Do you have a need to spend a large sum of money for a new LCD display? You’re in luck folks – Bang & Olufsen have announced the upcoming arrival of their new BeoVision 8 40 inch LCD display for North America.

This new display has a suggested retail price of $5400 and features:

• 240Hz refresh rate
• Dynamic Contrast support which automatically optimizes the contrast based on the picture content of the scene
• BeoLink home integration functionality
• Extra video connections via plug-and-play module
• Front facing speakers for dialogue and down-facing bass speaker for extra oomph
• Retractable feet

Yes, you won’t even find 3D support in this display folks.. but hey, you’re paying for that Bang & Olufsen name and quality! (yes there’s a slight hint of sarcasm here)

Expect the BeoVision 8 to become available this summer.
