have just been told that B&O have discontinued the bv 11 as of last Friday. Surprised this hasn't been posted already. Seems an odd decision but there are new products on their way soon.
As far as I'm aware, 11-40 and 11-55 discontinued. 11-46 still in the line-up.
Replacement expected to be announced in 4-6 weeks I think.
I was told this a couple of weeks ago so assumed it was common knowledge!

It was news to me!
So, not only new panels in the BV-11?
So I believe that whe'll have soon a 40" and 55" replacement and that the 46" size is dead.
My BV11-46 MKII (WISA and quick panel) made in Denmark is the last of the breed then.
Hope that the new 55" is a killer in term of design, sound and picture like the old one.
Any news about the new android tv?
Could be that 46" will live on, but the bigger size will be OLED.
I have heard rumors for a trusted source that it will be a LG OLED panel, and that there will be a new Webmedia platform that is based on LGs Smart TV webOS platform. Hopefully with a B&O look and feel.

Lifetime of oled screens are they better now?
koning: Lifetime of oled screens are they better now?
Good question, I'd love to know the answer. Allegedly from what I've read the worst ssue in longevity was the blue OLED in the Samsung type design, where they have red, green, and blue OLEDs. Supposedly the LG design using white OLEDs with RGB filters over the pixels is superior in both production yield and longevity, but I'm not sure just how long they are supposed to last.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
LG quoted 30,000 hours for their top of the range UHD OLED TVs last year.
4 hours a day, that's just over 20 years.
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
New tv will be 4k running Android platfrom (same as Sony use and others) Dont think it will be oled? Which would have been nice.
Either way I have been wating for a new telly and hope it has all the stuff? hevc,hdr ect.
Remember B&O have now signed up to Android......Read more here.

Interesting. I think Panasonic was claiming 60,000 hrs for their last plasmas. I have a 10 yr old plasma that still looks fine, no idea what that translates to in hrs though.

10 years are 87600 hours if you have the set on all the time. 30.000 hours will last long if you have normal viewing habits.
I've only had my Beovision 11 for not even 6months
C'est la vie I guess!
Still a great tv Bensa
Any info about the next bv..
I was only told what we all know, i.e that there's a new one coming in March/April but that wouldn't probably be anything as 'small' as a 40 inch screen. I was also told not to expect anything much cheaper than the Beovision 11 which was a surprise as I was hoping for something nearer to the price of the recently departed V1
@Roger
Can you give us some more info about this new TV
