Beovision 4 worth the money?

Does anyone here own the BV4 50 or 65; I've pretty much got all B&O product except the panel. .

Is it worth the money, or would you all recommend the panny instead?

thanks

I didnt like the new BeoVision 4 in pictures, but in person it is a stunning screen. It really looks amazing.

Can someone provide a link to the new BV4 rounded off bezels. I am contemplating getting one. I hope they do not look like the BV9. I much prefer my current flat bezels on my BV 5.

 

Thanks 

 
Unfortunately B&O modified the BV4 the same way as the BV9. It's a matter of taste, but you definitely have more variety if you choose your own bezel. Not to mention how much money you save... Don't forget that you don't have B&O's automatic color management if you choose the Pana plasma.

I have to agree with Alex that I did not care for the new frame until I saw it in person.  The new BV4 65 is stunning, especially when paired with the new BL10.  The proportions are somehow more appropriate to the 65" panel and it seems very balanced.  I'm still not a fan of the more rounded frame design in theory but I have to give credit to the designers for creating what I found to be the most awe inspiring screen I've ever seen in the 65".  I had mixed feelings about the BL10 as well.  It seemed odd with the  50" that I keep seeing it paired with in pictures.  However, with the new BV4 65" it's absolutely perfect!  I still can't figure out why I've yet to see that combo in any of the B&O images.

The previous BV4 although beautiful seemed more Panasonic than B&O.  The new BV4 seems to have much more of B&O's fingerprints on it in terms of design, materials and technology.  I'd be much more likely to buy B&O for the new BV4 than the old one if considering Panasonic as an alternative.

The BV4 is a stunning piece of kit, excellent picture and a good set. However, the problem I have is that there's a massive price difference between the 50 and 65, so you need to work out if you need the larger panel. Also, don't forget you need the BS3 and a centre speaker, which means that the BV4-5 is around £13K with BL10.

If you're prepared to pay this, perhaps it might be worth looking at the BV9 which uses the same panel, has the BS3 built-in, the HDR and more?

My current set up includes the BS3 with a Toshiba 1080p panel and lab5s in the front, a pair of 4000s as center channel, 8000s as surround and lab 4s as rear; I love the B&O processor but am wondering if I'd really tell that much difference with the B&O panel over the Commercial panasonic panel. . or. . .to state it plainly is there $4-5k difference in the two?

Yes. The difference is at least that much.

One important thing to remember in addition to the picture quality is that with current ACM panels (all BV4s & BV9s going forward), your investment is safe. The ability to adjust chromatic values against the natural aging of the phospher in the screen means that it will look better on day one and continue to impress long after other screens have aged themselves out of use.
