No question: Eclipse all time. Android is not the best OS to say the least. It is sort of stable now but do not expect more updates.

Eclipse is way better, OLED, OS from LG just works, native Netflix and Prime, very good sound!

I have both OS’s and Eclipse is just better. My advise: go for Eclipse

I did not hear the Harmony, the people who have one say it sound even better than the Eclipse. Picture wise it is a bit better also but not a really huge difference.

I like and need the swiffel stand on the Eclipse, design wise I feel the Eclipse is more one design as the Harmony is all about the wing panels. Personally I do not like the little gap between the screen and the sound center when the tv is on. But then again in the beginning I did not like the Eclipse also and now I think it is one of the nicest design they have ever made, so balanced and special with the wood grill.

If you find the stand not magical...the wings are great but a bit too slow due to the screen going on instantly. The magic would be even greater if the screen going on is delayed.

My question was answered with: neither.

I went with an LG GX + Stage + BeoRemote. Looks amazing. Plus it has a brand new 2020 panel. My biggest beef with the Eclipse is you're spending £8000 on 3-year-old panels.

I'd prefer an Eclipse for sure - love the oak fret - but just can't justify the cost based on the technology.

Harmony is silly money for me.

I have the Avant 75 NG and i have been very happy with stability, WISA, PUC. I do find it a little irritating that the OS is not updated and native apps are few and far between, but it’s easily resolved with an AppleTV connected.
