dear All,
i have a BV 7-55 and I am looking for a bigger version TV.
now i doubt between the old version and the new generation Avant 75.
can anyone help me with the biggest difference between old en NG?
thank you so much for all your input and have a great weekend,

Hello!
I have (had) them both (3rd TV after 2 Mk1 - now Mk2)
From my point of view the Mk2 has a better picture quality (although only edge lit) and come with the HEVC decorder which means that you can watch 4k without any external device;
as written above the Mk2 runs on Android which does not do a good job; many features are lost (eg Stand: different positions are possible but TV does always start up with the same position - no difference between audio or video); Netflix - if prefered - is not offered which means the remote looks better; often TV does not start up - black screen for minutes till is does a self-reset; epg is not shown properly
for me most important change: TV comes with 2 CI-slots; Mk1 is able to distinguish between them - you can use 2 different CI (2 different pay-TV broadcasters) - the Mk2 can only use the second slot for recording another scrambled program; so you can only use the slots with the same pay-TV to watch and record different programs

Buy the MK1 version plus Nvidia Shield TV (pro) or an Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV.
Are you reading this B&O? Also one vote for the MK1I have a BV14 40 which is android and I’ve had no big issues. It can be seen by the app but it shows as offline and the green light comes on every morning at 4 am checking for something but who knows what lol.Hello!

Agreed - as an owner of the Avant MK1, it has no 4K problems.
Yes its not HDR, but then again neither is the MK2.
What 4k hardware problems does the Mk1 avant have??? I honestly have no idea what you’re saying here or why. My friend has one and works perfectly fine
