Beovision 14 issues

The movement compensation of the picture is still not perfect on the .115 software release. A moving object often gets a halo, side effects with subtitles in combination with a moving background, etc.

I have had three 2015 Avants (all returned) and currently own the new Avant NG, I have had this issue on all of them.  I have had many discussion with B&O about it.  I thought this would be a much bigger issue with owners but strangely enough not many people notice or can see it.  The problem is caused by B&O's picture processing within the picture modes.  You will notice the issue is evident when using Adaptive or Movie picture mode but if you change to Game of Monitor picture mode (which turns off B&O's processing), the problem is not there.  The result is an image that doesn't feel quite as rich but the haloing on movement is not there.  I wish they would fix this!

We see it but it's not strange that artifacts appear in software inserted extra frames for fluid look.

The effects are much less visible on my Beovision 7 that is 10 years old (!!!). Current Sony TV's in a lower price range do not have these effects. I must say that B&O improved the processing when you compare it to the first software versions, but still there is a lot to gain.

Can you connect the H9 to the BV14 trough BT ?

 

I having trouble with stable connection. After switching of H9 I have to manual connect (pair) everytime to the BV14...

Apart from that I only get a limited volume even with both on full volume  I have put in a query to Band & Olufsen  

 

There is something wrong with the BV14 in terms of its audio output by Bluetooth....i tried a number of BT headphones and even a BT speaker, and the volume output curve is awful, almost unusable.......not a headphone issue, its a BV14 issue......

yea I gathered that as the headphones are great off the iPhone or iPad on BT.  I was a bit surprised when I asked the question when the top man at B&O for the north east didn't know about the issue. He's put the question to B&O UK.

 

As a BTW. I am awaiting delivery of my third BV14!

 

You as well...what's wrong with the BV14 aside from software issues?

I've lost track of what's software and what's hardware now. Despite three updates we've made little progress on stability and there is an issue with WISA. When the second one was installed it refused to see my BL18's so they had to hard wire them.

 

Given that and the stability issues, Denmark said replace it!  Who knows what number three will bring.
