Maybe the Android tv coming will have what you need? 

I have been  wateing for Mk2 Avant but  not going to happen I think.

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.

Am email by B&O points at my wallet offering an Avant 55" at 1,000 € loyalty discount. It would be tempting if there were enough €€€ in this wallet ...

Amazon and Netflix is not on Apple TV, and Apple TV is only 1080p.Also the TV has full backlight array with local dimming for £4995 it's a bargain.

I meant only Netflix, not both on Apple.Regarding 4k content there is loads and you can really see a difference in picture, my two bv7-40 mark 6 are good but I admit the Sony displaying 4k content is a big step up.

Unfortunately I think it's a case of seeing where the tech settles, and being happy with it. I am happy with my 7-55 I got two years ago, 

but if I had I bought it when it came out I'd be ecstatic, considering it's still technically relevant.

That is exactly how the the owners of the current Avant should think.

It is - from an overall point of view - an excellent tv.

And why focus on the things, that you don't have, instead of enjoying, what you already have?

I still enjoy my tv, even if I know that I could get something better (e.g. the Avant).

But knowing how technology has evolved/evolves, I (sorry B&O) would not buy into the current Avant now.

With my financial possibilities, I will/I must wait to see, what comes ---- from B&O.

If I could afford replacing my tv after 2-3 years time, I had bought the Avant right away.

Of course B&O could only built the Avant as is - all the nice things (HDR....), we ask for, simply weren't available, when it was conceived.

Still, I am sure that they won't rest - they simply can't excist in the tv market, if they don't offer a new tv and/or a hardware upgraded Avant/BV11.

And we need the tv - the BV is the hub of a B&O setup.
