It looks great. But seems incredibly overpriced compared to a stage, stand, LG CX, beoremote combo. You don’t get any additional features. B&O seem to have missed a trick in regards to the PL/surround sound capability - the Horizon did it!! Seems like a significant downgrade and a lazy decision to simply plug a stage into a LG tv and call it an “entry level” BeoVision.

It is exactly that - lazy.
Either lazy with respect to the included functionalities, or lazy with respect of pricing it similarly to their previous entry level TV.
That entry level TV had expansion capability, this does not.
Which is a shame, because in certain colour schemes it seems to look pretty nice.
Of course its meant to be stand alone TV - but in that case there are plenty of much better value propositions in the market, for half the price or less.

Not wanting to start the "is it a beovision" thing again but watched "how do they do it" last night where they showed the building of a bv10.
No comparison, not even remotely! (sic)
One thing I wonder is, wouldn't the picture reflect in the frame when in low lit room?
I thought it was the reason why the frame in the BV 10/11/14 was beveled to the outside and the Horizon frame was dark.
The youtube video seems to answer this a little bit.

Any info on whether the "naked" Stage will work on its own, without the Contour Frame?
Yes it will, same as a stage, hdmi & cat connection.
In Sweden:55.000:- any color incl textile front and any stand65.000:- any color incl wood front and any standWow, very good price! At B&O Copenhagen pricing is as follows Contour with cloth + wall bracket: 5.360 Contour with cloth + table stand: 5.460 Contour with cloth + floor stand: 5.680 Wood + 690
Location: Sweden
My B&O Icons:
I wonder if the frame will be sold separately so we can benefit from a discounted LG panel through bulk suppliers
Also, does this mean the Stage is getting a wood fret?
You can get a wood fret for the Stage -although not from B&O (yet):
My B&O Icons:
The price would be fine if it included a motorised stand.
Anyone already informed about the pricing of the Contour elements:- LG CX48- Stage without frame- Frame I tempted to get a LG48 upfront and later get the frame / stand / coverThanks
