How do people rate the beovision 7 40" Mk4?
My parents still have a Beocenter 2002 bought in 1981 with beovox 35s.It works perfectly, I play records almost everytime I'm invited for dinner.It doesn't look like a plastic product and certainly insn't crap.I would have called a crap a Marrantz (or whatever) product bought the same year that surely ended in the bin long time ago...GregoryThe problem with cheap B&O kit is that it's just cheap - the same can be said for much of their stuff going back years - Beocentre 2000 from 1980 was cheap plastic crap when it came out , and some of the cheap nasty stuff b&o produced in the 80's is beyond belief. You really do get what you pay for with B&O.
Ask Peter or one of the other mods - the general consensus is that the beocentre 2000 was a piece of plastic junk made in Japan.
I had a beocentre 4600 at the time and that was built like a tank in comparison.
I'm glad your's is still working though.
Well im going to look at a beovision 7 40" Mk4 on saturday, ive read mixed things some saying it was bettered by tvs of its time which is a bit worrying but hey i guess we will see?
Do a search on this site , there's been 5 versions of the bv7.
im wondering how it will look compaired to a modern new tv, i dont expect it to be better but at least the same?

The 2002 was a Japanese made music centre. It was priced as an entry model to the B&O range and was much cheaper than the contemporary Beocenter 7000. Considering its price, it fulfilled its brief and although it cannot really be compared to other B&O of the time, the record player and speakers were both good. I am delighted it is still giving good service.
My B&O Icons:
I still think that the bv7 has an amazing picture with the 55" being one of the best led tv pictures that i have ever seen, i remember when i first demoed the bv7 mk3 i think with the kung-fu hustle dvd and the picture was so crisp with lovely rich colours and deep blacks and damn sharp i swear you could have jumped into the screen. Motion was very good and i'm sure the latest ones are even better.
I Really hope it blows me away, other wise it means buying a non B&O tv an av processor and doing it all ass about face lol
