Wow, Trip. You know how to insult. 

Yeah, I forgot about that... 

I'm not shopping for a TV currently, I just mentioned it as a really good looking TV, at least for its price. It's really nice, specially with the "brownish" trim around it, looks like a picture frame, I know it's plastic, but so is the price of it. 

Just to qualify the debate slighty - how many folk would spend more money on audio equipement than video??

Do you value audio quality higher than TV picture quality?

Would you spend more on a TV than CD/Speakers or the other way round?

My own personal view - I would cherish Lab5's more than a BV7/speaker/stand.

DoubleU:

Puncher,

I must admit I don't care much about my TV's. I want flat screens, they should look somewhat good, but other than that I'm not too interested in the details. As to HD, I don't think I need it, my cable TV operator only got a handful of channels in HD, I seldom watch movies.

A surround setup of Beo is not what I'm after.

I thinking of getting an old Beovision5 if I find one in good condition. I'm willing to pay a premium for the design and look of it, knowing I'm paying only for the chassis since the innards are not nearly worth the asking prices. It's good looking and for the price of a used one, I'm sure I'll be happy with it. I don't see myself getting a HD TV, BR-player, but things might change.

I have the Lab5's and absolutely love them. I'm happy to spend a bunch of money on sound reproduction. It's what makes my boat float. 

Had any of you actually gone to Harvard you would realize what a crucial role sandwich pictures played.

Seriously, though. 

The Sony is fine but we wind up in the same pickle we always wind up in. You say that the Sony looks good? Well guess what, I agree. The issue, however, is not what the frame looks like or even what the image on the screen looks like. Looking good and performing well should be that absolute minimum standard to sell a product! Remarking that something meets this standard hardly warrants real estate on on a forum devoted to enthusiasts of another brand.

That's sort of where the sandwich picture came in. Randomly posting a picture of a not-ugly television by another manufacturer is nearly a non-sequitur, even on a thread about how we're going mad with our abusive pricing strategy.

🤔 I am sorry but reading the way Trip flippantly disregards opinions, and only admits being a bullish wannabe has left me feeling a little outa place, call it fragile or any self degrading thing but it truely made me lose any interest or desire to exist in beoworld, not a regular poster but a regular reader i am sorry trip but a list of points which i took along time to check and research in direct answer to yours, you fail to read as they do not magnify the sun that shines on your view of B&O, now that i only have a 9000 and lab 6000s left I feel I should leave this forum. Reading your posts makes me realise what is wrong with B&O with you its reminiscant of the last days of the Raj and I am growing to really loathe reading the antiquated viewpoint of a comic book convention level captain Kirk wannabe.

I am sure the forum admins will delete this, even though there is no swearies and it would be a little disctatorshipesque but for all the others many thanks it had been fun, I am proud of my purchase and had the money to buy a BV7 twice over when I went to purchase but chose what I chose.

Have fun

BS

i wouldn't let him run you off the site , although i do agree his pro bno rhetoric is faintly embarrassing in the face of superior affordable and compatible opposition

he IS a dealer after all , so who expects him to be in the 'real world' ?

 my fave cpt kirk moment was this ;

which says it all aboot the current state of bno and it's dealers.. 

Trip I don't know why you forcing Harvard so much....

Seams to me that all of us who was not finished Harvard don't understand ....

I'm talking about design concept reciprocal correlation between design elements, use of materials and colors. Let's neglect that tv is Sony, and put Apple logo on it! Somebody will have a different look of it, this is prejudice of the brand...

Or take of B&O and put Sony ?

I'm a B&O fan for my whole life and if I will have money I will buy it, buy it, buy it .....
