Hello Beofriends

I need your help.

 

I have a Beovision 7 MK4 that I have the option to upgrade and really dont know what to do.

 

I can go for a 7-55 MK2 wih Bluray, table stand and 7-6 speaker or

a Beovision 12-65 with Beosystem three.

 

Both allow we to keep my cinema control and both are 3D.

Both TV's look amazing.

 

Please can you send me some thoughts as historically my BV7 has been the flag ship of my living room which demands attention when in the room and the 7-55 would do this also, also plasma has always had a bit of a negative feedback. the 12-65 would give me Netlink and on screen beolink gateway displays etc.

 

Any feedback would be great

Excellent choice of Beovisions imo. 

The choice is down to space and location. Have you a wall big enough to take the 12-65 without it dominating the room ?

Get both 😁 !

I'm obviously going to say 7-55, but I do like the 12-65.

Only one on the other hand has a fantastic all singing speaker, and built in blu ray speaker. Do you need these?

Shame we don't live in Olney anymore, as you could have popped around for a demo🤒

Hi Seanie,

a BV12-65 with BSys3 has no netlink (I suppose, that you mean NL - the successor of ML).

The 12-65, however would be my favorite.

By rhe way - if it now is with a BSys3, you can easily exchange that with a BSys4 later, if you would want to.

Hi all thanks for the responses

Would I get the on screen display that the Beolink gateway provides?

Which tv has the better picture?

For my taste 12-65 has better picture quality but it's too large. That doesn't mean 7-55 is not good enough. 7-55 has a warm picture against sharp 12-65 picture.

I have an Avant and distance to TV is 4,5 meter which is not small. I say 55" is the limit for me.

You have to have the bs4 to get on screen display.

Just goes to show you how differently we all view things, I would have said completely the opposite. Moxxey has a 12-65, and has seen the 7-55 enough to compare. Ask him.

The proof of the pudding will be taking your favourite movie to dealers who still have them in stock, and seeing for yourself.

The LCD V Plasma thing droned on for years, just like Android v I.O.S does today. One group are happy with their technology and love it, and the other side love theirs too but loathe the other side. Very strange

Hi there

Great reads thank you

If the 12-65 has NL does it mean it still supports my Beolink devices?

If I moved to BSys4 I would loose my SD distribution to my link rooms.

What does the 7-6 sound like compared to the 7-4

I am running 9's and 6000's with my 7-40
