Which BeoSystem processor were you using?

What was the source?

Are you taking into account sound quality, which is significantly better with the BeoVision 4?

If you're finding a 28" Avant plenty big enough, then you were probably sitting far too close to the 50", and hence the picture will have seemed poor.

Hola BeoBeo,

Indeed I have a BV5 but a home build driven by the BS3 as you can read in next Topic: 

/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beovision-11-image-processing-exhibits-quotslow-motion-effectquot-in-images-with-little-motion-on-certain-sources-andor-videos#post-2006929

It was my ultimate dream to have a BV5 but with the new technologie around, so I had to make it myself.

Regarding the frame it's peanuts to disassemble and reassemble, I have one at home for the moment because B&O is not making the steel frame anymore which holds the alu frame. My dealer asked me if I can forsee some additional ones because he has some customers who really would like to have a 42" plasma and B&O has chosen not to sell these anymore.

i have just sold my BV4-50" full HD and bought a yoused BeoVision Avant 28".

I must say that the television picture are mutch better on the Avant. I cannot recomand the BV4 hd-ready or full hd. It´s to expancive and to bad quality.

That's scary PierreR!

I own two BV3-32 and have been thrilled with them for years. Now my problem is that my living room is much larger in my new house, so the BV3 has become too small. I need a 50" screen, although a BV7-40 might do the job since the floor stand will force me to put it 50 cm closer to the point of view than the wall where a BV4 would be hanging.

As mentioned, this is a second hand BV4, at an interesting price, so I'm not paying the money for a brand new BV4 (if I had the money I will choose the BV9 instead, by the way). Yet I'm surprised you let a BV4 Full HD and are happier with an Avant 28! I'm with Alex that could have to do with your viewing distance however you make me doubt wether I'm doing the right thing.

Thanks for you input, really appreciate it.

I've read your project Beogen that's cool! Now let me know if you ever decide to sale your anfetaminized BV5! I cannot see the pics though...

Thanks;

have you see a samsung LEd TV ....

now i remember... few days ago I went to bestbuy

 I see it from 3m...1m...30cm.... then I can see it actor's wrinkle.I can count spot on face

source is Bluelay.. tv is new samsung LEd 42'.

I have a avant us...  It's amazing born 2001...still good

I looking for BV4-65.. I found one MK1... I need more information. but......

I think... I give up to get a BV4.... close to tv is still impressive

I don't see how you can loose with this deal.  As mentioned you can always upgrade the panel rather inexpensively and the frame is worth the hassle as a work of art on the wall ( I prefer the older frame as well except for the new 65").

SD content is going to look better on the 720p BV4 than the Full HD (and certainly better than LCD with SD),  and trust me that you won't be missing a thing from any comfortable viewing distance with 720p@50" as the picture is absolutely fantastic.  

I work with film and HD content for a living so I look at properly calibrated broadcast monitors all day long.  It's true that the Avant is absolutely fantastic and I love it in the lounge but if it came between the Avant and the crowd pleasing, game watching BV4 in the living room the Avant would be gone in a heartbeat.

Forget the panel.  You're getting one of the best Plasma/frame/speaker on the market and a video processor/master system that you can build your new house around.

If the panel gives you any issues... toss it for a brand new Panasonic that will be indistinguishable in the new frame.

Very encouraging Michael, thanks.

As said SD content is important to me seems like the 50" plasma won't be an obstacle there and certainly not a downgrade when comparing with Full HD BV4 plasma playing SD.

The capacity to replace the panel with a newer one and the Beosys3 being modular and upgradable clears my evoution concerns.

I guess this is a no brainer decision?

Thanks kinban. It has to be B&O or powered by Bsys3 which I don0t have yet. Otherwise I won't use my BL9+BL3 lodspeaker arrangement, leave alone the link features.

Thanks;
