Beoremote One: Can I connect to LG OLED TV?

24 replies

I'm considering buying one of the 2019 LG TVs (OLED55E9PLA or OLED55B9PLA).

Does anyone know if I will be able to connect my existing Beoremote One to either of these models or indeed other smart TV brands/ models?

Thanks!

 

Right now it is only the LG C9

Thanks Emil for the prompt clarification!

Is this confirmed? I see the TV needs the Bang & Olufsen all installed fr the LG Content Store. I wonder if it is device software limited to just the C9 and if anyone has tried installing it on other 2019 models? I just bought a B9 (released after the C9 but cheaper) and am thinking of returning for a C9 if B&O don't plan on supporting the B9 😭 

Iam (fairly) sure it’s C9 and up, i think it’s the internal processor that matters. The B9 has the same as the C8, and the C9 and up have a totally new and much more powerfull processor. Don’t know why it matters but it seems to matter, maybe it’s the speed the signals can be processed at?

That would imply that the E9 should be okay since it also has an upgraded processor? I honestly don't think it is about processor performance and if anything would be a forced software lisoftware because the B&O harmony is a C9 underneath so that's the only platform they've actually done testing for. 

Another point is that the Beoremote One pairs with the attached B&O device itself, either the Stage or the Harmony, and not directly with the LG TV. Communication is then done with the network cable from the Stage or Harmony to the TV.

A Beoremote One may perhaps be paired directly with a LG TV alone, but likely with reduced functionality, for example without any LIST options or limited displayed options.

Regards,

Jean

I don’t think it’s a b&o restriction at all, iam 98% sure it’s something LG mandates. There is atleast another panel type that they’re testing on beyond the C range as i’ve been told.

B&O has no objection to making it possible for C8’s, but just like with apple, WebOs is a walled garden so LG decides what they allow and don’t allow.

I’m using a Beosound Core. Do you mean the 2-way communication between beoremote and the c9 is facilitated via the core?

Let’s wait for the 2010 models, where the better processors - probably - can be found in more LG-OLEDs.
