Here it is on display already.

Needs to be seen in real, but on the picture it looks like a fake, DIY Beovision. Lacks the delicacy of other Beovisions (from 1 to 14, Horizon, Eclipse and skipping the 3).

Same. It's the most beautiful affordable to me (in second hand) Beovision. The only one competing, but out of my reach being the 14 with wooden grill.

I also really like the Horizon, but it is very rare in 48 inch version and also much more expensive than the 40 inch version on the second hand market 🙁

Price comparisons to the Horizon should also bear in mind that the Contour is an OLED, whereas the Horizon was a (not very good) LCD. To me that should account for about 1000 GBP/EUR of difference.

That all said, the Contour is so very uninspiring design wise, whereas the Horizon was pretty nice, albeit far from a classic.

I’ll give B&O a B- for effort on the Contour and I think even that’s a bit generous.

I love the Horizon design too but the price tag and also subpar LCD quality makes it a no-go. Thus I did a "DIY" with a 48" OLED LG and a Stage, both mounted to the Horizon vertical Stand.

Though now I'm wondering whether it will be possible to buy the Stage Version of the Contour and use without the frame with an existing 48" LG, could look even better.

The Horizon is a modern classic. At least the stand on the Contour is an improvement over the horrible floor stand the Horizon had.

I disagree. I find the trolley stand beautiful surprising and very B&O. The rotating stand a little less but still better design that this thick ugly contour stand.

Again, looks like "Almost B&O but not even close"

I was talking about the rotating stand as you call it. I’ve got nothing against the trolley.

The BV Contour stand is not bad. It reminds me of the static table stand for the BV-7 one.
