Those masters of creating products that never cease to ooze sheer, unadulterated desirability in such volumes that it seem wholly unfeasible, Bang & Olufsen, have announced a new model set to supplement their 26″ and 32″ BeoVision8 Series LCD TVs in the form of a 16:9 aspect ratio 40″ BeoVision8 offering Full HD.

The 40″ BeoVision8 LCD HDTV, apart from offering native 1920 x 1080 resolution support, comes with 100Hz (double frame rate) technology serving to reduce visible blur, as well as contrast improvement technology offering dynamic optimisation of contrast levels for optimum picture quality along with 3000:1 contrast ratio and 500 cd/m2 brightness. Additionally there’s onboard DVB-HD as well as stereo NICAM speakers supported by a down-facing bass speaker (subwoofer) the former of which, according to Bang & Olufsen, have been ‘tuned specifically for the reproduction of human speech’

“What we did was we moved the sound forward and up, designing the TV like a proper stage with an orchestra pit,” states David Lewis (the designer behind the new BeoVision8) in Bang & Olufsen’s press release. “This ensured the synergy between performance and design expected of Bang & Olufsen.”

There’s no word from Bang & Olufsen at the time of writing concerning either the 40″ BeoVision8 HDTV’s pricing or expected date of availability.
