I still can't see a panel update happening, at least switching from TP-Vision to an LG OLED. Maybe there would be room to make the 48CX "slide in"?

Surely the added value for the Horizon vs Stage/LG would be the surround decoder (and PUC?), plus the included BR One. Furthermore the stands for Horizon are cheaper than the new Stage stand :)

If it’s an update i find it hard to believe it’ll be oled because of allstuff on the back of an LG and where the b&o bit would go, also the lack of 48” screens being available to anyone.

If it’s something else completely, as in replacement, oled can be more likely but you run into the same issues.

For margins i think it’s be mostlikely an lg nano cell panel as they’re extremely good too.

Maybe I’m confused, but TP-Vision is making the OS and not the screen, right?

I recall the screen in Horizon to be a Samsung panel.

Assume that could be replaced by a LG OLED panel, or?

Moxey I know, but an upgraded panel could be a newer version of the Lg Led panels. In wich case I am not interested. But if it is an Oled panel that would be interesting.

I understood that the Horizon panel (and BV14) is a TP-vision / Philips panel and therefore Android based OS, where the OG Avant/11/V1 are samsung panels with B&O OS.

If B&O is going to introduce a Horizon mk2, they can only come with a LG panel, not a newer Android based panel. The line up with LG/Stage - Horizon MK2 - Eclipse MK2 - Harmony looks good imo and a logical product / price strategy to get customers back to the B&O ecosystem. As said earlier the Horizon must be upgraded both panel- and soundwise.

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !

For the Horizon (and BV14) TP-Vision made the TV-electronics part, based on the Android TV OS.. Basicly that's the OEM part where B&O added additional software and sound hardware. No idea where B&O sourced the screen... so that could indeed be a Samsung.
