It is not the 55" that are too big - it's the tv!

It was originally designed for a 32" screen.

If you boost that to 55" it simply becomes too massive.

Too much glass - too little picture 😠

Ok, some people like that - I realize.

I just wanted to add my point of view to the conversation.

I see what you mean now, MM. I think it is quite "big" in that sense, but still aesthetically beautiful.

If the room is that big - a 55" screen is not big enough 👍👍

Beautifully done! Now that is the kind of style I am talking about :)
Love the wood burner, and... the position of the BS9000 is just right. Well done! A nice uncluttered, neat space with lovely views.
It would be interesting to see how the BV7 looks aestehtically on the lower floor stand too, but it does look great as it is.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Everything in that room is from Scandinavian countries. They are all a long way from home.

The 7-55 is indeed a beautiful TV, but as said you need the right room for it. The 7-40 was better proportioned. I almost bought one but then the 11-55 came out, and it was a better fit for my living room. And thinking about it I don't think the 7-55 would even have it into the service elevator in my building, as the 11-55 barely made it in. But great room in Belize, 

i saw the Avant recently. Really great stand, but aesthetically the TV did not work for me. There were a number of BV11s in the store and they looked great with several different speakers. The Avant by comparison was just an uninteresting black rectangle. 

Hi,

I have a Beovision 7-55 mark II (3D). I have compared this TV with both Beovision 12-65 and Beovision 11-55 and Beovision Avant 55. I have made the comparison with the same Bluray-movie (i.e the same input source). It is very clear that the Beovision 7-55 Mark II has the best picture when comparing with the other TV:s above. The "best" picture include: contrast, panning, accurate colours, refresh rate, and much more.

I have also compared the Beovision 12-65 with both Beosystem 3 and Beosystem 4. The Beosystem 3 is the winner when we talk about picture-quality. Picture is a little bit more sharp and deep with the Beosystem 3 compared with Beosystem 4.

I must say that according to my opinion, the BV 7-55 mark II is the best TV B&O ever made. But I understand that it isnt easy to sell this tv at the pricepoint they did. But Beovision Avant don´t have a better picture than an Samsung TV in the upper range.

I just hope that the new Avant 75-inch and 85-inch will have another screentype like the BV 7-55 (full-array LED).

Have nice Holiday!

Regards
Martin 

Obviously i'd totally agree Martin. Based upon what has come out recently, my wife genuinely believes our 7-55 will be the last Beovision we ever buy😂

That's a bit OTT Chris. The Avant is a stunning TV. My 'test' TV will be installed Thursday, so I'll report back, but I'm confident that it will be an impressive device and at a half-reasonable price. I really think it's an exaggeration to imply that the Avant is a failure. A few teething problems, yes, but this has happened plenty of times in the past. The BV10 had a fair few issues at launch and through the early part of it's life (I had to get the central motherboard replaced with a month of purchase and dust got under the panel), which were resolved.

Hello everyone,

I am fan of this forum since 2000 and follow many times the amazing articles that you all post.

I have read the many posts about BV 7-55. I was convinced that it is one of the best TVs B&O ever produced.

moxxey among many others has contributed a lot.

I recently bought the MK2 version probably one of the last produced with Serial number 2326XXXX.

Came with the original B&O close wall bracket. Question 1: Do I have to connect all speaker cables before I put it up on the wall?

Will I be able to connect (change) cables while the TV is on the wall? As you know is very heavy (75kg)

Question 2: I have BL Penta mk3, BL 8000, BL3 & Sub BL2. Center BL 7-2. What is the way best way to connect them all for best possible performance?

Thank you all in advance.

Hello everyone,

Anyone has experience with BV 7-55 Close Wall Bracket Installation.
