There is a tv - and there is a BV
Millemissen: The new tv's are rumoured (!) to be based on the E series from LG. MM
Out of interest Is that another previous gen screen?
If the E7 are going to be used....
AVSforum just mentioned prizing and release of the LG originals (in the US):
55″ E7, $4500, May65″ E7, $6000, March
The won't come cheap, then.
If this years E6 will be used, they might come a bit cheaper, of course.
As for when? It would be odd, if the wait untill this fall with the release ----- and still use the 2016 models, wouldn't it?
But don't forget - there is nothing confirmed yet!!!
On a sidenote:
No matter which series or even technology, they will be using for the LG/B&O tv's, it will be an upgrade to the current.
The bigger (much bigger) question is, how do they integrate with, what is core B&O?
How will the sound/sound engine work with/in these modern picture-focussed tv's?
How will the interface be - how well will they work with current NL (and also ML) products.....?
Ohhh - and how stable will they be?
add in the B&O audio processing, and presumably design added value, and i dont see any reason to believe the TVs will be priced any cheaper than the existing range.....i.e a current 55inch, whether Avant or BV14, is roughly 7000-8000 (GBP), i'd expect the OLEDs to be similar.....
as MM mentions, would be hard to consider the E series as out of date tech......whether they use last years or this years will get people very agitated, though by all initial accounts there isn't a huge difference between the e6 and e7 panel, albeit the e7 hasn't really been reviewed yet........
So, no Oled panels in the current BV14 or Avant then? I hear these pronunciations more often.
I'd be surprised if - but we don't know, really.
....and a BV14-65 - that would be a huge thing ;-o)
Sandyb:add in the B&O audio processing, and presumably design added value, and i dont see any reason to believe the TVs will be priced any cheaper than the existing range.....i.e a current 55inch, whether Avant or BV14, is roughly 7000-8000 (GBP), i'd expect the OLEDs to be similar.....
yes, will be interesting......having various TV options, pricing in absolute and relative terms will be interesting so B&O dont cannibalise the other products........if the OLEDs are more or less the same price as the Avant/BV14 , it will hurt sales of those products i guess......so i expect it will be little more, maybe not by much.....so a 55 BV14 is around (GBP) 7300 with a wall bracket, a 55 Avant with a wall bracket is around 7800, i'm guessing a 55 OLED will be a bit more.....unless they drop the prices of the BV14 / Avant's a little, which is hard to see.......but all guesswork for now i suppose.....
A 65" panel would probably accelerate my decision to purchase. :)

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
apologies, yes you have mentioned that before.......heres hoping...
Chris Townsend:I'll say it again, I was told to be surprised by the pricing Beovision 7-55 Mk2, Avant RF 28, Beolab 9, Beolit 15, Beoplay A1/A2, Beocom 2, Beotime, H3 ANC/H8/H6/H2, Form 2, Beoplay A3, Beovision 5-42 connected to a DVD1

What if the BV14 and the Avant NG - at least the 55/65" versions - would be dropped, when the new tv's arrive?
That would make way for new prices/a new price structure.
Duels:Surprised........ or shocked?
indeed a possibility, though that may annoy existing / recent purchasers of the NG TVs.....though that consideration may well get overlooked......
I hope the horizon sees the benefit of the new panels, but given how recently they were released I'm not sure

Chris, no dealer has seen or knows anything about the OLED TVs. How can they speculate on pricing? No way they know at this stage.
Sounds like hope, not fact.
Aussie Michael: Millemissen: The new tv's are rumoured (!) to be based on the E series from LG. MM Out of interest Is that another previous gen screen?
I am hoping for the W series in a 65 inch screen.
Is the B and O LG TV going to be manufactured in South Korea in an outsourced arrangement?
linder: Is the B and O LG TV going to be manufactured in South Korea in an outsourced arrangement?
To my knowledge the manufacturing will be done by LG, to get economies of scale, so that could be in South Korea I guess.

KMA
B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.
KMA: The LG OLED I have, properly calibrated for day & night, beats BV11 in picture quality by a very large margin. But LG is no B&O – I miss the B&O design, materials, and sound, even though I have the SH7 soundbar on the wall below the TV

It would be a major disappoint to me if the design and materials were not up to quality of at least the current Avant. I hope the new Beovision will be the best one they have ever produced.
