BV 4-50 "upgrade" to BV9 ?

3 replies

Considering to change my BV4-50 to BV9. The BV4 is a normal HD panel and has the BS3 connected and a BL 7-2 speaker.

I can find several pros and cons - but I am still undecided....all boils down to personal opinions I guess....

I really like the completeness and design of the BV9. Never cared much for the BL7-2 although it does have a powerfull voice. But with the BL5's on the side, I think the center of the BV9 will be just fine. Kind of fed up with the split up of panel/eye/center/BS3 and Beomedia.An added advantage would be full HD (I think) - but I am really happy with the BV4 HD as it is (I play regular stuff from the BC2 and Blue Ray from the PS3). One thing in our living room would be the fact that the BV9 is not that kid friendly - where as the BV4 is elevated to safety. But the BL5's are surviving, so I guess the BV9 can too...

would like to hear what you think of the one vs the other.🤔

thanks

John

 

 

Personally, I would probably wait while enjoying the very fine setup you currently have. On a practical note: I don't know how old your kids are, but the reason they let alone your BL5s might be the speakers do not display cheerful and colourful cartoon characters, animals etc. These are very tempting to follow for the little fingers across the fine plasma screen ... if possible.
