The BV9 comes with an excellent picture, hardly any negative remarks with respect to picture reproduction (compared to the LCD line up) and I would go for it.

Hi Rob,

i would also suggest you to go for it. I´ve got a BV9 in FullHD for over 1,5 years now, and i still feel good with my decission, although my price was much higher that time. There are no major complains, but it sometimes needs a second try to turn on the picture, and the software does also look a little bit to early released, if you understand what i mean. There is no question, that it works, but try to get it updated.

Most time i use the internal Satreceiver and DVDs, and the picture is very good, so there is no need for HDsources. I also use Blueray, but the improvement is questionable at 6m viewingdistance. The internal HDR picture is not that good, but nice integrated.

Hi Stephan!

Do you have 6 meters viewing distance? Is it OK, doesn't the picture look small?

I my self have 6 meters. I love BV9 but believe 50 inch is to small. Waiting for BV7-55, but I'm worried about the picture problems discussed on this site for BV7.

BV4-65? Nah. Cant justify that amount of money for something I can get at a tenth of the price.

What you have described is exactly my plan 🙂

I too have an Avant 32 DVD, and is going to buy a second hand BV9, ( when I have enough money that is 😮).

Hi Rob,

If there is nothing wrong with the Avant and you love it like we all do, then just keep it and get some speakers instead!!! :)

I am so tempted to buy a full HD BV9 for ca. 8.500 - 9.500 EUR. The prices in this part of the world seem to have ditched...

Wow, that's crazy. That's less than *half* the UK price. Over here, the BV9 is around £16K, so it's a steal at EUR 8500.

It's going to be interesting to see how they price up a BV10-46+ when that arrives, next year. Not sure how they'll be able to justify the price of the BV9-50, when a BV10-46 will be much much cheaper.

Is 16 000 £ for a new or used?

But 9 000 € must be for a BV9 on the second hand market. But anyway, that is very cheap and I wouldn't hesitate to get a full HD BV9 for that price.

I am glad to see that you all share my enthusiasm. We can now jointly bid on Ebay and drive up the prices :-)... The last 2 BV9s sold for 7.150 and 8.801 EUR on Ebay (both newish and full HD). There is currently also a model type 9710 being auctioned. These will not be the last - I am sure that more will come our way. The last auction ended at at 1am - I fell asleep on the keyboard. On the other hand you never know which of these things are hoaxes. I have been scammed on Ebay before with B&O stuff - fortunately I did not loose money.
