That is true. But I am actually not sure if I have to pay this new BV in EUR or in 'Deutsche Mark'.With these specs, 10K EUR for a 55incher is a justified price. Solid investment into next 10 years of happy watching. :)

Well hopefully it will hit the market before DEM gets back. 😁
Most of us have a 'damn' Samsung panel in their Beovisions!And I am really satisfied with my inbuilt bluray player in BV7, although I don't know if it is a Samsung player.RäuberIt just doesn't make sense B&O putting a 4K blu-ray player in a TV - not in todays market/generation. Plus for people who want this format, surely it's nice to choose a brand that appeals to you (OPPO, Pioneer, Panasonic, Marantz) - remember B&O fitted damn Samsung blu-ray players to their TVs and be truthful, if you had the choice, would you REALLY buy a Samsung player? I hear 99% saying no!
If it was a Mk1 then yes it has a Samsung Bluray player, and yes it wasn't very good.The Mk2 was a huge improvement, and Oppo was mentioned when I asked, but never really confirmed.
It's the last BV 7-40 (Mk6). I don't know the brand of the bluray player, no infos in Service menue or elsewhere about this. It will be the same as in BV 7-55 Mk2, maybe Oppo.RäuberIf it was a Mk1 then yes it has a Samsung Bluray player, and yes it wasn't very good. The Mk2 was a huge improvement, and Oppo was mentioned when I asked, but never really confirmed.
B&O is a third class company. Produces just crappy products with damn Samsung things in it. The only exception is A8! It's a great product :)
I'm just laughing my ASS off...

Sorry guys not Oppo in the BVs - Samsung!
It will be interesting to see if this has legs or not. Just about every set these days has 3D support, every BluRay player I know of does 3D, and almost no one releases content in 3D or uses the 3D in their sets. I know plenty of people with 1080p sets who have never upgraded to a BluRay player. I predict that there will be a lot of people with 4k sets because the industry will push them who will never go the full distance and acquire 4k content.
High dynamic range has more potential to improve video, but most sets produced today won't even reproduce the dynamic range of regular DVD or BluRay.
Time will tell I guess, I might be wrong but it'll be interesting to watch. Now all we need for good entertainment is a format war, ala Beta/VHS and HD-DVD/BluRay.

Paul please don't degrade other people like that. You wouldn't like it if people insulted you and thought bad thoughts about you would you? As I mentioned before, there was A LOT of bullying on this site and it must stop immediately. It is very very bad for BANG&OLUFSEN's image and does nothing to remove the stuffy image of the brand that even yesterday newspaper mentioned!
If you can't say anything nice about a person, then seriously shut up! 😎
Definitely not the OPPO!
