Hi All,
I am looking into buying a second hand Beovision 9-50 and I have a few questions:
- What the difference between Mk I, Mk II and Mk III ?
- How long would you expect a plasma to last? is it deteriorating badly after a few years compared to LED and LCD?
- Is it worthwhile getting a Bv 9-50 if I can get a Bv 10-46 for just a little more money? is that a better choice?
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this..
Thanks
Peter

Following this thread with extreme interest. Always always wanted one of these (and still do). Without a doubt it is my favorite TV (beovision or not) but unfortunately it is not going to fit in my next apartment. Sometime I WILL own one and I'm worried that by the time all the circumstances align, the TV will be too old to bother with.

yes.. let's hope there are someone with experiences about this amazing TV... ;)

Hi Peter,
My BV9 is a MkIII one:
Full HD and ACM (little camera which calibrates the screen every 200 hours).
Bought new on mid-2007, still strong and healthy.
I really appreciate the soft image of this set, far less agressive than LCD, more "Cinema" experience.
The built-in speaker matches my BL5 very well.
Integrated with a Moment, a BC2, a PS3 and a Tvix through NL/ML converter, all work flawless in all my rooms.
To be short, I'm really happy with this true B&O set... and no software troubles!
Kind regards,
Yann

Thanks Beoandy! :)
It was a typo.. I meant to write 10-46. sorry about the confusion! :)
Thanks for letting me know the difference between the generations. Didn't even know there was a Mk 5...

Thanks YannChris.
Good point there.. I have read a lot about all the software issues on Bv10 and 11..I will use a Apple TV anyways, so no need for any SmartTV features for me. Good to know its still going strong after more than 10 years. and I also enjoy the softer image that also handles a bad signal better it seems. Sometimes the new LED's are sometimes "better" than real life in the picture quality, which makes it fel a bit unnatural..

Do not rule out BV 10 and 11 based on potential SW troubles. I had a BV10 and still have a BV11 and not seen any such problems. This may be confused with BV14 (using Android OS) that was initially plagued with problems.
Agree that plasmas have a nice soft picture.
