Haha! Yes, white is my thing but I have actually ordered it with the aluminum front. The alu fronts will come in January but black works quite good.

You get the feeling that the screen just keeps going down into the speaker front due to the Bezels are so thin. 🙂

Thanks! I actually ordered the alu front but got the black one for free due to late delivery.

My dealer talked about the forged grey colour would be nice. I was also into to the Persian night blueish.

But I did the "safe" thing and went for all black.

Same here, i ordered the alu front but have to wait. So i wanted the red front cover, but that wasn’t ready either although it was supposed to arrive. So now i have a black one too for the time being. The red one should arrive soon, mostly picked it for the holliday season anyway 😎

Congrats EVA - looks great, enjoy!

EVA, is that a 55 Eclipse?

Looks terrific!

Impressive setup Erik,

Curious about actual details on the sound. Do you feel the Eclipse sound bar is almost unnecessary in your setup,or does it really perform as a centre channel that well? After all its about the cost of a single BL5.

Thanks Beoaus.

I’ve been testing etc but so far the tv works fab with my bl50’s but even on its own(night watching etc) it’s really good. The missus even commented on that today, that the tv alone is rather impressive sounding. Also as a center it is much more inline volume wise/clarity than my last setup.

I’ll do a more indepth write up on both sometime soon.

Interesting conclusion !

Can you walk me through your calculations ?

Sure,

Beolab 5's are priced in Australia singularly. Say $16,000 AUD each, double for 2.

A Beovision Eclipse 65 uses the LG Panel at about $5,000 separately. Ad the BL5 speaker cost from above to the cost of the standard LG panel and you are below the cost of a 65 inch Eclipse. I know its not a workable solution and the stand is not considered, though the speaker on the Eclipse is where most of the money goes which I do need to understand. Especially for those with existing separate multi channel speaker setups, like myself.

Just my strange mind working overtime, plus its loosely calculated.

Cheers, Beoaus.

Yes, the 55". The 65" is actually Very big IRL so the 55" fit in perfect to our home.
