Hey guys, 

I'm new here, so let me introduce myself: My name is John, I am from Germany and by all means I am no expert at all regarding TVs and stuff. I guess that is why I am here Tongue

 

So, yesterday my dad showed me an offer which was made to him by Bang and Olufsen;)  The end ammount was 20.000€, which is like 26.000$ Wink

 

 

Basically it containts 2 TVs, one for the living room, one for the bedroom Wink

 

1. Beo Vision 11 in 55 inch for 10.000 Euro

2.Beo Vision 11 in 40 inch for 6.000 Euro

 

So I was literally shocked when I saw how EXPENSIVE these TVs were, and as I am no expert, I thought I have to ask experts whether the 10.000 bucks are in any way justified or whether it is just a screw-up Wink So what do you guys think about the Beo Vision? If you had that kind of money, like 10.000 for one TV would you spend it for the Beo Vision 11 or for a different model? Is there like a brand new model coming out in spring? What about 4K, 8K and OLED what I kept reading about when I was trying to get into TVs and stuff^^ Hope you guys can help me out Smile

 

Thanks in advance Smile

I don't know if you've seen the review...

... I might consider one if I had a large room, the right decor and pots of money Smile

I have always been impressed by their audio over the years. Expensive for sure but beautifully engineered and designed.

Basically, if you have to ask then it isn't for you.

I assume there is a bit more than just two TVs in this package.

10,000 Euros + 6000 Euros = 16,000 Euros

You said the 'end amount' was 20,000 Euros.

What is the extra 4000 Euros for?

If money was no object, I would definitely consider the Beo Vision. Apart from the picture quality itself, you're also paying for the superior components, design and class leading customer service. Sure you can get better picture for a lot less, but no one else (apart from Loewe) can offer the other aspects as B&O does.

I have a Beovision 10-46 mk 2, and the 11 is better than the 10 in all ways but to certain degrees. The picture is improved although only marginally, like the new Macs its slimmer but its the sound where it really trumps.

Once you consider that it has a built in receiver and a speaker setup that negates a proffesional sound bar, it doesn't seem as expensive as it might first appeal. For me it's the whole overall experience of having something that's so well engineered I can control the TV, PS3, Sky and Apple TV through one bombproof controller. No need for ugly AV receivers/Amplifiers and their associated wiring plus fantastic speakers, all in one beautiful package.
