Thanks for the input. The speaker issue does not really matter between the two as the TV will be connected to a pair of Beolab 9s as fronts and Beolab 1s as rears.

Another question, any views or thoughts on the 9s angled stance,  i.e. having the picture not vertical as every other TV in the world?

Thanks! 

Hm,,, Thats a tricky question?? 😕

Bv7 LCD 1080p BS3 the new "Beovision Avant" and a very nice interior detail for your home.....: check

Bv9 Plasma 720p And also great impact in your living room, but not quite so good picture i think after comparing these two.

Hm, hm... My decision must be in a slightly favor for the BV9 i think... ?😕?  

But i now that you and your wife likes the BV7 , so suprise us with your decision mate ;)

Hello Razlaw, at what discount is the BV9 0ffered for?

 Thanks

I am interested as I am building a new house. Met my B&O dealer at my new place to plan the AV system. In my living room I was planning a BV7-40, but was thinking on maybe finding an HD BV9 at a nice discount. My dealer has one still in the showroom (last one)!

Just looking (🙂) at the screens, the BeoVision 9 for the movie and TV lover - the BeoVision 7 for those that love games and have their PC hooked up to it.

From a design point of view: If placed against a (large) wall, BeoVision 9 any day - but if the telly is up against a window/glass door the 7 would be my pick. Just look in the catalogue, too: B&O love to place the 7-series in front of something else than a white wall, it shows the "lightness" of the product.

But the BV9 can hide your BeoMedia, STB and the BeoCenter 2 connection panel without the use of a dedicated cabinet due to the huge front. This is a big plus: having a big wall with a pair of BL5's, a BV9 and the BC2 on the floor stand is a very clean look. Replace the BV9 with a BV7 and the new cabinet... not so chic in my book.

Not withstanding the different technologies there is a very big difference in screen sizes which if you like movies you simply have to have the bigger screen.

Plasma always produces an easy to watch picture of some depth- in fact a contrast ratio thats 4 times better than LCD and movement is less of a problem as well.

It depends what your watching as well. If its all HD but if mainly SD plasma all the way!
