Isn't this problem 'par for the course' with an edge lit LED TV?

Namely,non uniformity of backlighting,because of the edge placement of the LEDs,producing a 'cloudy' effect.

My BV 10-40 also has a little bit clouding, but my new BV 7-40 3D not (and really deeper black).

Terry, Räuber, Andreas,

Thanks for your comments. Indeed I also believe that the way the screen is build (i.e. edge lid LED) can not outrule any small imperfections.

Todat the service man from B&O came an he replaced a rectangular metal plate that sits on the back of the television screen (top). It should avoid that the TV (screen) gets too warm. However if this was not sufficient I could request a screen change.

Let's see how it will go.

Hi all,

Watched a movie tonight and the image seems to be better but not 100% perfect. One colour background images still have vertical nuances (bit darker and a bit brighter) at the top of the screen. If it -ultimatly- will not irritate me and keep me from watching TV than I will leave as is.

And with Beogreg's comment in mind, I also tend to believe that this will not go away 100%. Of course I can say 'I will never buy a TV from B&O again' .. but with my BV10 purchase I wasn't planning on that either for the next (many) couple of years 😁

For this kind of money you should expect and receive perfection. 

If the picture has serious problems where on earth is the suposed B&O superiority that we are all told about so much and happily pay for like lemmings ?

I was seriously considering a 10 , now I'm starting to rapidly go off the idea.

Can you not ask B&O to swap out the TV? They did that twice for me when I had lots of BV7-40 MKIII issues and then my MKIV broke down completely and they brought me a brand new MKIV.

I bought a brand new BV10-46 in December and there are no clouding issues here, so they've definitely fixed the issue. If you get them to swap it out for a new BV10, the newer model should fix the problem.

Be more assertive with your dealer. Tell him that you're going to claim under the Sales of Goods Act that you've received faulty goods. Under warranty they should get it fixed and sorted out. 

I've had my BV10 for over a year now...

I'm sort of indecisive about what I should do after the fix of your TV didn't remove the clouding a 100%.

Luckily there's a 3 year warranty! 😂
