BeoVision 4-65: Good Idea to Buy Now?

I can buy a BeoVision 4-65 in my town. A BeoLab 7.x (horizontal), a BeoSystem 3 and a wall mount are included. The price would be less than for a BeoSound Moment ...

I am tempted ...

Any advice?

I'm not sure if be spending significant sums on a tv made between 2005-2011.

I have a BV4-50 Full HD with a BeoSystem 3, which i bought about 2 years ago for about 550€. I still love the TV and the Beosystem 3, to which i later bought a Beolab 7-2.

If the price is right I wouldn’t hesitate, but keep in mind that it is an old screen and that it might not lasts for many years to come.

My main TV is a BV 4-65 with Beosystem 3 and I absolutely love it.  I think the pictures is fantastic for the price of them right now.  As long as it is not too much I would go for it.  Just keep in mind that screen is crazy heavy.  Around 200 lbs.   It took 3 people to hang it on the wall. Well worth it after everything was installed.

Saw my first LG OLED the other day. It was very impressive but every time I go home to see my parents, I’m still mesmerised by the picture quality of their plasma BV4-65. If you can get the 4-65 for small money then you’ll love it and even if the panel dies in a few years, you would have got a stunning picture and pleasure for very little money and not feel bad.

Make sure you use a small crane or lots of friends to mount it otherwise you could spend thousands on spinal surgery and physio.

Later versions of BeoSystem 3 are incredibly sophisticated and repairable. BeoLab 7 is fantastic in any size. 1080p BeoVision 4 is top-shelf but uses a ton of energy. If you have a way to build a PUC table I think it is wonderful opportunity. 

I've always been fascinated by the fasciation with plasma screens 'wearing out'.

In all my years of dealing in B&O I've never once seen, or heard of, a plasma screen go wrong through just plain being used too much.

The BV4 screen is superb. If it's cheap - go for it.  It may not have the absolute clarity of modern screens, but it's good enough - and it's B&O.

Alternatively you might have owned a Panasonic plasma that went off with a bang (sic) after 7 years and was a write off!

You pays your money and takes your chance!

It was a brilliant tv and I wouldve happily bought a new one had they still made plasma screens however I wouldn't buy a similarly aged used model.
