Bang & Olufsen launches 3D BeoVision 7-40 with Blu-ray
Bang & Olufsen is strengthening its 3DTV ranks with the new BeoVision 7-40 model featuring a built-in Blu-ray player and active-shutter 3D glasses.
You can watch TV on the new BeoVision 7-40 in both 2D and 3D. And B&O has been working on making sure both look good on the updated 40in LCD screen with additions like the double-sided LED backlight and improved contrast levels.
The Blu-ray player supports the following formats: Dolby Digital 5.1/EX 6.1/EX 7.1/Dolby Digital Plus 7.1/True HD 7.1, DTS MA 7.1, DTS 5.1/ES 6.1, MPEG audio L1, LPCM and 7.1ch multichannel PCM.
And the player is BD-Live compatible, able to receive extra content via the internet.
The new BeoVision 7-40 will set you back an eye-watering £7600. Better start saving then. A 50in version is also available.

lhc, have now had a correction from B&O and while the previous model Blu-ray player didn't decode DTS-HD MA, handling it only as DTS 5.1, it appears the new one does. Specs in the news story have been updated.
So hang on, does it or does it not decode DTS HD (Master or otherwise) 5.1?
