I just realized the most "out of date" aspect with some of the new B&O products: they do not link with the ML!

Right out of the box, these new products cannot connect or itegrate with other B&O products. So the new product will be out of date as soon as the customer purchases new ML equipped devices, and the existing products look out of date because the new products don't integrate. Either way it is a problem and the lack of continuity in the devices is going to really be a problem in the long run. These dead end products make for a quick and easy sell without any hope of expansion.

I totally agree with John on this. I've alays thought large screen TVs were inredibly chavvy and rather council estate as statistics and trends have shown.

I must admit, if i walk into someone's house with a large TV, i tend to thinkt that they are rather uneducated. Do young people still buy televisions? From my Internet, laptop generation crowd i'd be tempted to think not and put it doen to a dying market.

Personally, i'd rather be at the gym, out surfing or biking but maybe that's just me :)

And what education do You have, that gives You the ability to judge other people that way???
Sorry -but i read your profile. Working as a model...fine - but do you need a higher education for that 🤔

Do young people buy tv's..? Yes -but maybe not in the circles where you move...
Bodybuilding, surfung, biking -then there must be little time to watch a movie -or read a book. (Do young people read books..? Yes -SOME do.) Maybe You should try it...👍

In this case the TV complemented the decor, but it wasn't the focal point. There's a subtlety to that distinction that, in my mind at least, is generally lost on purchasers of enormous screens.

But that's also why I prefer the BV10 on the easel stand. Looks like a work of art, particularly with a contrast red fret. Like a painting sitting in the corner of the room. Plus I don't have big speakers or anything else connected. Simply a BV10, on an easel, in the corner.

The BV10 with a red fret gets a lot of comments, all in a positive way.

Got to change my BV7 Mk3 , since I put a new D panel Samsung in the spare bedroom I can see the poor picture quality the 7  has . When I first got this 7 I thought the picture was great , I can only think the picture has deteriorated and am now looking for faults . Quite a bit of pixilation , most noticeable around words ( like the Sky banners ) and the black level goes from poor in the middle to very fogy grey towards the sides . Only had the set 3 or 4 years , has it got a fault or can I assume all LCD’s gradually die , but 4 years isn’t very long  ?

            Having said all that I will change it but stick with B&o , this is one of my main Tv’s and have quite a bit of equipment attached ( speakers , Sky ect ) and I like the style of the 7 and would annoy me to go backwards and have to live with Samsung all be it a good picture . What could I expect the cost to be if I traded up to the latest Bv7 ?

I have a mk3 and don't suffer any of those faults so maybe an individual panel problem(sales of goods covers up to 5 years doesn't it?)

The problem is that at the moment unlike any other period tv technology is changing and improving on a yearly rate. It doesn't endear me to spend £10,000 on a new 7 I have to admit. Up grading from a mk 3 to a 6 which I contemplated will cost about £5,000. You would probably end up with exactly the same chassis and a Samsung D panel!!!

Pity a panel can’t drop in like a toaster as new technology arrives . Think I will get a engineer to come and have a look , impressed with it when I got it and no comparison in style with other tv’s , got to be a problem with it , shouldn’t have deteriorated  that quick .
