The 55" looks pretty small alongside the 85".

Quite amazing looking picture - even with a socalled HD picture from the tuner.

I guess you'll get used to the size of the speakers.

On the 55" everything except 4K sources is rendered at full-hd resolution. Which means that everything will look a bit pixelated on a 85" if it is the same. Anyone knows? I am a bit curious about upgrading but I think I should hold off at least a year or so because of the early hardware. But I really don't need 85" in my living room, a projector is probably a better idea. Annoying :)

Neither do I !

However out of idle curiosity I measured the impact if I were to put it where the existing BV is .... it is huge !

And I notice that it does not have a table stand ... because it is to heavy for the motor to lift (as oppose to rotate) ?

With regards to the stand, there was a comment about it being too small in comparison to the 85" screen.

I think this is due to B&O's choice to use the same stand for all sizes. I think they should have used stands proportionally sized for each BV. For me, the huge size of the 55" stand is what prevented the purchase.

Should be no problem. The huge screens of BV4 are lifted by the stand. My guess is B&O believe the tables could be to weak for the load.

The BV4 85" floor stand uses hydraulics and gas to help the small engines do the work easily. I doubt this can be fitted in a small table stand.

OK. But I still believe it would be made if the designers wanted a table stand for the 85'er.

Are the stands identical? The pole is longer for the big brother, but are the rest unchanged? What's with the top of the pole on the pictures from Canada? No top plate and there are something else there. Looks like the head of an iron golf club sticking up.

Thinking a long long way ahead, I hope the 85 does get a table stand as watching the 55 rise up, to make way for the speaker was pretty cool. I'm impressed by the stand, but it just looked more balanced on a table.

Hopefully one day the 55 will get a panel with local dimming too.

The thing sticking out of the back is someone's car key (audi?) that had a USB thumb drive attached and plugged into the set.

The man from B&O that I spoke to said the stand is thicker and heavier for the 85" model.

Thanks! I took a look at mine and realized it was above the easy access USB and HDMI. So guessed something like that.

Strange with the missing top plate.
