wife(s) and too big tv

25 replies

the beovision 7 55" is arrived and it's amazing. My wife is not happy... she said "It's to big". Thus do I have to divorce? Solutions?!

Never complain when a wife says 'it's too big'!

Option 1: Trade it in against the same size picture but a smaller TV i.e. the Avant 55".

Option2: let her get used to it by allowing her to watch lots of girlie movies.

Option 3: Trade in the wife for a newer model!

I don't envy you having to make a choice.  Surprised she wasn't involved in the decision making process though.  You should get her onboard beforehand.

Haha role reversal for me! I had a girlfriend who bought a 46" LCD TV a few years back and I hated the monstrosity! She thought it was excellent. I realised that she was lacking in class!

I dumped the girlfriend!

55" TV is huge!!!

I love my wife! She is great... but I also love my new mega Big Beovision 7 55"... I should have bought a Leica M with a summarit 50 2.5... almost the same price (5k) smaller... and ssssshhhh... I can hide from my wife sight!!!

I say keep the tv and over time I'm sure your wife will get used to it!

My wife's idea of heaven, is a 7-55 in each room mated to a couple of pairs of Beolab 5's.

Ohh and some furniture 😕 she has a sister somewhere!

Glad to hear how you feel for your wife.  I suppose it partly depends on the size of room you have.  We have a huge room so it's OK.  She will grow to love it I'm sure.  If she loves you the same, she will get to like it too.

agree there when I bought our 28 inch avant to big after a while didn't notice, then same again with beovision 3 32inch same result, bevision 11 same result but likes more now as cables in the sock surface area of tv bigger so does not see the cables , one happy wife

Just tell her that because the TV is big it makes her butt look smaller...😎
