Not quite as well recieved as the white BC6 then... 😂

I'm wondering about this "camera" -- do I really want to be reminded, regularly, that my screen is degrading? Given what it cost in the first place?

Discuss! 😁 

Glad to read that they remembered to patent, this time 😕

PS is every 100 hours of viewing, regular? 

For me that would be every month 

Dear All:

 

I am getting use to the BV 7 & BS 3 in one unit.  The BV 7 is doing fine and so far, I have enjoyed dramas, action, thrillers, sci-fi and educational videos.  The  BV 7 has performed well.  I experience fludder in one movie but I think it was a function a poor DVD.  

The blacks are not as deep but are very nice and dark.  I am more impressed with the sound processor.  The set up is made up of BL 9 front, BL 3 rears & BL 7-4 center; the Bl 9 are impressive during moving watching.  The bass and rumble is enjoyable.   The Fifth element was quite enjoyable.  

Granted, this is my first tele in about 10 years.  The current system is not set up to receive DTV or aerial signal.  On the design front; the set up is none intrusive and  being able to rotate and tilt the screen is a big plus.  

So far the experience has been good...

You have no picture. One needs to see it in its entire beauty. If possible how the camera arm is in operation. I think that is when people come from behind the couch. And then also, if you walk by your dealer today, he most likely won't have one to look at.

The rolled frame on the new range isnt a welcome improvement. From a distance it looks like plastic( it isnt) but it makes the unit look even bigger. Far prefer the sharper frame as before. And when the bl10 comes along it seems to match the old BV4 perfectly but not the new one!

I never heard of a consumer complain about the alteration of colours during the lifetime of the product. At a time when other manufacturers are introducing panels with double the life expecancy I would have preferred that BnO put the resources into this kind of improvement, which is far more worthwhile and renders this gimmick worthless. Or concentret the resources on always providing the latest generation of panel rather than 1 or 2 generations behind. Ok this new feature is a BnO first but in terms of picture quality its a flawed response to the present market

I have to agree with you on the plasma feature, 355f.

Getting regular "My expensive screen is fading" reminders seems a shot in the foot. As the feature self-calibrates every 100-hours, you could risk getting this reminder quite frequently, and at least every two weeks in most households with regular viewing patterns.

But I guess this is more of a "look what I1ve got" feature, more than anything else.
