B&O and LG

68 replies

I guess it is now safe to expect LG OLED panels in some future Beovisions....

In this article (which is in Danish) they predict that a OLED TV from B&O will be available in 2017

That is also stated in the original Press Release:

"The first OLED TV produced by LG for Bang & Olufsen as a result of the partnership is expected to be launched in 2017. Further, the partnership involves collaboration in other areas such as license and product bundle activities."

Just wondering - LG is using WebOS as the SmartTV platform.

Untill now we heard, that the coming new BV's would use Android.

They talk of the B&O/LG BV's as tv's for 2017.

Will the BV's expected for this year (see what Roger writes in another post!) be 'something else'???

If yes, what?

This looks like a good deal, picture quality coming from Lucky Goldstar, boxed in a case from B&O with their sound quality.

Could be a hit.

 

Absolutely terrific news for B&O. This new set WILL be the original Avant and BV5 successor! Let's hope they contract a really breathtaking designer and totally go for it design wise! It'll probably be the price of a powerboat but I guess someone who watches a lot of TV will want it!

A strange announcement in a way.  They are about to release two new TVs, which will be superceded just next year with the best technology!

Let's face it, how many day-to-day regular B&O store customers will ever see or read that kind of announcement or anything on this board? Besides, an OLED B&O isn't going to come close to a current BV11 price point. If you were going to buy a BV11 now, if you wait for the OLED, it won't be price comparative.

Why?

I am sure these BV's will be in different ranges (also pricewise).

I am happy, if we will see a broader tv-portfolio from B&O.

Not everyone will be able to afford a 2017 OLED-BV, I guess.

I truly agree with Chris as the very minute I read it, I thought of the two new models and the 'old' Samsung LCD screens.

The OLED is every B&O fans dream I guess. I was talking to  guy at the gym the other week who has owned a family TV business in the area for 30+ years and I asked him if Samsung made the best performing TVs and his reply was "Oh gosh no, it's LG by miles". That was in terms of picture performance and reliability!
