I will shortly be needing a bigger TV and am still racking my brains as to what to get. Having had B&O TV's in the family for nearly 30 years nothing would make me happier than a 7-40, but even second hand £6,300 for a 60hz CFL LCD screen! My wife hates the 8, but i'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt, just.

The problem is that all what was tat and rubbish, has really picked up its game. Technologies are moving quickly, with OLED on the horizon even if i had the money for a brand new 7-55, would i when its Samsung brother is for sale at just under £2,000. £13,000 less.

 

Thanks for that chris my formula still applicable  then 😉

What kind of surround sound processors does the Samsung have in it?  What kind of Audio does the Samsung's built in Blu-Ray player decode? What kind of projector can the Samsung control? How does the Samsung's motorized stand work? Are the electronic curtains on the Samsung adjustable? How do you link the Samsung to speakers and other Samsungs elsewhere in the house? How many speakers can be connected to the Samsung? Oh that's right, the Samsung is just a TV with a great picture. 

Can someone please direct me to the forum for people who actually like B and O?

Nana nana boo boo!

Just checked the price at one of our major stores here in the USA. The latest 55 inch 240 HZ Samsung has a suggested price of $5999 compared to a BV7-55 at something like $12,000 without the BluRay. So, for twice the price of the Samsung marvel one can get the Samsung panel with all of B and O's extras. 

Farewell Austerity Thread and myths of B and O being overpriced.

Fair enough.

I guess in the long run B&O's quality will shine through.

Plus the design of the samsung's is pretty horrid.

i think the answer is simple. if you're dissatisfied with b&o then don't buy it. i've decided that for me...i just don't get enough bang for my bucks so to speak so for the next five plus years i am not setting foot in another b&o store. simple. when i think they have come out with something that i think is exceptional then i'll reconsider shelling out my hard earnt cash.

as for b&o's future i sincerely hope they don't go bust. i don't think they will. they have survived for 85 years and have got through quite a few recessions.

.

I hope they're steer through and hopefully more products for the champagne supping

If B&O is too expensive your income is wrong! 😐

Krises come and go but B&O will always be here!

Can you say that when you are 85 years old?
