Re: Essential difference between a BeoVision 4 50" versus the 65" ?

Thanks Keith. Now I have to figure whether I go for the B&O Offered SAMSUNG SP A800B projector + Motorised Stewart screen + BS3 (using my existing BV5 for normal TV viewing) or the 65" + BS3 and not bother with a Projector set up.

Decisions, Decisions !!

Well, your dealer may be partially correct about the "Contrast Technology" in terms of the maxmium ratio. Both the 50" & 65" have the same electrical spec expect for PEAK contrast ratio which is 5000:1 for the 50" and 10000:1 for the 65"

Having said that, the typical continous Contrast Ratio for both screens is 3000:1 as quoted in the B&O spec.

OK - all you smartypants ! [:'(]I asked the question because I was told by a desaler that the 65" had better "contrast technology" and the premium over the 50" was not just because it was 15" bigger. I believe it has a darker contrast coating.

In the US, the BeoSystem 3 (in all forms) ships with both analog and digital tuners.

PJ, when you have the time, I'd like to talk to you about this bridge I have for sale in NYC.

Is this a trick question? Both are now full HD but the 65" is bigger!

The Beosystem 3 can be specified with the combined DVB-S/T so the answer is yes.

Hi, can someone tell me the essential difference (if money was no object) between the 50" and 65" BV4 ? Please. Also I note that the BV 9 has a Beosystem 3 "built in" but it has an analogue tuner. However, does the stand alone Beosystem 3 used with a 50" or 65" BV4 have a digital tuner ?
