I got my 7-40 IV updateh to the new 200/240 Hz panel due the the humming issue with the 100/120 Hz panel in mk. IV. The new panel is better in the sence that the humming is gone and that great. But I have to say that the black level was a bit better on the old MK IV panel. Not a great difference, but you notice this when there is drak in the room. So better in one area and worse in another. Overall for me I'm more happy with the new panel as the humming was extreemly irritating.

Hi Ken

You could also have chosen the 100 hz panel without the hummingnoise that was used in the newer Mk IV´s. The humming was as far as i know only present on the first versions. I have also gotten the 200 hz panel and agree with you. The new panel has a "glare" that makes it never quite black, but instead a bit shiny. Furthermore the white spots drive me crasy, so i have opted my dealer for a new 200 hz panel, and if this is not better, i will have my "old" 100 hz panel fitted again.

As far as the BV 7 goes, remember that an updated version is not always better, as crasy as that sounds!!!
