woah, it has been a while...

That is a good question, and I owe it a response...

i would recommend the BV8 to anyone who uses a mac/pc frequently, watches a lot of movies, likes a larger screen, isn't too obsessed with resolution, and is okay with the 1 HDMI input.

Especially in combination with my other B&o Stuff I am very happy.  Just occasionally the slightly lower resolution isn't ideal..  For this reason I am always on the lookout for an affordable BV8-40 or a Beoplay V1, but with no urgency..

When i consider having only paid for ca 300 for the Monitor, gotta say, am surprised barely anyone goes this route..

all the best,

James

Hi, very interesting thread! I have just connected up my HP UltraBook to my Beovision 8 and its working great. Just one question....i want the sound that comes out of my PC to come out of the Beovision. The only outputs on the Ultrbook are USB. If i got a USB to RCA lead would that work?

Thanks,

Miles

I know I'm digging up an old thread, but I thought I would share here rather that the main "flash" thread. 🙂

Just came to say that the BV8-32 is still good enough for computer duty if you have the space and you can't decide on whether or not to do it. Also highly recommend if you are the type of person who listens to a lot of music while you work.

Some passers-by have told me the BV8 has transformed my desk into "full boss mode" 😐

Looks great and the sound will definitely be good.

It seems a bit far away from your seating position.

Is that ok for working - the panel of the 8-32 isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

It is farther away than a usual monitor would sit, but I think that helps a little considering the BV8 is at a disadvantage in the resolution department. It seems to be just fine for me though. 

I do everything from email and the usual stuff to CAD and [some] PCB layouts. 

Forgot to mention the BV8 makes for a great conference speaker as well.

Sounds good - could be a good idea - you can get the 8-32 real cheap nowadays.

What’s that little device left of your red mug?

Yes, they are a great deal. I'm thinking about picking up another just to keep around for spares or if I need to set up another desk somewhere else etc.
