If you are looking at spending upto £500 I would go for a Avant RF 32", If you are looking at spending £1,000 to £2,000 personally I would recommend a BV-5 (non HD), If you got between £2,000 and £4,000ish, then I'd try finding a BV-5 HD, And if you got between £5,000 - £10,000 going spare, personally

[quote user="jason hurst"] wow looks like a stunning set up you have there. i will post my set up soon. the more i see of it the hungrier im getting for one. its nice and reassuring to hear the noise side of it is on par with the avant, you see the avant is a timeless piece of art with function and i love my two to bits, but one will have

Yes, I bought a 2003 BV-5 in October last year, after considering what Lee @ Lifestyle had said about them being just about the most reliable set he's come across - along with its superb design, picture quality despite not being HD, 3D etc, super quality sound and it's overall B&O high build quality.

From memory these panels are made to last 60,000 hours at least, so just under 8,000 hours means it should have plenty more life in it. The BV5 is by far the most reliable TV i've ever dealt in. I can't

[quote user="9 LEE"] Yes, that's correct - it's been switched on 25,000 times. I'm guessing this is an early Avant or such like? [/quote] Hi Lee, Actually the set I was just browsing on ebay is a BV6 26" - and the seller is describing it as 'low used'... ?? A set being switched on 25,000 times is a heck of a lot aint

[quote user="Doctor"] As stated above, the picture in my opinion is superb. The style is also simply the best. The sound knocks all similar sized TVs into a cocked hat but is just not as good as either an Avant or a BV5. The reasons for this are obvious - it is very thin.
