Greetings!

In connection with the upgrade of Core to the Mozart platform, I wanted to ask if there is any information about the upgrade of Stage to Mozart in Beovision Contour?

And one more question - is B&O radio integrated into it? Is it possible to play it when the TV is connected to the network and, accordingly, Stage too, but the screen is not turned on or only when the screen is turned on?

As I am also interested in a Contour;

Is screen burn-in still problem with these OLED tv's? And what is the expected life of such a set? Also considering a second hand BV11...

Our Contour is coming up to being a year old. No burn in or other faults.

As per the LG instructions, we simply leave it plugged in and it completes pixel maintenance... after we switch off the TV.

We went from a BV14 (already 4K) to the Contour (also 4K plus OLED) and it was a huge leap in picture quality. Especially impressive on any Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos programming.

Cant comment on B&O Radio or Stage with Mozart support.

I can confirm you can use the Stage as a stand alone speaker without turning on the screen. Both the Beovision Contour (aka Stage) and Beovision TV (aka LG C2) appear as Airplay sources on our various Apple devices. They are quite responsive; taking a few seconds to start streaming from when selected; whereas our old BV14 with Android TV would take a good 5 minutes to start streaming (if at all).
