Hi All,
I am looking into buying a second hand Beovision 9-50 and I have a few questions:
- What the difference between Mk I, Mk II and Mk III ?
- How long would you expect a plasma to last? is it deteriorating badly after a few years compared to LED and LCD?
- Is it worthwhile getting a Bv 9-50 if I can get a Bv 10-46 for just a little more money? is that a better choice?
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this..
Thanks
Peter
Following this thread with extreme interest. Always always wanted one of these (and still do). Without a doubt it is my favorite TV (beovision or not) but unfortunately it is not going to fit in my next apartment. Sometime I WILL own one and I'm worried that by the time all the circumstances align, the TV will be too old to bother with.

Hi Peter,
My BV9 is a MkIII one:
Full HD and ACM (little camera which calibrates the screen every 200 hours).
Bought new on mid-2007, still strong and healthy.
I really appreciate the soft image of this set, far less agressive than LCD, more "Cinema" experience.
The built-in speaker matches my BL5 very well.
Integrated with a Moment, a BC2, a PS3 and a Tvix through NL/ML converter, all work flawless in all my rooms.
To be short, I'm really happy with this true B&O set... and no software troubles!
Kind regards,
Yann

Thanks Beoandy! :)
It was a typo.. I meant to write 10-46. sorry about the confusion! :)
Thanks for letting me know the difference between the generations. Didn't even know there was a Mk 5...

Thanks YannChris.
Good point there.. I have read a lot about all the software issues on Bv10 and 11..I will use a Apple TV anyways, so no need for any SmartTV features for me. Good to know its still going strong after more than 10 years. and I also enjoy the softer image that also handles a bad signal better it seems. Sometimes the new LED's are sometimes "better" than real life in the picture quality, which makes it fel a bit unnatural..
Thanks

Do not rule out BV 10 and 11 based on potential SW troubles. I had a BV10 and still have a BV11 and not seen any such problems. This may be confused with BV14 (using Android OS) that was initially plagued with problems.
Agree that plasmas have a nice soft picture.
