thanks for sharing your photos Frederik. The decision I will have to make next year, BV8 (cheaper, better for the WAF), or BV7 (higher quality, comes with the higher price tag)... But I would have to commend you on the dark grey choice of color. As a B & O finish purist, I would have to agree that the grey is awesome!
