I just placed an order for a Beovision 11-55 MkIV, despite all this talk of doom and gloom for B&O.

I'm hoping that it'll all get sorted out. 

I can honestly say that I am a bit worried about the warranty, and what happens with service, but right now, B&O is still around, their stores are still around, and historically when companies have gone under, warranties have been honored should something go wrong.

Unboxing pictures will be posted when it is delivered. In case anyone was wondering, black frame, black grill, on an easel stand.

I hope I haven't made a mistake! 😉

WOW Congrats Sal! I love the easel stand - nice choice! I hope that you have years of enjoyment from it. I'm sure that it'll make a good audio system too. ENJOY :)

Congratulations as well! Look forward to seeing your pictures. If I were in the market for a TV right now, the current B&O hoopla wouldn't stop me from buying one.

The worst thing people can do when a Company is in trouble, is to be afraid of buying their products. Then it will just get worse...

I don't think you should worry about the warranty. I'm sure there will be some kind of solution for B&O. Whether they're being sold to some other Electronics Company, or some Investment fund - I'm sure the Company will survive in some form.

It will never be a mistake to buy a wonderful TV like the BV 11. Buy it and enjoy it. I'm sure warranty issues will be solved, even in the worst case scenario.

B&O are too rich in heritage to close down.

They'll survive. We might see some downsizing or changes but there'll be a B&O for a long time to come. Just my opinion.

Look at it this way.. If B&O are sold off, it will be the last real Beovision 🤒

The BV5 was a wonderful TV on an easel stand, but suddenly became rather heavy looking when the BV10s and BV11s came along.

My BV11 is on a hinge because it suits my room layout and seating, but I would have been equally happy with an easel. I wouldn't worry about guarantees. I'm still driving a Saab, and Saab parts are available through a separate parts company despite the near total demise of the car maker.

Live dangerously!
