Folks
Is the current Avant 85" compatible with the HDR standard which is being splashed around the CES. I am actively considering the 85" version but will wait until I get the confirmation that Avant panels / firmware / connections are HDR compatible.
Sincerely appreciate guidance.
I am very sure the Avant it is NOT "HDR compliant" . What makes it even more difficult is that different manufacturers have their own spec on HDR.

Definitely not!
As Hiort writes there are even different ways of realizing HDR - what will be the standart or if the manufactorers will have to support several standarts is yet unknown. This is something, that the next months will show.
Who knows - maybe they will (can) upgrade the Avant. Things are moving fast - even by B&O nowadys.

I seriously doubt that. The HDR technology is in the panel as well, and not only in software.

That is exactly the reason, why I choose the word 'upgrade' instead of 'update'.

Until actual watchable material turns up in large numbers, and with the tech still evolving, I could never imagine investing large amounts of cash in a tv at the moment.
Trust me, if an equivalent to the 7-55 came out I'd buy it, just not yet. Fascinating times though watching it all finally come to fruition.
Just opened a letter from the B&O dealer who sold us and installed our V1 enclosing a £1200 loyalty voucher towards an Avant.

Thank you very much for your responses. I have decided to wait until I get some more clarity on B&O's plans on the HDR introduction. It is too important an upgrade to miss on such an expensive television.
Let's keep this discussion alive to share what we learn individually.
