It's been a long time since we had a B&O television in the house, we used to lease one in Swindon which was great as it was serviced and replaced when a new one came out. As i don't know of anywhere which offers this i'm now looking to invest some money in a newer bigger television.
Having visited Newcastle's shop many times i always have a peak at the Beovision 8 as it is possibly the only product within my budget, but i always get sidetracked by the Beovision 7. It has a real sense of occasion and quality the 8 just doesn't. I would currently rather spend £2,000 on a top Sony etc than spend £4-5000 on an 8 that apart from it's sound doesn't really offer anything of exception. BUT i would spend 5-6000 on a used 7-40 with all it's cosmetic and screen appeal. To me as an amateur it is what a B&O television should be.
Would i feel hard done by when the mooted new LED backlit panels arrive, as i much prefer the clarity of the LED type screen and end up regretting it? I see a 10-40 used now for sale and although impressed by the 10 and i get the design etc, again i end up looking at the 7!!!! I suppose i am answering my own questions really but has anybody else been through this process recently and what's your opinion? Will the 8 get a new LED panel?
Any experiences or advice appreciated.
