Is Beovision 7-55 too big for my livingroom?

I have enjoyed the stunning picture of the BV 7-55 for about two months but still haven't got used to the huge size of the tv. It just domitates the room!

I used to have a BV 7-40 which suited the size of the room better but the tv was of the first generation and the picture was really poor compared with today's tvs.

My livingroom size is 5x6 meters and the viewing distance is about 3 meters.

Attached are pics pic of my old and new setup. I hope this pair of pics helps you!

Hi guys,

Thank you for your advice. I think I will buy the 7-55!. It will look huge, but If you have a great intrerest in Homecinema, it should be okey to have have a huge TV-set. But if you just dont are a homecinema-entusiast maybe the 7-40 is the right TV.

It is the same with cars. If you just use your car to take you from A to B it is enough with a ordinary Volvo or Skoda maybe. But if you love cars, it is okey to buy a large Mercedes or BMW I think.

Have a nice evening!

I think there's a chance it will look grotesquely too big in a room that small, with Beolab 5's.

 

But please, send us a picture of your room! :)

 

I'm personally dumbfounded that your buying decision (for a TV that costs as much as a small island) is in our hands

Hi,

My buying decision is of course NOT in your hands. I just want some advice regarding this issue. And I have got it and are pleased with it!

By the way, I will order it with high stand and with Beolab 10 (need a special bracket for that speaker). Beolab 7.6 make this TV very clumsy with high stand, dont you think?

Hi Razlaw,

What dimensions do you have in Your room?

/Martin

it is close to 15 feet wide and 17 feet long. The TV goes on the wall goes on the side that is 15 feet wide. Also, the back of the room, behind where we sit, is open to a breakfast area and the kitchen.  I will try to post a couple of pictures.

Acanthus, I love that clock, can you say what the make/name is please?

I bought it at Barcelona more than ten years ago.

The clock was made by an artist in small series.

I'll check if the shop still exists.

Regards

Martin,

Did you end up getting the 55?
