I love my new TV, a lot of you won't, but there's finally a review online, so anyone who is interested can have a read.

A few bullet points below.
There's a trace of motion blur if we really had to be picky, but it really is very minor, and probably wouldn't even register with us were all other parts of the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 picture experience not so exquisite.
It's fair to say, then, that overall the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 has gone even further than we might have hoped for in delivering the sort of premium performance you'd like to see on a 40-inch TV costing upwards of £5,250
Remarkably the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 can also be partnered with as many as 10 - yes, 10 - external speakers, driven by B&O's own seriously clever and flexible TrueImage system. TrueImage can decode every surround sound system variant, and upmix or downmix it depending on the speaker configuration you're using.
Another excellent trick of the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11's audio handling is that it enables you to create up to nine different audio 'groups', so that you could, say, enable two rear speakers to function as a simple stereo music system during those times when just that part of the room is being used.
This is, of course, nothing short of jaw-dropping audio provision versus the puny sonic efforts built into the vast majority of LCD and plasma TVs. Indeed, the exceptional audio provision will arguably be enough in itself to justify the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11's high price for people who - rightly - consider sound to be as important a part of a good AV experience as pictures.
It's worth adding that all the processing in the TV is proprietary, developed in-house by B&O's regularly-meeting picture quality panel. And apparently the processing is extremely powerful, being capable of handling 125 billion calculations per second.
Let's keep this simple: the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11 produces the best audio performance we've ever heard from a TV
The Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11's audio is so good, in fact, that we often found ourselves using the TV to play CDs rather than our usual hi-fi system.
The best thing of all about the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11, though, is that it marries its instant design and feature appeal to one of the best picture performances and the best audio performance we've ever witnessed on an LCD TV.

I can totally understand why you love it. It's a luxury item and if that particular one floats your boat all well and good...but I'm surprised at 40". Maybe it's too much time with a projector, but that seems pretty small these days. We've got a 40" on the wall in the kitchen and it looks a wee bit small for a main telly.
