Simon - have you thought about an MX1500 instead? No need for a fancy install then.

We tried the wall mount for a BV 8 in our Bedroom.

Clear, distinct, even in bright sunlight, excellent sound of course, but " tiring " on the eyes from always looking up near the ceiling.

So we brought it down and tried it off to the side of the bed on a Teak comforter cabinet, and that is where it now remains. We can now watch it sitting, or in bed.

We had a BL 2000 nearby that was ML linked, but we removed it. The BV 8 being ML link - capable added that option for us.

( Nonetheless, the big bed is too comfortable, and wife still dozes off after 15 minutes of watching it, no matter who is on ).

I would consider a used BV6 - I think the picture quality is OK but you would have to judge it for yourself as these things are quite subjective. Also depends a lot on the source you will be using.

As for the BV8, I know a lot of people love it but it falls a bit short of what I expect of B&O in terms of styling and quality. But that's personal taste, I guess.

Despite what others have said, I'm not overly impressed with my BV8. Colours are far more washed out, compared to the BV7-40 MKIII.

BV6 is rather expensive for a second-hand occasional-use bedroom TV. How about a Samsung? :)

I don't think a Samsung makes sense when you have so much B&O kit in the rest of the house. Assuming Simon is going to link it back to the main gear, he'd be able to pull in audio sources and use the same remote for link and local sources. Better to invest money than waste it. 

I would say go for a BeoVision 8. The picture is damn good for such a cheap (by our standards) TV and something tells me you might get a damn good deal on one if you act soon. 

Does it have to be a flat panel?  I have a beovision 1 and its a fantastic bedroom tv with superb sound.

I have a BV6 in the bedroom and i'am very happy with it.Have it link to ML so have all sources available in the bedroom.It depends on the price between the BV6 and the BV8

P.S. I still think its shelf on the bottom of the BV8

It makes a lot of sense, if you're on a limited spending budget Trip.

Besides, my landlords have B&O kit linked all over their house, apart from their bedroom and master bedroom, where they had Moss of Bath come around and fit £599 Sony TVs for free, with Freeview built-in. They argued that couldn't be beaten. In many ways, they are right.

It's very very hard to link up B&O across floors, which is a reason why a TV in a bedroom doesn't need to be B&O. I can link between rooms, but not between floors.

But, of course, as we're so B&O centric, we can't really propose outside ideas in case we're responsible for the dealers going under.

You need a TV likelink, Simon.
