Re: BV6-26 or BV8-26 at same price: Which one to take?

The 8-26 and 8-32 are a completely different TV to the 8-40. Let's not go into details but I would rather take the 6-26 and run it in standard definition than run an 8-26 or 32 with HD (having seen both sets side-by-side in the past).

The 6 to me looks sleek and sexy , the 8 has always looked cheap with that horrible line up the side and the simply weird speaker dust trap at the bottom.

I'd go as far as saying the 8 is the worst current bno design.

I need to correct myself. I call it Saunarium but it is not in the Sauna itself (with high temp & humidity). It is in the relax room next to it with normal temp and humidity. So this is no issue - I had a Toshiba LCD there for 3 years without any problems.

Whichever set is chosen it is going to fry in a sauna and the humidity will kill it! Use an aquavision with a BeoLink Passive that can be hidden away along with the IR receiver if used an a MLGW

In this room (my saunarium)

Pardon my ignorance here, but is any TV safe in a sauna/ steamroom?

Reading other posts and descriptions on 'Lifestyle' I get the impression that the BV6 has fabric speaker covers/frets, and that the cases of some BV8's are prone to discolour. So that seems like a whole lot of reasons not to use either of these models in a saunarium.

What about the picture quality of BV8-26 vs BV6-26? Are they the same video engine? What about the contrast screen vs the contrast coating.

I am having a BV8-40 and BV8-32 and I am happy with the picture, but never compared it to a BV6-26 (out of 2005!) Is the BV8-26 very similar to the BV8-32? I know the BV8-40 is quite different from BV8-32 (but mainly from Audio or connection side)..

Cheers David,

Thats a pretty good comparison from someone that has both the TV's in question.

Thanks.

well... back on topic (though the diversion was interesting as I love Prada myself, though more of a TAG man, Omega isnt my thing!!!! LOL)

I have both a BV8 and BV6 TV. The BV6 is in a link room, the BV8 40 in my living room.

Essentially the BV6 is used as a second pair of speakers for music upstairs...

In my view both offer a great picture, the sound on the BV8 is probably better as its a 40" and has bigger speakers. Given the technology updates, id prob buy the BV8, its a good all round tv/sound unit.

Hope that helps?

Best Wishes

David

OMG guys! I can see why B&O has a stuffy image!!!

If you take a look at the title and the first few entries on this thread you will see that the subject of it is BV6 or BV8...

It's actually not about ur likes and dislikes, bodybuilding ***, where u used to work in Leeds, which watches you like.....or even, the fact that you love the BV10 tv...

......It's about the comparison between a BV6 and a BV8...!!

If you wanna talk about the things you like ~ why not start ur own thread about those things ffs..?

FYI in the UK you can now buy a BeoVision 6 26 chassis with 2 HDMI brand new with a Beo4 1710 for £2500.00. Only 225 units available and IMHO a better buy overall than the BroVision 8. A true B&O product without the body building supplements lol

Aren't we a little off topic now?

What about pros and cons of the two TV Sets?

Exactly! Just what I was thinking.
