Okay from what i've read summary of features

Lcd tv display type 100hz/120hz

Lan or wlan wireless antenna included in the box

5x hdmis

1xusb

3x powerlink two channels each based on RJ45 connectors

1x Av input for connecting analog equipment

Pin code protection

Integrated 5.1 surround sound

Space for an apple tv that can be hidden in the patch panel behind the cubecables it incorporates advanced technologies to optimize picture and sound

The specs are good. If it had been link-able I would have bought one for my bedroom.

We will have to see that one in the flesh, but yes, it actually looks a lot like the old Connect...

Am I missing something .... 3 speaker connections (plus inbuilt centre speaker?) and yet 5.1 -- surely at best it is 3.1?

Also, have I missed references to aerials and DVB modules -- or is this truly an internet age, monitor solution that is leaving the 20th century behind ?

4 flights in one week is a tad excessive !

actually your point about the plastic discs is a good one ... I have a small inventory of gifted BluRays and I still can't decide whether to buy a BR player (amazing how the cheapest BR player price is now below AUD100 and almost down amongst the cheaper DVD players).

however that then leads to the point of why so many HDMIs if in the end everything comes over the internet - it would be funny if within 5-10 years the incessant demand for more, more, more HDMI connection points became academic

In the old days - before DL passed away - loewe slavishly copied b&o , now , it's looking like it's going the other way around..

oh dear..

that tv looks awful , sorry , the stand looks like a bbq prop from homebase

Loewe is terrible in terms of material and feeling... I m sure that when we will see the new beo play v1 in the shop it will be' really interesting... Now we can't apprenciate the materials and the real design. For example the stand, in my opinion will be more interesting, a sort of industrial feeling..

Based on the photos I already own the stand; it's called a TV Table.

Thanks for posting this...... it must be a joke right?  What a pitiful design, particularly of the 'stand'.

TV is ok - it looked better in the close up photos I saw earlier this week - but the stand isn't great, I'll agree.
