B & O 3D TV

39 replies

I just have seen a spot from the new Samsung 3D TV's and was wondering when B&O will use one of Samsung's new C8780 Displays available in 40, 46 and 55 inches? Maybe in the new expected BV 10-55 or in a BV 10-46 MK II?

It's quite optimistic. I would say they will introduce it in a year or so!!!!!!!

I can't understand why B&O is so often behind the time at the moment. Should we now buy the 10-46 with the current display and then changing it next year for the new Samsung 3D display which is then already one year old 😕 It seems as the days when B&O was ahead of time are gone for the moment....

I've only been buying B&O kit for the last 9-10 years, but they've always been this way, and that's a long time in electronics. In fact, wasn't the ex-CEO quoted saying that B&O's philsophy was to used "tried and tested" components within their TVs (read: we're always going to be behind whilst we do our own testing)?

On a sidenote, I assume B&O realise most of their target audience are *not* seeking a 3D TV. Most B&O customers want the best standard audio/visual experience (many B&O customers do not have HD, never mind 3D) and ease-of-use.

When HD came out B&O was quite "fast" with integrating it into the BV-7 wasn't they? I think it was quite the same with the Samsung LED panels, it didn't take long from the first Samsung LED TV's to the BV-10. I don't think it is necessary testing all the TV panels (HD, LED, 3D) over years in marked contrast to a suitable software and hardware solution for digital music, ipod integration ect. The BS5/BM5 and it's software is obviously the complete opposite of the B&O "ease-to-use" concept and I wonder else who "tried and tested" the Beocom 5....

I saw a B & O document that stated, they would wait about 5 years or so, as 3D is still 1st generation as as such is not proven or stable enough yet.

A little like the Blu-ray situation. I read over the weekend that hologram TV will quickly replace 3D and that 3D in the home is just a shot-term gimmick.

 

What is hologram TV?

What is the point in having a 3D TV, if there are no 3D movies?🤔

Surely it's quicker to run a Google search than wait for a reply? :)
