For elegance, and if you are used to a plasma picture then the 12-65. For everything else the 7-55, but make sure it's a Mk2 version. If you are using supplementary speakers then that relegates the sound of the 7-6 to a certain extent. Is it going to be wall mounted to free standing ?
its going to be free standing with my beolab 1s just can't decide which one to purchase.
Can you not find one to see it in the flesh? I'm going to be rather biased so I'll just say make up your own mind, but do so on personal taste.
I am trying to find a store that has both on display
I've worked by B&O (as installer in the weekend, vacancies and sometimes I've worked at the shop)and would not prefer the BV 7-55 ... in my career there were 5 Beovision 7-55's (bluray version) which had an defect LCD panel after a few weeks... This is also a known problem with the 7-40 MK V bluray version... offcourse maybe the latest models are good controlled by B&O but to be honest... I think you've more fun with a BV 12-65 (NG)
You could better choose the BV 12-65 (NG) .. A much more better picture and better looking than the 7-55...
That's my experience :)
Good luck ! 🙂😐
Decided to keep my beovision 9 and purchased a new 11-55
The 12-65 is superb for everything, apart from support sport. It smoothed the grass more so than the 7-55. Ironically, the Avant's picture is closer to the 12-65 for this reason - it has the same fast-paced smoothing issue shared with the plasma.
But I love the 12-65. Massively regret not buying a wall-mounted version my dealer had for sale last year. Was under £10K! They are even cheaper these days, but floor-stand only. I can't find a wall-mounted pre-loved/ex-demo BV12-65.
11-55 is also a superb option. I'd go for this over an Avant, for now at least. And I own an Avant.

Most stores have got rid of their 12-65's, a while ago. They weren't popular. Can one be ordered? I'm not even sure.
I have the 12-65 and love it. Wasn't very impressed with the design at first, but needed to get a bigger screen for my new apartement.I love plasma any day over the other LED-panels due to the superior black levels. I was hoping for the new Avant to show me that LED can perform as good, but I don't think it does 🙁Still too much 'blue' backlit light for me.
