Aussie Michael:Be interesting to see. I used web os on an lg tv at a shop and I hated it. It seemed amateurish. Maybe it's more sophisticated than when I looked which was at Christmas time

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.
ga53n:If the software is as good as we hope for, maybe the new versions of Horizon and Beovision 14 will utilize the same platform.
I seriously doubt that will happen - there's a hell of a lot of integration to embed an entire OS in to the TV, including the eprom etc. Plus you can't just go and licence a brand new platform and then push it back on to old products.
Sandyb:though webOS has in general been well reviewed
I've used webOS on my "HP Touchpad" tablet and it was a pleasure to use...

Web OS on the HP Touchpad or the Palm Pre devices was brilliant! You can see nowadays many elements that Google and Apple have stolen from the system while still not working so intuitive like Web OS.On the LG TV sets it is okay but not as fast and intuitive as it should - like on the old Palm and HP devices. But for me the system works better than the Android TV system. I'm asking myself if Google gets anything right nowadays!? The Android phones are okay but Android Wear on the watches... oh dear.Maybe B&O acts with the Android TVs like they did while introducing Beosound Essence MK2 shortly after the MK1: They left their customers standing in the rain!
Hi,
I don't totally agree with you regarding the Essence MKI : I was 1 of the first buyers and I had an offer beginning of last year to get a free update to an essence MKII while buying any multiroom device : that's when I had ùmy first Beoplay A6.
So I don't think they totally let me down.

Speaking of rumors, has anyone heard of B&O finally offering high quality streaming? I know Deezer offers this, but it's exclusive to Sonos. If so, would that be a software update to an Essence MKII or would that require new hardware?
As I understand it, the new Bv Oled tv could bebased on the LG E6 tv.
Here is a review of t he E6 tv.

The E6?
That would be last years model!

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Sure, but this time they don't 'use technology'.
These tv's will be built by LG - why should they use E6-series, when the E7 is already there now (right in time for the LG/B&O tv's to arrive)?
First of all, It will be a 17 panel, it is no more a B&O television but a B&O/LG television. And one thing is for sure, LG would be insane to release a high end model with old technology. Also expect a much faster release time schedule in the future.
Second of all, stop saying E7 serie. LG use the same panel in all B7/C7/E7/G7/W7, so does not make any sense. They have one panel, and that is what all use, LG, Sony, Panasonic and Philips.
Also expect the three size 55" 65" 77"
My guess would be specific the 77" will be highlighted as B&O customer is used to large size compared to other brand customers.

@Emil
Why would a LG costumer spend more money on a E series tv, when he can get the same with a B series?
Good question, but the same reason why you would give more for an B&O,
Better remote
Better speaker system
All Glass design
Picture is exactly the same on a B7 as a G7
Well, I guess there will be a lot more differences between a B&O tv and a non-B&O tv than between the diffent versions/series of the LG tv's!
That said - you are right.
Maybe we should stop saying 'E'.
Generally I am with you - it would be nonsense to use a last years panel in a B&O/LG tv.
They probably are sold out/out of production, anyway.
Did a quick google search and found this:
'The rest of the differences relate to styling. Here's a rundown.

I hope so.
I have a LG OLED now, and the Picture is perfect, but I am in the marked for an B&O OLED, as I miss:
A good remote
A good center speaker
Simpel control(puc)
Advance sound processor
And that B&O magic
So I am looking very close at the release.

People are generally very 'picture fixated' nowadays.
Of course this is a personal decicion, somehow a question of prioritizing.
Personally I would never give up a recent BV for the picture quality/experience of an LG OLED-tv - for exact the reasons, that you have listed above.
Best thing would be a combination - the combination, that we all are waiting for.
However, if there is 'too much LG' in the coming B&O/LG BV, I surely would consider staying with a BV11 or the Avant 2014.
The benefit of 4K, HDR etc of a display would not be enough to outweight the ease of having a BV11/V1/Avant 2014 in my setup for my everydayuse.
Maybe some day, when higher quality video becomes normality (and my room becomes bigger), this will change?
P.S. The saved money could go into better speakers, then ;-)
