Good afternoon,

Will B&O switch from Samsung to LG as their panel supplier?

I think that the BV11 Marc Rothko inspired TVs will continue for a very long time. BV5, 9, 10, 11 - I'm sure there will be a follow on and indeed with OLED :) That would be very classy I guess :)
I used to be very anti-LCD because I felt it was an old outdated technology and don't like that it has to make artificial light and "push it" through the screen to provide the light for the picture. I was also a big proponent of Plasma and then OLED.
However, I have not been that impressed with the demos I've seen of the newest 4k LG OLED panels. Let me rephrase that. I have not been as impressed as I expected to be. Meanwhile, the Sony XBR65X950B LCD destroyed my previous reservations about LCD. It's simply the best TV on the market right now from a picture quality standpoint. And at one point it had B&O levels of price as they were 8,000.00 when introduced. Now I'm being offered one by my local retailer for 3800.00 with a 4 year added warranty, so I will probably end up going that direction. I would love a Beovision for the integration and looks, but otherwise, TV is about picture quality and the Sony excels in this area.
I hope that LG's OLED panels improve over time, because they don't really need to tweak a whole lot. But I watch hours and hours of certain TV channels and the plasma in my room got burn in of the Velocity channel logo in the US. This would still be an issue with the OLED panels, but has never been in an issue with LCDs.
Well, there's OLED and then there's OLED, there's a significant difference in how LG and Samsung approach it technically. LG uses white OLEDs passing light thru colored cells to get the color pixels, much like an LCD set. Samsung used native RGB, different OLED pixels for red, blue, and green, which is more like plasma. Disadvantages to both, so far from what I read the life expectancy long term of the blue OLEDs are not up to the red and green ones for a shorter overall panel life, but they produce a purer color picture.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.

Yep, a beautiful technology that I think if it's momentum can continue, will have these differences and problems work themselves out over a relatively short period of time.

Jeff Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

Re Apple Watch, good question, probably whichever approach can produce the smallest pixels, off the top of my head I'd say the Samsung approach but admit I don't know.
I've recently had to decide which new TV to buy. I watched the Avant, the Beovision 11, some other LCDs and then I saw a LG curved OLED Full-HD (not 4K) TV and I was blown away by the color reproduction. Black is black, no clouding, no visible backlight nothing, just a true black. The picture is amazing even in "standard" or "low energy" mode (which looks more natural to my eyes!).The sound is ok, so I'll think of adding a Beolab 7.x to it...As LG is massively investing into OLED technology I hope that B&O will offer a TV with the Beovision 11 design with an OLED-Panel!
