14.5k pounds isn't so bad.... you should come to Austalia. The BL5 are selling at 18.2k pounds excluding GST (i.e VAT)

These huge TVs are very chav! I can imagine Katie Price & Peter Andre buying them with gold stands! I really think this is a tacky route for B&O to go down i'm really not impressed!
I completely agree. Once a screen gets so big, the only tasteful way to go bigger is to have a projector with a retractable screen. I really wish B&O would explore adding a projector and screen to it's offerings.

BTW I'm curious if anyone could explain the vast difference in the power consumption figures quoted for BV4-85 on the B&O vs that for the VX200 on the Panasonic website. Is the BV4-85 far more power efficient or is it just a matter of difference in the way power consumption is measured by the companies (apologies for my ignorance)
B&O BV4-85
POWER CONSUMPTION |
Typical (IEC 62087:2. ed): 375 W/Networked standby 0.4 W |
Panasonic
Model |
TH-85VX200U |
TH-85VX200W |
Power Consumption |
1,250 W |
1,200 W |
On Average Power Consumption* |
739 W |
Power off Condition |
0.2 W |
0.3 W |
Stand-by Condition |
0.3 W |
0.5 W |
From what I understand the power supply is replaced on all BeoVision 4's to something a little more custom that creates less noise than what's normally built in to the Pro series ... Though most would still argue that it's just a Panasonic with a pretty frame
interesting that according to this post all beo4 power supply modules are replaced for the 'superior' B&O one.
I wonder why it is then that with the back removed from my 14 month old beovision 4 it is IDENTICAL in every way to the panasonic panle on which it is based!!

I have a large living room and I fnd even the 50" to be overpowering in some respects.
i suppose if on has adesignated video room - but in that case projection is the way to go!

Hmm, somewhat cool, yes with a 85" or even 103" TV, but for me the BV9 is B&O perfection.

Do you have pics of both because I'm curious to see this?

I will remove the rear panels again and take pictures.
In the power supply the components are identical- will try to do this weekend

BeoMegaMan:
As far as 3D, you will have to have an updated BS3 with HDMI out to take advantage of 3D, period at this point. I don't beleive DVI will carry 3D so that would be the reason why it is only HDMI(v1.4) now.
pure speculation though :)
I hope it will be possible to update my old BeoSystem 3 (MKI - I think) to handle a 3D signal, would be sorry to have to buy a new BS3.
