smile and enjoy the moment
I'm really exciting about the new Horizon !
I hope we could have one or two leaked pictures, even of we know It doesn't do justice to the product, as always...
Do you think the white lines could be the lines of the TV speakers ?
Steph:Do you think the white lines could be the lines of the TV speakers ?
Aussie Michael: I also wonder if the two other colours represent the television too?
Thanks Greg !
Michael, i'm saying no too, because the colors have already been used by B&O for the BeoLink Multiroom pictures and web site.
I'm impatient to discover the "harder, more masculine/aggressive design" of the Horizon.
And the stand, "black and looks more like a set of circular rails" seems cool too !

And if you include 2017, then it is not three, but four...as the article mentions a B and O OLED in 2017.
Also will be interesting to see what the new floor stand for the Avant will be.

New B&O TV with "Philips Inside".
TP Vision, the maker of Philips TV in Europe and other areas, is said to be delivering the electronics and software for the upcoming Bang & Olufsen TV with Android.

Sorry Lars,
why not just state that this is just a rumour!
B&O has had indian software programmers working for them for quite a long time.

Boy, I sure am glad they abandoned plasma for this superior LCD technology.

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

Chris take a look at this video sorting out the Global Dimming within settings of the tv.
A worth while watch.

Chris Townsend:Cheers I will. With reference to plasma, I only believe there was an UHD plasma built purely as a technology demonstrator. I couldn't see plasma being able to achieve HDR capabilities thoug, considering even its top models still suffered from screen burn when playing SD and HD material. 1,000 nits! No chance

I've had plasmas for over ten years, one panel is 10+ years old, and I have never had burn in issues. Of course, I never played video games on one, or left up a channel that had a bright logo on the bottom of the screen, but IMO the burn in issue is overrated. I still think UHD is very overrated, it's a solution to a non existent problem, designed to churn the market not make anyone's lives or experiences better. A 4k, 46 inch, LCD panel with bad contrast will be a loser compared to even a cheap HD plasma in the performance areas that matter. HDR, great potential, will depend on implementation and how black the panel will be able to do.
Jeff: HDR, great potential, will depend on implementation and how black the panel will be able to do.

I wonder how stunning HDR will actually look when it finally gets here, or will it be a disappointment as so many hyped technologies wind up being? Certainly 3D never lived up to the hype. And 4k pixels doesn't.
I usually watch TV in the evening when I can control light levels, not pitch dark but not daylight bright either, so my VT plasma looks just stunning, incredible black levels and detail in dark scenes. If I do watch in daylight, the THX Bright Room setting does OK, but if it's really bright it's not perfect, perhaps where HDR and brighter white level might make the most difference.
I was not overly impressed with the pictures on the Avants I've seen, either the 55 or the 85 inch one. The 85 does have an impressive picture if only because of its size and seeing things you don't see on smaller screens just due to the size of the image. But ultimately I came home, looked at my plasma, and felt absolutely no need to upgrade. I used Blade Runner to demo it, something that stresses the black level performance of a TV. Granted not a 4k disc but resolution wasn't the thing I thought lacking.
All this talk about 4K and 8K.. The largest cable provider in Belgium (Telenet) is still delivering content in 720P (or 1080i)... Really wonder how long it will take to get broadcasters on the 4K train.. It's been taking almost almost 2 decades to have the picture format in 16:9
In the meantime Loewe releases an OLED television with HDR and a well-known speaker solution, the Bild 7:
