Bang & Olufsen 40" BeoVision 8 LCD Flat Panel Television - 1956346
The perfect balance
There are many abbreviations to keep track of when it comes to modern televisions.
LCD, HDMI, DVB, Full HD… No wonder that many people prefer to remember just
one: B&O. BeoVision 8 represents the perfect balance between tested technology
and advanced features, between superior image and pure sound, and between inspired
looks and easy operation.
The great wide screen
Both the television panel itself and the internal circuitry draw on the newest
technology available, much of it unique to Bang & Olufsen. The automatic contrast
plays a major role, ensuring that the screen emits abundant light to match the
surrounding conditions and turning it back down as soon as you hit the room’s
dimmer switch. New screen technology helps cut reflections to provide even more
natural black levels. Finally, BeoVision 8 actually adapts the picture to the
content you are watching – whether it is a DVD movie or digital or analogue
TV signals. The overall goal is to provide the best possible image from all
sources and under all conditions – with minimal fuss for the user.
Big sound to match
We recognise your need for good sound from your television whether you are
a surround sound enthusiast or not. The compact BeoVision 8 cabinet is filled
to capacity with an advanced amplifier and no less than five speaker units to
get that clear and authoritative Bang & Olufsen sound. The dedicated bass provides
a firm foundation for movies and music, while the front units deliver incredibly
natural human speech. If you enjoy movies or high-quality drama series, you
need a television that can reproduce speech as accurately and clearly as possible.
And if you want the full digital surround sound experience now or in the future,
BeoVision 8 is ready.
Flexibility included
The compact integrated speaker cabinet delivers a surprisingly full sound quality
to complete the experience you get from watching TV or DVDs. With everything
integrated, you can find room for BeoVision 8 anywhere in your home. The retractable
feet support BeoVision 8 casually on the floor or on a traditional TV cabinet,
and we have wall brackets and an elegant stand programme that will cover all
your needs.
