The BeoVision 8 range has been expanded with the addition of a new 40-inch model, the BeoVision 8-40. The BeoVision 8 range is described by B&O as “entry level” but even so, the new TV is quite well specified. It has a Full HD (1920×1080 pixel) screen with a refresh rate of 100Hz, twice the usual 50Hz.

The set lacks the glass contrast screen present on the more expensive BeoVision 6 and BeoVision 7 ranges but it does have an unusual loudspeaker system which uses a central down-facing woofer an addition to the stereo speakers to improve bass performance.

BeoVision 8-40 will be available in a choice of two colours: black or white.
