Seriously? Having had one for just over two years, my opinion is that is the nicest looking out of all of the Audi's. The rear lights are super and the design has worked incredible on the convertible too. For me, the whole design has been perfect - young, sporty, athletic and elegant all at the same time. I couldn't fault it in anyway!

Serious. I studied with him, yes. He's Canadian and I thought the A3 sedan was for US and China markets rather than the UK but you see a few. 

I'm very excited by this, B&O really needed to get OLED panels given what they achieved with Beolab90 and the older tvs. B&O needs a true halo TV to compete with OLED.  I have a 2015 top spec Samsung S-UHD,  it doesn't even come close to my LG OLED side by side. The dynamic range and colour of the OLED just knocks LED off.

I think this partnership makes great sense for both makers. At the large end of the TV size/market B&O can still be competitive even with the cost of OLED - you get surround decoder great speakers, integration. OLED prices are dropping quickly so today's prices are not good indicator of medium term prices. Who knows maybe B&O will add their flair to the LG webOS and audio - lots of opportunities for improvement. It doesn't make sense for B&O to attempt to make or design every critical parts of the TV - even Mercedes, BMW, Aston Martin don't.

Well it looks like I could be getting a B&O tv finally :) one with OLED!!

so the new tv's in the summer are led and a half year futher down the road Oled.

From 2017 will new Tvs have this engraved on the back?;

 

"Designed in Denmark, Assembled in South Korea"

 

Seems like certain CEO's didn't fall asleep in MBA lectures, after all 😕

I would never buy another Bang & Olufsen TV.

 

In the approximately two years I had it,the BV 7-55 Mark 2 was the most unreliable TV, both in terms of hardware and software, I have ever owned.

 

Whereas the LG OLED I have had since October 2014 has been entirely trouble free.

 

 

I still don't know who in their right mind would ever buy a B&O TV. It is the most overpriced product I have ever seen.

It is probably like this one in the LG Signature series.

I guess you never tried it. I will say that the BV7 was a let down. But the new AVANT is a killer product simply a pleasure to use, and the beoremote one is great.

I sure have, several times.

The motorized stand is the best part about it.

The remote is nice but very limited unless you have all B&O equipment.

For the price B&O charges for these sets there is NO EXCUSE for them not to be OLED, 4K and 25% larger.

Even paying for a 4K is stupid considering they are just LCD LG panels in a nicer body with some software tricks.

They are absolutely not worth the money and will be antiquated in just a few years, like all TV's.
