Does make me wonder..

Chris, it's a 4K panel, it doesn't mean you're buying it to watch 4K. It's not a necessity. It's an option.

Besides, on a 55" TV, 1080p will be fine. You don't need 4K for a 55". 85", yes, perhaps.

The reason for buying the new Avant shouldn't be 4K. It should be the design and performance foremost, the price second and, last of all, 4K capability.

Theres one type of floor stand and it moves on two axis. The big plate can move 360 degrees and the smaller one, where the tube+tv is mounted, can be adjusted as well. Don't know how much though, but as there's cables connected there is a limit. Can't wait to try it out :)

As for the size, its a heavy and wide tv and theres the laws of gravity - i guess thats why the plate is that big.

so it's twice the price of a bv11 ?

I could be wrong, but I was told it's going to be £7250 in the UK, with a stand and remote. How is that twice the price of a BV11-55 (which is just short of £10K with stand and remote)?

There's so much pre-launch negativity on this board, mostly from people who recently bought a BV. Odd, eh? :)

I worked it out to be £7,700 so somewhere in between would be about right. A very good price point considering whats just gone before!

wish i'd waited now , lol

then again 55 is too big

maybe...

Why the end of the BSys4?

It is still needed and usefull for a pure cinema solution.

B&O tv´s are "less" expensive but you have to change them more often with minimal (if any) trade in value !

Times have changed and will see from tomorrow if it´s for the better.
