Rumoured - from a rather reliable source - price in Denmark for the BV Eciplse 55" is DKK. 63.000.

I think there is a mistake : the LG "wallpaper" OLED is only available from 65"... At approx. 8k€. If your price is for a 65" Eclipse, it would mean that the Eclipse is only €500 more than the LG version... Which would be a very agressive pricing in B&O terms, considering you get a full NL audio system!

Could it be the price for the screen only... You then have to buy the audio system for an extra 5-6000€

Not sure that makes sense, for them to sell screens separately, as they will be integrated into / require the soundbar / speaker to work even at a basic level.....after all they are not making a panel with a speaker, and then also a soundbar, as two separate product releases........and as with the Avant and BV14, Horizon, the sound processing (BS4 engine) is integrated into the TV offering.....

Doubtful about pricing....the 55 inch BV14 is around 6500 pounds, the 55 Avant is around 8000, so the 55 Eclipse is likely to be in the same postcode......so I suspect you are about right....

yes, 8300 euros is pretty close to the 6500 i quoted....ok maybe i understated a bit, but only a bit.....regardless, when was the last time B&O priced a Tv set cheaply? My point remains, the 55 inch Eclipse ( if there is one) will surely be in line with their other TVs...the Avant will be discontinued, and replaced by the Eclipse, which suggests even further it will not be priced more attractively than either the BV14 or the existing Avant.......

??? The Eclipse is not a 'wallpaper' OLED - would be strange to have a wallpaper tv on a stand.

Loewe offer their Bild 7 OLED tv's in 55" and 65" - why shouldn't B&O?

Note: the pice mentioned is for the 55" version.

Same here.. after numerous software updates my BV14-40 is pretty good!

.... which will then hammer the values of the BV14 and exiting Avant to the point that when the dealer makes a part exchange offer the customer will tell him/her to go take a hike.  "Cost to change" isn't something most people can work on - they just see "I paid x-amount for that TV 2 years ago, and now it's only worth y-amount - and that's a huge loss.."

On that front, I sympathise with B&O - but more so the dealers who just can't win no matter what happens when prices drop.

I hope B&O dealers across the world sell 25 Eclipse's a week. That would make me so happy.  I'm also crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs and nasal hair that it hits the ground running with zero software issues.
