Martin01, is there also news about a BV7-40 mk4; and if so will it have a 100Hz panel?

And in general: What will a 100Hz panel improve/change compared to our current 50Hz panel? 

Hi, beolab

I have read the Minhembio-thread about the screen. Nobody seems to know for sure if this is the screen. But maybe it is the same screen that b&o uses. But people talks about how good the picture is at this screen (old or not) and thats maybe why b&o uses it.

Hi,

about the new Bv7-mark IV, there are just guesses not facts, I´m afraid. Read my earlier posts here about those tests I have done with other brands "100hz-screens". Today you wouldn´t like to have a 100hz-software in your Tv. Maybe in a year or so, this will be good, but for now, the 48/50/60 hz that BV7-40 markIII will deliver is quit good.

I'm very satisfied with my BV7-40 mk3 as it is today, even without the 4.24 SW; but watch Bluray rarely (with my PS3) and see no problems/artefacts when using DVD...

Beolab, 

You mention that three years ago manufacturers measured responding time in half cycles. The article I cited lists a reference article at the end of it. Reading that article indicates full cycles are being measured, not half cycles. Also, the date of that article was July of 2005, three years ago. So it seems in fact both the article I cited, and the article that was used as a source for it, are in fact talking about full cycles. Also, the page I listed with the BV7 specification obviously is much less than three years old as it discusses the BV7.

Hi guys.

Interesting discussions, but maybe you can agree on this, relative simple, question ;-)

I have a Beovision4 (bs3 and panel D9) and use a PS3 to watch DVD and BR. Do you think that I will have any benefits going from my current sw 4.0 to 4.24 ? sw 4.0 is working very well, and if sw 4.24 is designed for panel D10 I may just get a more unstable solution.

Beolab:

Yes, but it´sad that B&o are using the selling "argument" why the tv is so expensive?:. It´s because of the panel are custom made for b&o and you cant´find it in other brands. And if a brand should use this special  panel, the TV set would cost the same or more as the Bv7 etc... Thats all a lie..

 

And when you wrote "it´s because of  BS3 ho makes a good picture" = Pixel Works DMX video processor are housing in the BS3...

 I can't speak to what you may have been told, but on the left side of the Atlantic, the story is not that the panel are custom made for B&O, but rather that the panel are hand-selected by B&O from the production runs.  B&O are charged a premium for getting these 'choice' panels.

Before you, or 355, or Bingo start saying that all the panels are the same, it should be clear that they are not.  No 2 things made by man, nor even in nature, are the same.  The analogy here is the Restaurant business.  The finer, more expensive restaurants are not satisfied to take whatever groceries their distributors deign to send them...they spend the time and money every day to have their people at the markets, because not all Tuna are alike, and neither are tomatoes, potatoes, or French red wines.  They pay top price for the best ingredients, take the greatest care in their preparation, and generally the results speak for themselves.  The same can be said for every Television coming out of the 'Kitchen' in Struer.  A Filet o' Fish Sandwich meal at McDonalds is $6, The Longfin Tilapia at Bonefish Grill starts at $14, and you don't get a drink!  Most of us could tell the difference...but is it really worth three times as much?

Similarly, your remark concerning the use of PixelWorks chips sets doesn't really address the issue either.  As you all know, Apple have been making their computers for the last 3 years or so using Intel chip sets, just like the rest of the industry.  Does anyone here really need for me to do a comparison between the BS-3 and oh, I don't know...Leopard vs. Vista?

anyone who believes that B&O are hand selecting panels off a production line that makes thousands of these a day is seriously misinformed.

If they go to that trouble why dont they choose the best panels available instead.??
