New BV8 40 - first impressions at home

59 replies

I come from Holland. I have the same problem. Even when the sound stands on 32 I heard on the background the fan who's working.

When I put the bv8 out and then on again than is it 30 min. quiet. After this time I hear it again.

have you asked a dealer??? Because it isn't oke.

Hi aweicc,

Nice photos! Can I just ask what is being displayed on the BV8. I have a PS3 but cant see what you're seeing now... is it controllable with the beo4/5?

Ohhh, you have to notive that there are no build-in DVD or Blu-Ray player in BeoVision 8-40

I have also had mine BeoVision 8-40 for about two months, and together with my BeoLab 9 as front and BeoLab 3 as rear, it is just a fantastic setup. Stunning picture quality, and try to look at the black level, no other LCD can compete.

I am using the DVB-HD module, and it is really great looking menus, and the digital picture quality is just great. Ok yes you don't have fast change from one source to another, but i don't see it as a problem, it feels releaxed and casual, so the picture and sound is equal on all channels. Espacially the level of sound, it's just perfect that it is automatically leveled.

timhanna, its actually XBMC that I have installed in Apple TV.

It is for watching ripped movies without converting them into apple friendly format, and yes it can be controlled using beo4. 🙂

Yeah, I mentioned it to my dealer a few times already and each time they promise to send someone over to check it out.   I am still waiting.

So no one else can hear the "click" "click" "click" noise coming from the back of BV8 ?? or when you first switch on the tv for the first time each day there is an audible "click" "crack" coming from the back of the tv as well.

hi thorngaard is it possible to see a picture please of your bv8 40 tv configuration with your speakers as it sounds like you have a good setup.

doesn't suffer from any linkroom issues, doesn't result in hissing speakers when there is no picture and so on. The key advantage of the MKIV is the updated panel (100Hz does make a difference

Hi Moxxey

 

I am sorry to tell you, but the delay is ALSO present on MK III, OR BV9.. Anything digital that needs processing will (almost everytime) require a delay on your powerlink and therefore a difference between mainroom and linkroom..

Hi Markiedee,

So sorry i haven't been in here for quite a while. Of course i can shoot a picture from my setup, Although then i have to do some cleaning...........UHHHH.......that's a tough one 😁😕

I will see if i can do it tonight.

This is correct. I can confirm that I too experience short delays with my 7-40 Mark III setup (with Apple TV, PS3 and Sky HD attached). Same with link to 6-26 in bedroom.
