10K at Harrods and Harvey Nichs? Sounds remarkably like my boss's wife! Apparently is easily done and we men shouldn't be such cheapskates [:'(]

Ugg boots eh? That even a sensible purchase for these cold months - you're a lucky man Lee

Well - no, the BL5's cannot show "X Factor" "Dancing on Ice" and all that other drivel in glorious technicolour, and she doesn't listen to loud music - so BL5's never really got a chance to grow on her!

I'm lucky to have a wife that asks me for nothing financially. She has her own credit card bills, and her biggest extravagance of 2007 was a pair of "Ugg" boots! We have one customer who (after the husbands card was declined) that said in the background "oh, yes - sorry - i forgot to say, i spent £4,000 at Harrods and £6,000 at Harvey Nicholls on Christmas stuff darling.."

I nearly dropped the phone!

Hehe.. so what you are saying Lee, is that the WAF factor on a BV9 is on a par with Lab5s.

Did you wifes huge shopping spree and consequent large cc bill have anything to do with her later acceptance and defeat..?

Hello Claudiu

HDR2 i find useless as i have Sky+ and i couldn't care less about BeoMedia so got a BV9 without it.

I am absolutely delighted with the TV, and i am getting a huge amount of pleasure owning it. Even the wife, after going crazy when it appeared (calling it a monstrosity, and way too big) has finally admitted defeat and said she loves it !!

The image quality is stunning, the sound is excellent as you would expect, and although i had to pay a small fortune for it - i am completely happy in my choice. If i worried about what was round the corner, i'd never actually buy a TV - i'd be waiting for the 3D holographic sets to really take off, but then when they were released they may be developing 3D holographic with smell-o-vision to stall my purchase whilst the next technology after smell-o-vision was developed!!

Silly comments - but i'm sure you get my point. You have to decide, "am i happy with this now, and is it the best available taking into account all of my 'check boxes'?" - that's all you can do. Technology is unstoppable, but design and craftsmanship looks good forever. That's why we pay fortunes for antiques that are hundreds of years old!!

Hi everyone.

I just get a good deal for a beovision 9 ,but im still confused about some things

1. I dont understand that the hdr2 is usefull for anything, because you still have to record manual ore by text the same way you did´t 10 years ago, when you record whit the setup box you are block in that cannel.

2. I never understand this Beomedia 1. is it good to invest in ? Whit all that talk about Beosound 5....

3. I love the design and the picture qualeti but, now i getting more confused whit the new Finasial statemend:

((. The fourth quarter will also see the launch of new patented

picture calibration technology, which will further differentiate the company’s

plasma TV portfolio. Work on a new groundbreaking digital audio concept

continues in the Group. This is expected to be launched in the beginning of the

coming financial year.))

i hope you can give me some good advise and help me too make up me mind :-)
