Don't worry too much (unless it is really a space problem and you can't fit a larger screen in your room?): my experience is that each time I have gone for the bigger screen size, whether for my BV7 55", my iMac 27" or my iPhone 6 Plus, not only have I never regretted it, but I have afterwards always looked at the smaller screen sizes, being grateful that I chose the larger one.

You get used to - and fond of - the bigger screen sizes, that is really my experience.

I think screen size is a real personal preference. To me, I find a large screen terribly vulgar, I feel the same with these larger phones - just pure vulgar. When I walk into peoples houses and see a large screen, i'm immediately turned off. Just taste and preference I guess. 

Fair enough Paul! :-)

I'm agree with @PaulW about screen sizes. I'm very glad owning a stunning BV MX4000, nobody see it, even in my little apartment. Searching for years a BV6-26 (HDMI version) in red, very hard to find, or a V1-32" in dark grey, very hard to find as well. Screen sizes from 40" aren´t made for me.

Anyway, I'm very exited about the new BV, at last to find a good second hand V1-32" 😁

It's all about choice... A big nice screen in a room that's large enough can be great... but for my bedroom, I'd quite like a smaller TV...

I'm with Paul about large screens being vulgar on a home... But like a lot here, I like to be "inside" the movie...

My solution : BV8 40 + video projector : discrete design and 40" for the news... and more than 3m diagonal for the movies ;-)

It's only vulgar if you don't have the design nous to pull it off

A lot of homes here aren't as small as some European ones so it fits into a room better.

If you say had an old cabinet where you have a smaller CRT and use that same cabinet and plonk a big black piece of glass on it then it looks weird.

I couldn't sit down in a room ready for a movie and en experience to squint across the room.

Appreciate that it's not for everyone. 🤩

Completely correct. Also, there are a lot of homes where people stick a modern B&O TV and have, frankly speaking, god-awful furniture and home decoration surrounding it. That's far more vulgar in my eyes :)

Totally disagree. Certain things have class and some are pure vulgar. 4x4s are an example - just pure uneducated vulgar!

Oh for goodness sake Paul.
