Hi,

I am considering changing my 5,5 year old Beovision 7-55 mark II to an Eclipse 55. Do yoy guys think it is a good thing to do or what do you think?

I know that the PQ is extremly good on the 7_55. What do you think?

best Regards

Martin

If you are happy so far with the BV7 - and maybe even have a ML-based setup connected to it - don’t panic.

The BV7-55 is a mighty fine tv.

Just wait - there will be other B&O tv’s, when you really need a new one.

Found this old thread while researching the issue in the title. I have almost decided to replace my 7-55 with a 65 inch Eclipse. I have 50s as fronts and 12-3s as rears. Any opinions? Particularly sound quality given advancements in technology and the fact that the Eclipse would have both 50s and 12-3s in the setup menu, unlike my 7-55.

Any thoughts on the question in this old thread? 

Old thread......but is exactly the question I am asking myself.  I am thinking about an Eclipse. Any thoughts on what if any improvement in sound I might get upgrading from a BV7 to an Eclipse? Connected speakers are 50s and 12-3s.

Although the 7-55 still is a good tv, I reckon that most people will say: you won’t look back once you have an Eclipse....especially with the 50’s and the 12’s as speakers.

One thing I really miss with a “real” beovision is the anti glare glass. My oled eclipse is really horrible at glare. I have to close my blinds all the time as it is incapable of removing even the smallest light reflections.
