laseralex:I quite like the appearance, but I honestly prefer the look of the Horizon. (I really LOVE the way the Horizon looks!)But I just can't fathom spending $7150 USD (6042 EUR) for it when I can buy the exact same TV for $1500 and the same soundbar for $1750. That means B&O are charging $3900 USD (3300 EUR) for the stand and the frame which holds them together. That's just silly.Sources: 2x Beosound Moment • 4x Beosound Essence Mk II Speakers: 3x Beolab 8000 • 1x Beolab 6000 • 1x Beolab 3 • 3x Beolab 2 • 4x BeoPlay M5 • 1x BeoPlay A6 Control: 9x Essence Remote • 1x Beoremote Halo

Needs to be seen in real, but on the picture it looks like a fake, DIY Beovision. Lacks the delicacy of other Beovisions (from 1 to 14, Horizon, Eclipse and skipping the 3).
laseralex:I really LOVE the way the Horizon looks!
Same. It's the most beautiful affordable to me (in second hand) Beovision. The only one competing, but out of my reach being the 14 with wooden grill.
I also really like the Horizon, but it is very rare in 48 inch version and also much more expensive than the 40 inch version on the second hand market

I love the Horizon design too but the price tag and also subpar LCD quality makes it a no-go. Thus I did a "DIY" with a 48" OLED LG and a Stage, both mounted to the Horizon vertical Stand.
Though now I'm wondering whether it will be possible to buy the Stage Version of the Contour and use without the frame with an existing 48" LG, could look even better.
andy_js:The Horizon is a modern classic. At least the stand on the Contour is an improvement over the horrible floor stand the Horizon had.
I disagree. I find the trolley stand beautiful surprising and very B&O. The rotating stand a little less but still better design that this thick ugly contour stand.
Again, looks like "Almost B&O but not even close"

The BV Contour stand is not bad. It reminds me of the static table stand for the BV-7 one.
Wishful thinking, the stand is Bluetooth connected to the BR1 and motorized🤞🏽😄
Just resurrecting this thread. So, when is the Contour released? 19 November?
As of yet I haven’t seen any teaser or so from B&O. But can’t be far off since the tv is already in some shop windows.
We saw the "Leaked" teaser is it now 2 week ago?
And they never actully used this teaser official?
FlatpanelsHD says that news will arrive today, so lets see.

Actually the ‘design’ was born in the Fabrik 5 from the guys working there and then refined.....as far as I have heard.
It is on the B&O website now - also have a look here:

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !
I’m looking forward to see the price list with a break down of all the elements. I’m not sure the BR One is included in the 5.599 price.
The wall bracket sounds quite elaborate with turn and tilt. Maybe STB will offer a simpler close wall bracket bringing the price down a bit.

I'm surprised by its depth : as it's a Stage with a LG GX over it, I can't understand what's this big black box in the back : empty space just to hide cables?
Also the cut at the top of the wood panel is strange : There is no use of the infrared sensor of the LG panel as the Beoremote is Bluetooth! is it a light sensor?

Wow. Just wow.
This is definitely “B&O Surprise of the Year” for me. In gold tone along with the wood speaker cover this is easily the best looking TV B&O has in their catalogue right now in my opinion; and the size is absolutely perfect for me too. Very impressed! I’d pick one up if I wasn’t in the middle of planning to migrate, so this will have to wait! Definitely very happy with what I’m seeing though!
I think it's an LG CX not a GX......
tobeyone: I think it's an LG CX not a GX......
Correct
kuyttendaele: In the specs: "Designer: Bang & Olufsen"... Not a Valeur design product it appears!
In the flatpanelshd article it's mentioned it was designed in collaboration with Valeur.

Sandyb:Ok, that looks much nicer with the wood front.
It looks far better than the Horizon!
Fansastic: I wonder if the frame will be sold separately so we can benefit from a discounted LG panel through bulk suppliers

Also, does this mean the Stage is getting a wood fret?
More seriously though, can I take the 'spare' Stage I have here and use it with this frame and an a panel?
mbee: I'm surprised by its depth : as it's a Stage with a LG GX over it, I can't understand what's this big black box in the back : empty space just to hide cables?
That's the downside of a framed panel. However, I'd never put this on my wall. I'd have it on the stand, I think.

Its a CX panel.
Correct!
I just bought a 55" GX and an Almando multiplay surround decoder (to run my lab3s and s14) and spent under 3000 and get a stunning modern (3cm thick on the wall) panel that looks beautiful and works with my existing B&O Speakers!
