Beovision 7-55 or beovision 12-65

I and I'm guessing most customers judging by the poor sales, never liked its picture or black levels. It would have been interesting to have seen the Avant using its frame and stand, as that was the only appealing bit for me.

Beauty in the eye of the holder and all that.

I think the problem with the 12-65 was the price....more than 2X that of the 11-55. Having said that one of the B&O salesman mentioned to me that production stopped due to new EU power consumption regulations for TVs produced in the EU. As I recall the PQ on the TV was superb, a level above the 7-55 and 11-55 in my opinion.

Agree, it was too expensive! But I bought it anyway due to perfect size and picture quality. I also like the fact that BeoSystem is separated from the panel. Made my upgrade easy to BS4 when NG was released.

Monewise I've lost BIG time on this telly since I bought it at old retail price 😮

...but then again - no other telly fits my needs so well. Still!

However, I'm really glad their pricing policy has been revised for their new products. Looking better and better for B&O 🙂

Not in the UK it wasn't. A BV11-55 on a stand was £10K, the BV12-65 was £13.5K. That was a good price for me.
