Hi,

Everything has been said on this forum regarding its design but I would like to get some feedbacks from people ownig a Beoplay V1 on its picture and sound quality.

How good is it?

Thanks

Fantastic good value have one in the family kitchen wall mounted v140 great sound

It gets more use than the avant 55🙁

The V1's picture quality is pretty much as good as any other high end LCD, but not best in class. You won't be disappointed with the picture.

But the V1 has so much more going on than the picture. Whenever I think of my V1, the sound and integrated surround sound module comes to mind. The sound in the V1 is really great on its own, but I have a Beolab 14.4 connected to mine. The ease of use is just incredible!

Another thing is the IR-blasters. I love that one remote controls all my connected sources.

Those two things are the reason I can't go back to any other TV brand. Even though 4K OLED got my attention :)

How do you like the Beolab 14s? I was trying to find another thread where people speak about the sound, but I couldn't find much, so your opinion would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer to PM me that's fine to rather than me hijacking this thread with a non V1 question. 

Have the V1-40 in the bedroom along with a BV11-55 in the family room. Both brilliant TV's. Clearly the BV11 is a better TV but value for money the V1 beats it hands down - it does everything the 11 does at a third of the price.

My setup includes an Atlona Matrix so my sources are identical on both (love being able to start a show/movie on BV11 and finish watching in bed).

Go for it, it's superb as a second TV

Very pleased with ours especially the sound , without resorting to extra speakers. The picture is pretty good and virtually everybody who's seen it has commented. It does not have the super exaggerated contrast I find in other pictures and ,in white with a light coloured room , the TV itself is less distracting .

 

It is a good tv with a few adjustments the picture was spectacular when i had a home demo, a few things for me though which i don't like about the v1 is the hinges and the fact that it only comes in 40" 

if they lost the hinges and changed the design a little bit and introduced a bigger size i would definitely buy one and I'm sure the benefits would be increased with my beolab 14s connected to it.
