A nice B&O crt would match better in my opinion! AV9000, AVANT, BV3, MX etc etc ;)

Better picture + less cost - win win!

We have both the 7-32 and 6-26. Both good TV's but picture quality and connectivity have moved on the intervening period. I have recently been trying to get HD picture and audio onto the BV 7 to enjoy blu-ray disks. In typical B&O fashion connections have been the problem.

A top end Pioneer plasma will set you back £2-3k and will provide a picture quality that blows both the BV 7 and 6 away. New models are due later this summer so the current Kuro models should begin to soften in price further.

If you don't want something too big but want a well-made premium LCD that can easily be connected to beolab speakers the Loewe range is worth a look. In particular their new Connect TV is easily connected to digital media such as computers and Network Accessible Drives and our local dealer (an ex B&O dealer) can easily connect all sorts of B&O equipment to them.

I have a Bv7-32 in my bedroom , I got a used one and paid £3500 ( you should be able to find a Bv6-26 for half that ) with a power floor stand and Bl7-1 . It's only a year old and is the same as sold now , don't think it's had as many updates as the 40 . It replaced a Bv6-26 and is a better picture and HD , also has a Dvd player built in , depends on the size you want . I won't go back to Crt as I haven't found the picture better although some would argue the point .

Some would argue the point???  everyone would-  if you are suggesting that an early generation bv7 gives a better picture than a good crt then i suggest an eye test is in order!

An interested follower of the forum for the past couple of years, and now posting for the first time...

A former BV3-32 owner, though current equipment includes a BV6-26 (bedroom) and a BV7-32 (8 months old); 

Picture quality of both lcds certainly better than the BV3 in my opinion...either should be a significant improvement over a 15 year old Philips!

Thanks for all the comments. I have, of course, seen a BV7-32 runnning but not under all conditions and with all sources and formats so not sure if motion blur, brightness etc are big weak areas. The opinions are useful.

It's such a good looking TV but, you know, when you see so many negative comments on the site about B&O's LCD TVs and see the number of BV7-32s on the used market you start to wonder!
