I am getting ready to order a 32 in V1 for my bedroom. I am trying to decide how to mount it. Has anybody used the ceiling mount where it hangs from cables?

I have seen and mounted them from the ceiling. If you have few sources it will look pretty cool. I personally feel that unless you get crafty with STBBrackets or fabing your own if you have a lot of sources connected to it, it can take away from the concept.  

Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there

I am just going to have a Sat box connected to it and maybe a pair of Beolabs. Nothing else. I don't like any of the other B and O stands so might do a STB stand, or hang from the ceiling.

If that's all you are going to connect, I'd say go for it Yes - thumbs up

It would look great. But now I am thinking there may not be wood studs behind the drywall in the precise location I want to place it.

Have you downloaded the installation instructions from the B&O website. They show the requirements.

We are very pleased with the side hinged wall mounting despite no powered option . It gives the tv some feel of  extra substance .

I have my new V1-32 wall mounted with the side hinge.

Looks great - I'm very pleased with that.

I am thinking I may order the V1 and no stand yet, and see how it looks in room and maybe that will help me decide. My first choice right now would be the B and O floor stand, from a design standpoint. But, I want the TV to be vertical, not leaned back, so it won't work for me.

It comes with the stand but if you choose a different one , like the wall bracket, you only pay the difference instead of buying it later and having one you don't need.

Guessing your ceiling joists are spaced 12/18  inches apart so I am sure it would be easy to find them and suspend your new BV from them.

Enjoy your new B & O.

I must admit, every time I visit my dealer, the BeoPlay V1, in black, with the green fret, grabs my attention. Although I have a BV10-32, this would be my choice if I was going for another 32".

Hi elephant,

had to look up what (the f**k) is AirBNB first - did not know that Embarrassed

(You always learn new things writing on BeoWorld Smile)

Sorry - I am not, but it might be worth concidering.

Maybe we could even organize an 'AirBNB for BeoWorlders'!

I have the 40" V1 in my bedroom and I think it is the optimal size. It also has the built in "subwoofer" so it has good sound and no need for extra speakers. I don't want a lot of things in my bedroom so for me that is crucial. The 32" is probably better for ceiling mounting since it is lighter but I don't know. Just think you should think about the size and the speakers.

BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, 
BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, 
BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, 
BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)
