Introduction

The Prad editorial staff was given the opportunity to review the new LCD star by the renowned Danish manufacturer Bang & Olufsen in the course of a presentation. The service of this company actually extends to such a degree that any potential buyer that is honestly interested can have the device demonstrated to oneself in one's own home. All that this requires is a prior registration on B&O's website. The nearest B&O retailer will then approach the prospective customer. Unfortunately, the TV model was made available only for a few hours to us.

This device represents the top of B & O's LCD TV product line und its size is only outranged by the plasma screens of the same manufacturer.

The BeoVision 7 is a 32 inch LCD TV device with a built-in DVD player. It can be placed on the floor as well as on a table or be mounted at the wall. Different kinds of stands and wall mountings can and must be purchased separately. Additionally the customer is given the possibility to install an internal digital satellite receiver.

Scope of supply

In the basic set, the TV comes with the B & O speaker system BeoLab 7-1 as well as with the system remote control Beo 4. These are included in the base price. In addition, either a stand or a wall mounting is required. There is no compliance with VESA.
