What HiFi article on both new releases including more shots of the A3:

Do you imagine the BeoPlay TV will be easily enough integrated with my current setup of a BeoSound 3000, BeoLab 6000 and BeoLab 2? Obviously there is no masterlink, but that shouldn't be a problem right... the two can both output to the speakers somehow?

One thing I don't think has been mentioned or asked (apologies if it has), but can this TV be controlled via existing B&O remotes, eg; the Beo4, or does it have its own dedicated remote. 

Yes beo 4
It was said somewhere that it comes with the new Beo4 (the one with the joystick) and actually requires this version of the remote. Info not confirmed yet.

This TV will not really work in a masterlink setup. It is a standalone product.

So no easy way for the TV and BeoSound to operate using the same speakers?

« Philips new range are coming out in september and the mid tier and higher end all sport 5 hdmis too aswell as looking incredibly sleek, i also think that when apple release there tv it will be a rap for the beoplay v1.

The fan base is strong for apple and i think that the design will be well ahead of the v1... the price ratio will be a big factor two as the v1 will be considerably more than the apple tv, i think people will think why buy the v1 when the apple tv will be cheaper and probably sport an even sleeker design just my opinion though. »

May be because B&O is different than all the other products on the market.

May be because we could see an apple tv in 50% of the homes in 2013.

And, personnaly, even if i have an iPhone and an iPad, i will never buy an apple tv or an apple sound system.

But, you're right. most of young people who buy apple stuff don't know B&O, its history, its qualities over the years.

I'm getting a new tv soon and it'll be either a Bv10 or a Bv7 , certainly not this ..thing

It looks like a rushed prototype imo.

Could someone please explain what is the actual point of designing a flat panel tv , then putting it at an angle with the tubular frame and using as much depth as a crt  ?? 😡
