Ah, that would be the Panasonic TH-85VX200! http://panasonic.net/proplasma/products/85vx200/index.html

Only $30,000 - much better price..... same thing.

I know it may look like I'm going back on what I've previously said... but is this really the exact same thing?

Massive price difference, granted - but the 85" being BeoSystem 3 based, it's surely better than the 'off the shelf' Panny?

I've seen the BV4-85 3D in action, albeit for about 5 minutes, at the factory in Struer - and was truly impressed.

65K for a TV? That's vulgar!!!

I'm with you a little, but so would a £50 meal for two be at a restaurant if you earned £10 a week in a third world country.  It's all relative to what you earn I suppose..

Stripping it down into actual cost of components, it's ludicrous - but when you've got the overheads of Bang & Olufsen you've got to make big margins..  Also, if you want 'cutting edge' you'll always have to pay top dollar.

If that's so, all you have to do is buy the frame, aka its designer clothes.

light the touch paper and run!

Does the BS3 cost extra?

I'd genuinely love to know how much time and effort B&O have invested in tweaking the internals of the Panny panel.

Hey Lee, why does B&O have such HUGE overheads?  Surely that's the worst thing for any company in today's business world?
