Beovision Avant OG Vs NG??

Dear Friend of beoworld!
difficult to say; I have/had them both and I would wish my first one to come back again
picturewise the new one is better and tunerwise 4K Integration has been done more properly (HVEC); I did not see any difference between HD and 4K on the old Avant
all the other Thinge - B&O Integration, menu, on screen Display have been gar better on the old one
e.g.: stand: old Avant remembered stand options for Audio and Video - new one does not; epg Guide one new one works terrible or Even not; Common Interface: old one Could handle two different cards- new one can not; TV Apps: old one did not have any - but new one does not offer anything better- so if you want to stream you would have to get a third party product
best regards

Thank you so much Elmar
I was able to get a serial number of the one I was looking to buy.. does anyone here have access to look it up to see if it’s a NG or not?
I have the original Avant 55 and prefer it. It doesn’t have the android system with buggy B&O apps that crashes the entire tv now and then.4K shines on it and I only use external sources (Apple TV 4K) so HVEC support in the tv itself is not necessary in any way since the external box decodes it properly and very well. I enjoy the system fully and it’s display. The NG editions uses a cheaper display with a fixed backlit that isn’t zoned as the better backlit models. The older Avant is edgelit and does zone dimming. It’s better but of course not the best either.All in all I’d say the original one is way better and NG is a model only introduced to save costs.
Completely agree - I had an Android BV (14), and the screen/ panel technology is worse than the Avant MK 1.I wouldn’t underestimate how much the Android BV’s with their limited dimming is bad with dark scenes in movies and some TV programmes. It was good with sports but difficult to watch for plenty of other material.The Avant MK 1 I have now instead is a much better all rounder.And the operating system is rock solid
I'm in agreement. Mk1 all the way for me.
Hmmmmmm, 🤔
I have a serial number, would you guys be able to tell what version it is?Whether it’s Mk1? Or NG?
If it starts 24***** it's a Mk1.
What are the first 4 numbers?
