No thank you 😂 I once posted a picture of my BV8 against a messy bookcase with its cables on display and was criticised - valid criticism I will admit, but still !! that's why I so admire other Beoworlders who managed to keep their environments so neat and tidy !!

My area where the B&O sits is neat (my housemate once asked if she could put photo frames on the TV unit )... but the rest of the house looks like a war zone most of the time LOL

Why the emhasis on HD 1080 p content the Contrast and luminance are just as important 

B&O are allways Superb at there colours plus of couse great sound

 I have seen Samsung etc the colour is always to harsh 

plus your paying for the look in your home with B&O

Any adverse comment would not deter me from retaining my 'Queen Anne' styled Dynatron radiogram,and the models of flying ducks on the wall whose presence is enhanced by the pastoral ambience created by the rose motiffed wallpaper.

I agree..

I've been a B&O fan since forever. Bought my first TV set (LS5500) in 1990 it was not the double price of a comparable Sony, but close, but so much better looking and gave that nice feeling to use it ever since.

But today, its not the double price, we are talking 10 times compared to a decent/good value plasma or LED from some of the larger manufacturers. It's hard even to convince myself it is value for money any more..

/P

I own a dealer ex demo  BV8-40, also an Avant 32DVD and LX5500 bought used. No way would I go back to the older generation products having lived with the BV8 but they are still to be enjoyed in other rooms. The sound of the Avant, the elegance of the LX and the satisfying aspect quite unique to B&O that not only are they still in perfect working order but are also working seamlessly together with the 2010 BV8 product via a 90's MCL system. Longevity and continuity like this are of much value to me.

Those  feeling the need to always have the very latest picture technolgy may have look elsewhere, but it will be increasingly possible to obtain future TV products for around twice as much as the other better quality manufacturers. B&O seem to be waking up to this at last  - finally a proper MX/LX replacement?

I was married in Vegas, and intend using a Beovision 12 or 3 as wallpaper.

So much for a classical education

The question of ducks on the wall is quite important.   Are they flying from left to right, or from right to left? Are they flying up, or down?

Only when these vital details are known can a final judgement be made on the correct size of screen, and, of course, the suitability of the wallpaper.

I've always found it incongruous that one the one hand people buy in to a luxury AV brand that is synonymous with good design and sophistication, yet on the other are so prickly when it comes to the interiors that these products are placed within.

I was wandering down memory lane the other day and recalling how back in 1985 my parents bought me the Optimus Prime Transformer - which was hard to come by in the UK that year - thus ensuring me bragging rights in the primary school playground for a few weeks afterwards. The attraction soon wore off and by that point every kid had one too, and I was left questioning not only my own moral fibre, but also the disempowerment that a consumerist society can engender in a seven year old. What I'm trying to say is that some of us may learn that lesson at some point in our lives, but unless you are myopic, seated several metres from a screen or at a conference facility, large TV screens are the epitome of vulgarity.

I have to confess that I really don't mind what other people have and certainly would not judge them on their purchases. I don't want a huge TV simply because I don't watch that much. A BV5 is quite huge enough and suits the size of my room. The BV10 I did have was in some ways better as the picture was marginally better but the sound was not.

I have been in patients' houses where the set did seem rather out of proportion but if they liked the viewing experience I really don't think it is for me to criticise. I am sure some would tell us that buying B&O is a wasteful extravagance and we could spend far less and do something more useful with the money. Personally I like what I have and don't need tacit approval from anyone.

To be fair there only seems to be you who is prickly about the interiors into which they are placed, most others seem quite relaxed to let folk put their TV where ever they like without calling them vulgar!
