Slowly but surely, the BeoVision 8 is creeping up into big screen territory. Bang & Olufsen's latest iteration, more casually known as the BV8-40, pulls those LCD TV edges out to 40-inches diagonally and features a lush 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution. Other specs include 500 nits of brightness, a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, a digital TV tuner (for those in DVB regions) and a pretty swank set of internal speakers to boot. All we're told regarding pricing is that the MSRP is "attractive," but we get the feeling it's only sexy to those who aren't concerned with zeros and decimal places.

Didn't they go out of business? I'd bet its super expensive.
Sounds like an average LCD to me......
^Yes, what? Never heard of this BeoVision before. Is it just their high end?
Everything B&O is expensive i doubt there is anything in fact special about it except the tag
The fact that it's an HDTV and NOT a monitor is probably what they're hinting at. I'd think you guys may have made that connection by now..
Looks pretty cool.

Off Topic: I got a new avatar. Flapjack is awesome. Overall Enthusiasm, Overall Enthusiasm, Overall Enthusiasm, YEEEEHAWW.

(If you don't get it, it's a part from that episode and that basically what the picture shows...Overalls with Enthusiasm written on it...Overall Enthusiasm

Just the name - it is like any other designer product. Do my Oakley sunglasses shade my eyes significantly better than a pair of Under Armor ones? Nope - but they look nicer and have a name with them.

I'll take a 55-inch Samsung and save money.
I've seen this in action the only difference i see between this and my 52" Samsung is the sexy speakers... just beautiful sound but I dont think most people will hear the difference... and for all those people saying worthless and what not Chipp is exactly right brand name man thats all... Samsung i think is the only big name that keeps its prices down... look at Sony or Armani Exchange (I can get the same jacket without the big A|X on it for $400 less
)
