Hello! That was a very nice setup. Could you please provide a picture showing the cables leaving the wall and entering the TV? I am curious how to fit all neccecary cables (2 HDMI, surrond speaker cables, network and ML/NL cables etc. Your setup seems perfect, so I look forward to see a behind the scenes picture.
Thank you in advance.
Only 90 degrees Elephant. Only the V-1 currently has a 180 degree wall mount.

OK. Picked-up the corner panel today to accommodate the hinge motor. The panel, as can be seen in the following pictures, actually leaves quite a large area open around the hinge, presumably to allow for a lot of cables coming in at an angle. The B&O instructions for the hinge actually show a vertical surface mounted duct with the cables all coming in from below the hinge... in which case you have to wonder why so much space is actually left open around the hinge. The top hinge panel has a small cut-out that you have to remove, leaving the panel completely covering the area around the hinge. There is a cable tie that is held by the hinge.
I currently have just one (flat type) hdmi cable coming into the TV. I would guess that the TV will have no difficulty accommodating a lot more, although in my particular case I might need another hole in the wall. One of the HDMI points is actually on the top of the TV behind a small accessories panel.

I'm thinking about getting my BV11-46 wallmounted although i don't know if i want the original B&O mount with motor or STB brackets close to wall..
It all comes down to how visible the original hinge is... Is this a problem for you? I mean, can you see the hinge when you look at the tv slightly from the side?

The hinge is not visible until the TV is almost side-on to your line of vision..... at which point you can't see the screen.
I don't ever see the cables under the same conditions either. I chose to drill two cable holes some distance from each other. If you were bringing cables through the wall rather than from a duct below and you had all the cable connections ready then an alternative would be to drill a much larger hole in the wall, insert all the cables in advance, and then half cover the hole with the bottom edge of the hinge.

Just to add to the above..
In my situation a hinge is a necessity because of the TV's proximity to a corner.
If a hinge improves your viewing options then go for it. It is also one of the wow factor considerations that makes B&O stand out from the competition.
If you are not going to ever need to move the TV about then a hinge or motorised stand would be a waste and either a fixed wall or easel stand would be the thing to go for. Having said that I can imagine that some fixed wall brackets could be a big problem when you need to access the rear connection panel.

Looks perfect Graham!
The BV11 is really "tiny" compared to the monolithic appearance of the old BV5! Excellent.

Cable management is what made me wonder most, but the price is the same for the two mounts so i went for the hinge and a pair of Beolab 12-3 instead of my beolab 9's :)
