Hi Marcelo.

In the service menu I think there are some counters for viewing hours and such.

The dealer should be able to show you.

Also, the asking price for it (Motorised stand) is CHF 3500 (EUR 3060 or GBP 2660).

Interesting, I'm about to sell my MK4 BV11-46 and was going to ask for less than GBP £2660. It doesn't have a motorised stand though.

It's a very good TV. I have the black-framed edition, too, which looks fantastic. The advantage is you can hide an (old - not sure if it fits the new shape) Apple TV in the back, too.

I had forgotten that a black frame is available. My 10 & 11 are both aluminum. I don't know which version it is, I will find out on Friday.

I recall that the 4K and last-gen 1080p ATV's do not fit, but you could remove the enclosure to put them inside the BV, something I'm not willing to do though (also because I use a lot my Airpods via bluetooth to my ATV, not sure if enclosing the box in the TV is a good idea).

Price-wise, I think it is fair but I think I have some margin to negotiate (my gut feeling is that he gave a CHF 2500 discount to the customer for the new Eclipse). Also considering that delivery and installation are included.

I had the 10-32 in an aluminium frame. I miss the bright orange fret! Was my favourite.

My BV11-46 gets so little use. It's barely turned on. Will be interesting to look at the number of hours it's been used. Since buying it from my Bath dealer, I doubt it's been on for more than 50 hours in total.

My 46” has the black frame.

It’s nice but require some dusting 🙂

I bought it used from my dealer some years ago and never regretted. It’s a super Beovision.

Price is fair for a MINT example I'd say - stand & TV combined

Check the fret fabric is unblemished - no snagged fibres - as replacements are getting scarcer and prices rising.

MK4 will have WISA  - check it works OK - if important to you

Check the TV interface - DTT, D-SAT or D-CAB - make sure it's suitable for your broadcast source

Check if it had the HDD option - and if so - check it can record OK

Manually tilt the stand to full left & right extents and listen for gear grinding

The back has a lot of clip-on / clip-off panel to routes cables - just like your 55 - the legs can snap off these if its had a clumsy owner. Not a problem unless the TV positioning afford you a rear view, in which case these panels can then look messy.

Only the ATV3 will fit inside - and even then it's a snug fit - the ATV4 and ATV4K are too big. If you have a lot fo source boxes, then the STB System 7 clamp stand works well.

Oh, and check what model of BEO4 remote you will get - there are various versions.

Listen for audio pops & crackles on startup - I have a 46 and a 55 - both from the secondary market (Thanks LEE!) and both have a mild audible click when the speakers get powered up during boot. For my MK3 46 this has definately 'arrived' since I bought it 3 years ago. The 55 - which is an MK1 - and hence older - already has it. Do you have this on your 55?

Generally, like you, I've found the BV11 platform absolutely rock-solid and an amazing audio master / video master. Picture is stunning, and when fed bluray, gives 4K a run for its money for enjoyable watching.

All things considered, prices are a steal for the 'experience' quality you get - esp. when you look at the price fo a new Eclipse or Harmony!

Hope it works out for you

I have a thing for designer lamps.

Have two Caravaggio pendant lamps over the dining table as well 🙂

That is a really good checklist.

Maybe something that a Moderator can put on an appropriate place on the site?
