Prime positioning of the Saturn V Eric - excellent :-)

Thanks guys for taking the time to answer my question regarding the BV Eclipse/Avant.  I've ended up going for the 85", the space I have just about works for the size and I very much prefer the B&O feel of the Avant (Android OS excluded!).  I love B&O products in white, I have 2 sets of 5's, 1 set of 9's, 1 set of 8000's, 11-55, 7000 system, MX4002 and A9 all in which are in white.  The only thing I haven't got (yet) is a white 9000, but then I seem to have no more room for all of my B&O equipment!

I suspect you'll be very happy with the picture on the 85 inch Avant.

Obviously bigger screens can look more impressive than smaller ones, but that aside i was rally taken aback at the 85 inch when i saw one at a dealer in London.  The screen tech is better than the current 55 and 75 Avants.

When they switched to Android the screen tech changed from edge lit to back lit with global dimming (on the 55 and 75). That was a step down from the previous 55 and 75 versions - i had a BV14 with the global dimmed / backlight tech, and its not great at all in some circumstances. I switched it to a Avant 55 pre Android with edge lit tech and its a better screen.

But you're on much safer ground with the 85 Avant, because from pre Android to Android versions, the fundamentals of the screen tech didnt change, and remained pretty darn good.

You wont have HDR of course, but i'm guessing that isnt that important to you (not judging here).

Hi Michael, Erik and Willie,

Just wanted to thank you all for answering my questions. Caught part of it yesterday and just watched the rest.

@Michael, name pronunciation was spot on the second time, the non-French sounding 😁. By the way have you tried plugging in a core to your 50´s instead of the Eclipse just to check that the latter is not the source of your clicking, I cant recall if you said you did in your warranty video.

I am going to park the 5´s option for now. Considering the 50´s but not moving to the new house in Norway til end of the year so no rush. I would like to see how the issues pan out and if they release something in between.

By the way, the reason I dont buy B&O tv is I am split personality between Tech and Design. B&O satisfies the design and the sound of the speakers appeals but I have quite a high turnover with TVs. Prefer image quality and processing on the Sony´s and Panasonics, I also think they are all going into a neutral design territory the thinner they get. 

Anyway thanks again and I look forward to next weeks episode!  🙂

Kind regards,

Ammier

Double post

Good choice! 
We all thought that the Avant 85" would be best for your place. Please feel free to post a picture of your setup with the Avant when it is up and running. 🙂

And for me who also have a lot of Beo in white I have plans to customize the Eclipse aluminium front so it will be the same white as BL12 came in.

Haha! 
Yes, I thought it looked nice there. Don't know if it was you or someone else that in an earlier podcast wanted me to show the Saturn V.

It looks nice next to my white BL5s. 🙂

Yes it was me Erik. I saw your original post when you built the Lego set and promptly ordered one myself. Luckily I too have BL5s to put it next to but they have been in boxes for the past 2 years whilst building work continues. Should be moving in this summer and will post up some pictures then.

Well done on your pod cast - enjoyed it whilst ogling those white 90s!!!
