 Yes in the new catalog...

Beolab, there's nothing in the new catalogue about an updated BV7-32. Indeed, my dealer stated that there are no differences or improvements in the BV7-32 and the HDMI expander module isn't shipped as default with the BV7-32. However, whether a dealer includes the module in their BV7-32's, is another matter.

Where did you see these 'improvements' in the catalogue? There's no mention of the 4 x HDMI sockets, contrast ratio or anything.

Read the spec: It´s says: Bv7-40 and BV 7-32 = High Glare panels = Higher contrast ratio.

The US BV 7 doesn't have the high glare panel and only got 1200:1 against 2000:1 for the EU version.

My dealer has a BV 7-32 MK III with High Glare panel and i don´t now if it is a B&O HDMI expander box, but i assume that.

And the (new) BV 7-32 also got a new SW. It isn't any big updates but, my dealer says that B&o doesen´t improve a product if they don´t see any big improvements  in PQ. It would be waist of money. So the BV 7-32 MK III (b) are up to date... And i can´t see any BIG difference between the 32" or 40" in comparison. A slightly better image from the 40" maybe..

Regards.

the thing i find slightly worrying is that the hdmi sockets appear to be vertically mounted and unlike dvi they don't have a locking mechanism , so there's a chance the plug could fall out

has that happened to you yet ? 

With my heavy HDMI -> DVI adapter, the cable often falls out. Well, 'falls out' isn't the right word - it comes slightly loose, but enough to lose the video. I guess as the HDMI cables are fairly lightweight, the chances of them coming loose is reduced compared to my current setup.
Congrats - amazing TV.
Grey looks interesting - however I would probably choose silver, well for second tv as in your case - perhaps black or gray.

Enjoy your new baby and thanks for pictures!

Beolab, is the LCD screen still "blueish" ?

My BV7-40MK2 was that and thats was one of some issue that make me swap to BV9 FULL HD 

Mr. Ander(son), Beolab,
and others have any of you, any non-B&O devices connected to your
BS3-televisions?
Went to a dealer yesterday, almost decided on buying a 7-40
mkIII and Beo5, but was told that I wouldn’t be able to control e.g. a Sony
HDD. Without digital tuner I will never buy a DVD2 or HDR2…
Hej Beolab
Tillykke med BV 7-40 full HD.
Jeg går og venter på at min B&O forhandler får et BV 7-40 full HD hjem til mig.
Jeg bruger så vente tiden til at forberede et billede til "hjemme biografen."
Print ud, og læg det i glas og ramme hvis du kan bruge det.
