I also agree, I really love the picture quality, and will wait until all our TV signals in SD are available in HD (or higher) for all channels, but that will take many years.
And during that time, I will still have a TV with a great design, good picture quality and superb sound. And that will for me work for several years from now.
I just hope that B&O will have control over the quality of their software in the future.

There has been a fast development in picture quality over the 10 years since flat TV came. The picture has been much better for every year, but now we have a very good quality. The weekness is now rather the source (SD) but HD broadcast, bluray and Internet is coming more and more.

Well I can only support Daniels view here. I have now been the lucky owner of the 7-55 since Monday this week and I am still amazed by its picture quality. Of course it looks stunning when playing Blue Ray movies and also when looking at HD channels through Sky, but even with normal SD channels it looks very, very good. My receiver (Humax Icord HD) has an upscaling function, which removes much of the "cubic pictures" you normally see when making a closeup of such a large screen.

I replaced a BV7-40 MK I with this BV7-55 and for me there are huge differences in of course picture quality but also in the sound (I might be dreaming that, but it relly feels so).

I had the BV7-40 for 4 years and I do believe that the BV7-55 also have at least a 5 year lifetime. In the meantime you have a great TV with great Sound and great design - And though these TV's are expensive they also have a fair trade-in value which one should not forget.  

Remind me to ask you in 5 years if you still have the same LCD TV.

I never sell a B&O, and I promise you I will not sell a 20k € TV after 5 years. 😁

DVB-HD is for Freeview, not Sky.

Fair enough - I'm happy to be corrected, I have no particular axe to grind, it was more a comment on the current pace of modern TV (and broadcast format) development.

Just out of interest (I notice Trolle upgraded from his BV7-40 MKI within the 5 year period) how many members still have and are happy with their new bought BV7-40 or BV7-32 MKI's?

Welcome, my new 7-55 has just been set up in the living room with low stand, BL7-2 and BL2.
Looking farward to "play" with this TV today. 😕

can you post some pictures please????
