The samsung does have a tiny frame. But whats more important to you? The frame or the quality.....

Also, i advise you listen to the speaker system in-built in the samsung, you will soon make your mind up! :-)

Together with you BL8000 you only use the speaker of the BV10 as central speaker. I do not think the inbuild speaker of the BV10 will make a bad performance. If you use the BV10 without add. speaker, I would agree, but only as central speaker....

If you want to spend that amount of money, and looking at two completely different TV's... 

You have to ask yourself, which one do you want/need?

If I was set on a 55" TV in a big room to enjoy as a home cinema with surround sound, I wouldn't look at the 32" BV10 to begin with.

Think about it this way...

The 55" has an area almost 3 times as big as the 32"! 

If your room is big enough - buy the larger TV; 32 inch that was in the 80s;
bigger screen needs good qualitiy of your TV-signal; if you don't get HD be carefull...

You prefer a VERY BIG SsangYong Rodius or little (for exemple) SLK or Audi TT/A3?

You cannot measure style in weight....

How can it be style at 55"?

And not everything is about style nor weight. 

Size matters :-)

If your viewing distance allows or "need" a 55" TV set, go for it! I had a BV3-32 at the same place where the BV4-50 is now....never ever I would go back to 32" screen. The Samsung TV's are not bad at all and from a design point of view I think the thin frame is quite nice.  For your, the BV 10 is an icon, but size matters.... :-)
