Not everyones favourite website i know, but a good article i believe on how OLED is maturing and becoming affordable. Hopefully we will see this technology in whatever might replace the Avant! Apparently next year the problem of OLED not being able to produce enough brightness(NITS) is being resolved.

The comments below that article suggest that LG will not be producing OLED screens below 55inch.
Anyone preferring a screen below 55 inch should get on with choosing from the current alternative technologies!

Good point, I suspect the low end of the market doesn't offer enough profits or people willing to pay premium prices for the newest technology for smaller screens. I currently have a 65 inch plasma, and have no desire to ever go smaller, even the 55 inch Avant would be a step back, though I doubt I'd want to go larger than 75 inches. I think that could hit a sweet spot in my large living room, but 85 seems a tad big. Or not..., I could probably force myself to get used to it.

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

Chris Townsend:In Newcastle today LG had an OLED display stand. The 55 inch(£2,000) was amazing compared next to its LCD brother, but the 65 inch(£3,995) was incredible. Worse, the associated LG sound bar and subwoofer were very very good Beovision 7-55 Mk2, Beovision 8-32, Avant RF 28, Beolab 9, Beolit 15, Beoplay A2, Beocom 2, Beotime, H6, Form 2.
BeoNut since '75
Chris Townsend:Getting cheaper and cheaper by the month. Hopefully the standard technology in just a few short years. Did I mention how good the sound was from the sound bar? It can only be a matter of time......

+ more than 1!
It's been hard times for the plasma faithful with the death of plasma, nothing in the LCD world matches the best plasmas, so OLED is a holy grail. Hopefully it'll drop in price and set a new, even higher performance standard. What seriously interested me is the HDR offering of 20 stops of dynamic range as opposed to 12. Being an old B&W photographer, familiar with Saint Ansel Adams' Zone System and the limitations of film, more dynamic range, with more subtle details in bright and dark parts of the image, truly is of extreme interest and has the potential to significantly better plasma.

Chris Townsend:Talk of a"wallpaper" OLED screen being released late 2016! http://flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1446462482 Brilliantly predicted by me just a few short years ago, but maybe just what the Beolab 12 range was perfectly suited to! In 5 years will there even be a need for a Beovision?

Oh dear. Now everyone will be waiting for 8K 100" wallpaper. But by the time it comes out they will be starting to produce 16K screens. What a dilemma.
Still waiting for the 'wallpaper speaker', then?
And the 'wallpaper audio/video engine'?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I love your postings Chris and I truly understand the see of the tech industry. You have to remember the B&O people are truly used to things thing decades to implement when the rest of the industry does something yesterday. It's like my radio industry where an idea is hatched, approved and implemented the following day!
It's so obvious that LG are true leaders with OLED and this is an incredibly fast industry. 8 years ago we didn't have the iPhone and now look what it does and have it's replaced 20+ gadgets :) I think it's very easy to get caught up with the pipe and slippers feel of B&O and turn off from other brands until like me, you wake up and realise that the world has truly moved on. Look at SONOS, in the 10 years since its existence, it's become financially the second largest speaker music system manufacturer in the world - look at B&O in comparison, management sackings, fighting, CEO changes, old wood and no sales. Strange how every young person has heard of SONOS! For good ness sake, B&O STILL aren't producing soundbars even though the market is truly HUGE with the £600 SONOS being a best seller.
There's closed minded old staid on this site Chris because they have nothing better to do. You are always enlighten people with your fresh approach and long may it continue - certainly longer than the old pipe and slipper brigade the critcize.
Chris Townsend:Honestly, I wander why I bother here sometimes. I still keep in touch with a few ex Beoworlders who left this site precisely because of such comments. If you had read the article you will have noticed that LG are working on the wires/cabling etc, but making cheap shots is easier I guess. How hard would it be to base a video engine elsewhere? Oh hang on, Samsung did that, 3 years ago.

I just don't see the point of a tv, that is wallpapaper rhin (just because you can make it that thin).
to me it doesn't matter at all, if my tv is 2 mm thick or 2 cm.
I don't carry it around - it stayes where it's best place is.
Wall paper screens are excellent for shop etc display, but I don't see any advantages for a home use.
You should 'bother here' of course.
You have stated your opinion - I have mine!

Do tell me what is the point of having a 2 mm thin screen/tv with a 140 mm (Sonos) soundbar beneath it.
I don't get it.
Is everyone, who has a different opinion, than yours, 'closed minded' and belonging to 'the old pipe and slipper brigade' per definition.
Make your points, as I make mine - no need to take your verbal fist out of your pocket because of different view on the benefits of new technology.

This was 6 years ago!
what has become of it?
That is quite amazing - and just what I think the wall paper displays are for.
But it is a showroom (of some kind) and not a livingroom, where you watch (and listen to) tv and movies.
