I'm considering buying one of the 2019 LG TVs (OLED55E9PLA or OLED55B9PLA).
Does anyone know if I will be able to connect my existing Beoremote One to either of these models or indeed other smart TV brands/ models?
Thanks!
Right now it is only the LG C9
Beovision Harmony 77" 2nd Gen, Beolab 5, Beolab 17, Beosound 1, Beoplay M3, Beoplay Portal, Beoplay Earset, Beoliving Intelligence
Thanks Emil for the prompt clarification!
Is this confirmed? I see the TV needs the Bang & Olufsen all installed fr the LG Content Store. I wonder if it is device software limited to just the C9 and if anyone has tried installing it on other 2019 models? I just bought a B9 (released after the C9 but cheaper) and am thinking of returning for a C9 if B&O don't plan on supporting the B9 😭

That would imply that the E9 should be okay since it also has an upgraded processor? I honestly don't think it is about processor performance and if anything would be a forced software lisoftware because the B&O harmony is a C9 underneath so that's the only platform they've actually done testing for.
Another point is that the Beoremote One pairs with the attached B&O device itself, either the Stage or the Harmony, and not directly with the LG TV. Communication is then done with the network cable from the Stage or Harmony to the TV.
A Beoremote One may perhaps be paired directly with a LG TV alone, but likely with reduced functionality, for example without any LIST options or limited displayed options.

I’m using a Beosound Core. Do you mean the 2-way communication between beoremote and the c9 is facilitated via the core?
Mikipidia:I don’t think it’s a b&o restriction at all, iam 98% sure it’s something LG mandates. There is atleast another panel type that they’re testing on beyond the C range as i’ve been told. B&O has no objection to making it possible for C8’s, but just like with apple, WebOs is a walled garden so LG decides what they allow and don’t allow.

Let’s wait for the 2010 models, where the better processors - probably - can be found in more LG-OLEDs.

There is a tv - and there is a BV

No, with the Core you can have sound from a tv using the optical input.....nothing more, nothing less.
You can control the/communicate with the Core using the BROne, but there is no way it can recognize a tv/the C9 this way.

John from B&O Manchester mentioned the LG Z9, which is the 88" 8K OLED from LG. This panel will probably be the screen for the 88" Harmony. The Z8 can be used with the Stage too.
Otherwise you'll have to hope for BeoSystem 5...

I was told, that the app appears in the LG C9 menu, if e.g. the stage is connected to the tv. Otherwise it is hidden.
Found an interesting link in case people haven’t already seen. It’s about the Stage though speaks of C9 connectivity to beoremote. https://bogob2b.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1057712/~/can-i-control-my-beosound-stage-with-beoremote-one%3F

I would like to know if the Beoremote One BT can be Bluetooth-paired directly with LG C9 (without BeoSound Stage or Harmony). I think LG’s original remote seems very “cheap and plastic-like” compared to the design and materials B&O stand for. For instance, I love the fact that it can be Bluetooth-paired directly with Apple TV4
Hope for a positive answer - and let me know all the details about what will work with LG C9 - and not, thanks.

Ditto... Given how the thread started out you get the impression that the remote can indeed control the C9, but then it starts to sound more and more like it's only the specifc case that a BS Stage is connected via HDMI
You can’t!
The LG/C9 s controlled via the BS Stage.
You will need the direct physical connection (the ethernet cable) to establish the communication between both - in addition to the HDMI/CEC connection.
And you need a specific sw/app installed on the LG.
Hi Millemissen,
I have seen a danish authorised seller sell an "upgrade" to a Beovision 7 floor stand with a Beolab 7 speaker.
They simply add on a LG C9 to the floor stand with a adapter bracket, and it should then work with the Beolab 7 speaker.
They also sell an upgrade to a B&O remote so it can control the tv.
If the BS Stage is controlling the LG C9, how can this be possible, since this setup is without af BS Stage?
Looking forward to hear, since I am really hoping the BeoRemote can work with the tv alone.
Any updates on this?
Has anyone tried to pair a BeoRemote One directly to a LG television via bluetooth (like you could do directly to the Apple TV?). I am also very curious whether this would work.
The Stage isn’t really an option as it doesn’t allow for surround sound but if you can pair the BeoRemote One directly to the LG and also get an Axiim Link to offer surround sound to Wisa speakers it suddenly becomes a complete surround sound system with the BfO remote.

It doesn't. It only works via the Stage, which is connected via LAN to your LG TV. And even then it's not the same as using the BeoRemote with the Eclipse. No PUC control, so you can't access some external boxes such a Sky Q.
