If I was planning to spend a staggering £15,000 on a TV (gawd knows how much it is in USD), I'd certainly go for the BV9 over and above the BV7-55. The picture isn't going to be any better than the BV7-40 and, indeed, could be worse (SD upscaled), has the same picture engine, same sound, same everything - just a 15" bigger screen for 50%+ more cash!

 

I'm in no way defending the 50% difference, but the screens are not the same.

XL: 55” 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), 16:9 TFT LCD direct-type LED backlight , local dimming, scanning backlight, glare surface

(from B&O web page)

Is B & O using a Samsung panel in the BV7-55?

The reason I ask is that,as far as I am aware,Samsung's 2009 LED TVs embody edge lit LED arrays,and do not feature local dimming.

I love ABT electronics.

The prices do not include VAT.  Each state is sovereign when it comes to sales tax.  The federal government does not impose any sales tax.  Although the Feds are able to tax us in many other ways.

If you order the 7-55 in the UK now, you should get it before Christmas. But you had better be quick! I don't think the 10 will arrive till after.

I hope this isn't the case for BV10 in Scandinavia. I ordered mine when it was introduced a few weeks ago, and was quoted week 49 (this week) or 50 for delivery. It would be somewhat disappointing to get it as late as after Xmas (although there's nothing disappointing at getting a BV10 ;).

If B&O cannot deliver BV10 before the holidays, they shouldn't promote BV10 on their web site's front page as one of the perfect Xmas gifts...

I hope my dealer can confirm the schedule for BV10 soon.

My dealer informed me of the same  - BV10 will not be available before beginning of the new year.

Another good argument to buy the BV7-55 😁

On Monday I will get my BV7-55 installed, and I can not say how much I am looking forward to that No I only wait for the BS5/BM5, which because of motherboard problems have no delivery time currently 😭

Congrats ! It looks like a great set! Hope you post pictures and your thoughts on it when it is installed.

Razlaw is correct with his price estimate. In the States, the BV7-55 is much less expensive than the BV9. The 9  is $21,900 vs $18,000 for a BV7-55 with BluRay,  BeoLab 7-6,  low floor stand, and Beo 5.

Personally I think the price difference comes from..

Yeah, but this is massively cheaper than the BV7-55 in the UK or Europe. Big markup here then :(

The tall stand is $1,500 and would work with your current BeoLab 7-4. The non-bluray BV7-55 is $11,000 so you'd be at $12,500 all in.

Eh? $11,000? Am I reading that right? Isn't anyone else in Europe angry that we're paying well over $20,000?

got to say i personally love it!!!! love the new Beovision 10 as well, saw that in my local dealer and my lord it looked the part!! im one of these people who loves bright colours so im delighted and in love with the orange speaker cover as i think it really sets it off if its in the right enviroment!
