Interesting that a retailer has it on display but it’s not up on B&O’s website yet....?
Anyway, it looks very, very nice to me. It looks like a Horizon with its deep frame. But I’m not a buyer because I want 5.1 surround. I’m sure it’ll sell well for those who want a smaller TV and sound bar.
I wish they made a 55” Harmony.
Agreed, the design looks pretty average
Looking at that Contour in the dealer's window, I'd have to agree. Too much plain aluminium.
But didn't someone say a wood version is on the way? Not sure if I read this correctly.
Looks like a good package. I’m just worried about the stand. It looks very chunky and not elegant at all. It’ll look better at a BV7 stand with an STB adapter.

From what I´ve heard, the wood version only involve the speaker section.

My B&O Icons:
The aluminium seems to be anodised matt.
Te anthracite could be amazing.
Unless my eyes deceive me, I think above the Bang and Olufsen text (top of speaker/bottom of tv) you can see what appears to be the LG badge; for me this kills it immediately. Why would I pay a B&O price to see an LG badge? Makes no sense to me whatsoever it really doesn’t.
I quite like the appearance, but I honestly prefer the look of the Horizon. (I really LOVE the way the Horizon looks!)
But I just can't fathom spending $7150 USD (6042 EUR) for it when I can buy the exact same TV for $1500 and the same soundbar for $1750. That means B&O are charging $3900 USD (3300 EUR) for the stand and the frame which holds them together. That's just silly.
My B&O Icons:
Agreed Alex on price vs specs etc and I also prefer the design of the Horizon.
I’m interested in a new Beovision but as you say the value for money for me is not there. This is a recurring theme in recent years aside from the Android failures.People are happy to pay a bit more for a B&O TV for the form factor, one remote, sound and ability to link to a surround system but this gap is too much. I have a reasonable middle class professional salary, and even I can’t justify a B&O TV. I’d like to know who buys B&O TVs these days apart people on this forum that are fans...I quite like the appearance, but I honestly prefer the look of the Horizon.
