Hi guys this is my first post here on beoworld. Me and my girlfriend just got the v1 but have had issue's with motion and movement. Everything from blu ray to tv, we had the guys from B&O come last night with a new set and it had the exact same problems. They have taken both tvs away and are going to log this with B&O, i was wondering if anyone else had any problems/issues with the V1?? The guys at B&O norwich have been fantastic! I cant rate them highly enough, just an utter shame the tv at the moment doesnt seem to be up to standards at all :(
V1 Problems!
Welcome Jimmy!
Sorry to hear about your problems with your V1. I've had mine for about 3 months and it's been fine except for needing powering off and on maybe twice - I'm very happy with it generally. Can you be more specific about these motion issues?

It was ghosting Really badly, worse then ive ever seen any tv ever. Imagen someone walking and the camera moving and the person is moving, one second the persons eyes were in the head the next in the chin lol smearing everywhere almost totally unwatchable, the guy from B&O was i think a little shocked at exactly how bad the problem was, and this is on 2 sets through the same playstation we use else where and never have a problem. They have been brilliant at trying to sort things for us, i actually (dare i say it) think the tv is incredibly good value for money. A tv with a built in speaker which is amazing and a processor for the surround sound plus all the other bits is much better i think then a non B&O product. But it doesnt have things like 3d which doesnt actually bother me, but still at £2500 for a 40" the one thing it Shouldnt have a problem with is picture quality i think that really is where it should Excell!
Hi jimmydean were you experiencing motion blur or juddering or even what looks like people moving in fast forward motion ie: soap opera effect?? reason for this question is because the v1 might have the motion enhancement switched on which can cause a bit of motion blur and the other symtoms i have just mentioned.
Also what is your resolution settings on your bluray player have you set it to the right output in the menu 1080p-24hz if you did these things then please ignore what i have written.
Hi Jimmy,
I had not exactly the same problems, but I solved them myself with following strategy:
1. Switch to Picture Mode "GAME"
2. Turn off the WLAN port of the V1
Now, I have no problems watching from my Apple TV or other HDMI source.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Shame the game setting isn't actually any good for 'Games'
Not only is game mode no good for games it also robs the tv of any kind of quality, ive seen tvs in the 100's that look as good. Almost seems pointless spending that kind of money to have the picture quality of a set many times less :S i shouldnt have to turn this on turn that off lol i want it to just work, most of the time im streaming things to the tv so i cant turn off the wlan setting
Yes, you are right. I have support request pending at B&O but so far no answer that is satisfactory. Probably we need a software update.
Cheers,
The guys at the shop wanted to take the sets away and ship them back to denmark. I believe on the 10th october a new set is coming but the "40 is around the £5k mark so Double the cost of the V1. Im not sure i want to pay double the price for a tv as the V1 doesnt work right. Im totally stumped for ideas as im tvless and playing the waiting game :(
I'd save up for a better TV in the B&O range . The 7 & 10 are in a different league.
The problem with cheap B&O kit is that it's just cheap - the same can be said for much of their stuff going back years - Beocentre 2000 from 1980 was cheap plastic crap when it came out , and some of the cheap nasty stuff b&o produced in the 80's is beyond belief.
You really do get what you pay for with B&O.
