Re: Could buying of new BeoVision 10 be a big fiasco?

TripEnglish:

I agree with Peter. I think any quality control issues (and there's a legitimate case to be made that the other thread was a bit of hyperbole to begin with) will be or have been dealt with swiftly and most will be thrilled long-term with their purchase.

Hyperbole or not (I'm quoting myself on the other thread):

---

I had a preview of two BeoVision 10 units at my dealer's tonight, after the shop's closing hours, in somewhat dimmed lighting conditions. "Movie watching conditions" could not be achieved, due to too much ambient light coming from the shopping centre's hallways.

One of the units had clouding that was actually worse than on my BeoVision 10. The other had notable clouding that was practically no improvement over mine. Both me and my dealer agreed on the problem.

So, 3 out of 3 BeoVision 10 units that I have seen had apparent clouding.

---

I for one am looking at options other than BeoVision 10 as a result. Sadly.

(Edit:)

That said, and as backed by other opinions on this Forum, surely the majority of BeoVision 10's are of excellent quality and I've just been (very) unlucky. I do not wish to come off as harsh; I am merely disappointed. Given that only very few incidents of clouding have been reported here -- most of which were not considered disturbing by the viewer anyway -- chances for people getting a perfect unit are no doubt very good.

My advice is that everyone should judge BeoVision 10 by themselves, and not by prejudice resulting from incidents such as mine. BeoVision 10 is a design-masterpiece that deserves to thrill and enlighten many, many people.

The picture quality on mine is quite frankly fantastic. Best picture I have seen. Wonderful blacks, superb detail and very good motion. The 46" will be just as good I am sure. I am sure there are some sets with issues (I have seen the picture thread) but I would expect the vast majority to be just like mine.

I have red a lot about BeoVision 10 40'' and faulty screens. So does this mean that buying a new BeoVision could mean a big fiasco or a kind of Russian roulette?

Has the screen quality already been improved? What about the bigger 46'' screen that is coming in May to the shops, can we expact some better quality?
