I really don't understand.

In this American article the new Beovision 4-50 will cost $7.500 ( = €5.040 )

Here in this German article the new Beovision 4-50 will cost €15.595

Both articles mention the Beolab 10 seperatly ( read not included)  so that can not be the difference, In my opinon..

Can anyone explain this huge pricedifference to me ??  

 

 

I think it has something to do with BeoSystem 3, in the US price BS 3 is not included (I think), it's only the price of the panel.

How strange. A Beovision has always been a complete television,wasn't it so?

So why are they now using the name of a complete television (Beovision) and mention the price of only the display ? You cannot recieve anything with that !!!

In my opinion not very honest.

You also have sales taxes included in europe which you donot have in US.

Sale taxment and bs3 for 10k . This must be a joke. I really hope the price of the US articel is wright, because this is a great stap for B&O to sale nice tv's for a good price

I don't follow you. Also in the USA a Beovision was always a complete device, wasn't it?

The $7500 is the price for the BeoVision 4 50" by itself. You need to add BeoSystem 3 ($7700) and BeoLab speakers. The BV4 has always been separate from the BeoSystem.

I think Bingo wants to say that the US prices never include VAT.

No, I don't.

In europe the Beovision 4 is always including the Beosystem 3 so I thought that is also the case in the USA.

And to be honest, it is misleading to call a plain plasmapanel a Beovision in my opinion.

Sorry Bingo, I should have written  "I think jk1002 wants to say..."

But you are right, the BV4 should be the same "package" in US and Europe, everywhere. 

So, the price isn't 5000,- euro in the EU . It's just the screen without any conncections for around 7000,- euro's ?

 Don't get me wrong, but if that's the real price, B&O should kick the whole salesman crew out of the factory. It's just insane [:'(]

I really thougt this was the answer on Pioneer, and it should make a really good B&O setup possible <20K (Bl's 5 in stereo, Bv4 as the screen (who's cares about 5.1 if you can get the 5's ))

 

Yes, I also hoped that they were getting back on the right way. To buy a centerspeaker seperatly, I can live with. And to be honest, the price of the new Beovision 4 would be much more realistic.

Four HDMI inputs becomes standard this year by a lot of manufacturers on their premium models, so in that case the Beosystem 3 does not offer anything special anymore.

I agree with you Beobird, keep asking €15000,- for the Beovision 4-50 is not the solution to survive for Bang & Olufsen I think.
