Beovision 10 - 46 Dont bye it :-(

I've had BeoVision 10 46 inches in 6 months.

It is the worst television I've ever had.

I've had b/o for over 15 years but is now considering selling the whole thing and buy samsung or panasonic plasma, to get acceptable image quality. 

We had BeoVision 10 - 46 for 20 days but the dealer had to change it to a new TV because the sound making a cracking sound both when we were watching television and heard music. 

Since we bought it, it has also had the following errors
 
When we watch television at night in darkness and they are:
 

advertising with a black background
film on black background
DVD with scenes with black background
Source Change (TV to PC / DVD) screen is black
 
you can see 4-5 light columns (15 cm size) top of the screen divided into each corner and 2 in the middle. We sit in a normal angle and watch television and the light columns is not a normal change in brightness as you typically see on LCD / LED TV for instance if you change the viewing angle.

TV must be turned on for some hours to the fault can be seen

 

B/O have changed ledpanel 20 days ago to correct the errors above but now we have same problem again.

I've talked to a B/O distributor in Copenhagen and he looks surprised at me when I tell the story and says they have had 8 customers within the last month with the same problem and that in b/o know the problem and call it bleeding backlight !!!
 
In my view, a television of this quality / price could show a normal black level at the film / advertising etc. and therefore not acceptable that it does above. 

Why has B / O made a decent test before they sell it ???


I've had beovison 4 to 50, BeoVision 7 - 40, BeoVision 6 -26 and has never had or seen this problem before.

Think B / O has a pretty big problem in this television and the above panel. What will hapend when the pres get this info ?? 

I'll try to call my purchase back because we can not live with so poor a panel and television.

 

Sorry to hear you have been having such a bad time with the BV-10. There were a number of problems reported with earlier models which were also showing up on Samsung's own LED models. This certainly sounds like a screen-related issue. A friend of mine has just bought a Samsung 46inch LED model so I'll be interested to get a good look at that running.

I'm going to upset a lot of people here but I personally don't really see a big difference in quality between the old BV LCDs and the BV10. They are a lot thinner but the benefit of that seems to be poorer sound. Progress?

I've been monitoring mine closely the last few days, and it seems to have two lighter spots when the screen is dark, they are at 12 o'clock, about 10-20cm in diameter...

 

I will talk about this to my dealer. I'm not too keen on the idea of having my brand new TV off for repairs for weeks...

 

Otherwise I love the TV, startup is a bit slow though.

 

Mine is doing more than fine!

No problems at all. Agree on the startup time.... Far too long......

Sorry to hear that your unhappy with the BV10.

I had mine retrofitted to have the cracking sound removed.

It also improved the ghosting phenomena.

You can see pics from the retrofit here. Took the service man about 30 minutes to fix.

I'm about to have my 2010 BV10-40 looked at by a technician because of the clouding/uneven backlighting issue. Apparently 'it is due to a PCB heating the LCD screen'. There is a 'cooling kit' available. I'm guessing this is the same part Hiort refers to above. I don't have the cracking noise problem however.

I'm not keen on having my near-new television dismantled. A firmware update is one thing, but pulling the screen off is another...

Have others found the 'cooling kit' solves the clouding problem for them? Or should I do what i have been doing (pretending I can't see it!) and keep my television intact?

I wonder how BV10 owners in Melbourne coped with our run of 32C, 34C, and 35C these past three days.

Not at all !!!

At least I don't think so ...

My comment was about overheating - what point is there in having a "cooling kit" that given the dimensions of the BV10 can only be a heat sink and/or fan if the environment is already very hot ?

In fact I was wondering if some of the BV10 issues are coming from european owners who like their central heating hot.  I physically can't cope with overheated rooms and stores ... I sort of get nauseous ... but on the other hand I relish natural heat whether it is humid tropics or dry desert.

 

I think Dave was just being semi-flippant (he lives in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland) about the enormous floods that are covering Queensland, now I accept that Australia is a sparsely populated country, but we do have a major homes, property and livestock disaster underway.  Fortunately very few lives have been lost (the benefit of being sparsely populated).  

So I think Dave was being ironic and saying that a few imperfections are minor compared to the loss of one's home.  Following this link to the story below :
