I doubt anyone who spends that much on a TV is going to knock it - the opinions of those that haven't aren't going to add anything anyhoo! It's your money, only you can decide whether it's worth it to you. Check out the best of the Panasonics and then make your value judgement.

Go for it ! BV12 is amazing ! Don't own it but it's my dream ! 😳

Set aside the cost element. As I said, I'd swap my relatively new BV10-46 and this is an ex-demo BV12, thus discounted. Let's look beyond the price in this discussion, please, as I've got that bit covered above (trade-in, discounted ex-demo BV12). Put it this way, from a cost perspective, it's realistic.

I'm looking for opinions, feedback, if there is any.

I know people knock it because of the price, but when compared to it's Panasonic brother its a bargain. Personally i don't like Plasma but above all is the sure knowledge now that superior technologies are almost in the shops.

Stick to your own advice, wait three years and get a newer 10-46(OLED or whatever has arrived from the Sony/Panasonic partnership) Even better get a Panerai and blast round Bath having fun enjoying it.

I just have. A PAM 292 - black ceramic on brown strap. Was a good deal though.

Chris, I'll give it some thought. I was looking at the BV7-55 MKII and comparing the Wimbledon HD picture against the BV12. The BV12 has a more natural colour palette, with the BV7-55 looking much sharper. You could pick out the different shades of grass, whereas the BV12 was a much smoother image. I prefer the BV12 for most programmes, although sport on the BV7-55/LCD does look better as it picks out the detail more cleanly.

It's just an idea. Normally I don't bother asking for opinions! But I do when I'm 50/50 over something.

In which case, spend some time with the Panasonic VT50 (be sure to check it out in THX mode) and then make your decision.

Owwwww Moxxey how could you swap that beautiful BV10 for a plasma TV that looks just like well, a TV?  

I totally agree with Chris on this one!  Sorry but the BV12 just does,t do it for me and those disgusting BeoLab12 bling speakers, please don't get me started! What were BANG&OLUFSEN thinking????  Just gross in every sense!

I've swapped my BV10 for BV12 and I'm really happy with it. I use it together with BL1 (silver/black)

You can see some pictures here

hfat

Moxxey,

personally,I would not be influenced by the opinions of other people.

I have always preferred Plasma to LCD/LED until I demo'd the BV 7-55 3D.

If you have demo'd a BV12 against a 7-55 and prefer the former,and can accommodate a wall mounted TV of it's size,then go for it.

Why deny yourself the pleasure of a BV12 while waiting for new technology,like OLED,to prove it's credentials,and reliability.

The only thing I would query is why,given it's relatively recent introduction,a dealer has an ex-demo BV12 for sale.
