My dealer told me there is a B&O logo and menu. He might be not yet up to date with contour. Is there difference between Exclipse and Contour on how native B&O app / menu is stored on to the LG TV?

Others may know for certain but since this is a Stage and an LG screen, the integration in terms of menus should be minimal (if any) comparing to Eclipse.

I’m very seriously considering to pull the trigger.

Not sure i can handle an LG logo at this price point. It would make me feel every time i watch tv that i overpaid ;) Can anyone confirm whether a LG logo is visible when turning on / off the television and in the web os?

Consensus seems the smoked oak version looking best?

Anyone has experience with b&o wall mounts? So i need to use the “moving” one or can i just simply put it against the wall with a mount without any movements being possible?

Surely there will be an LG logo?

Why wouldn't there be?

It will be the same as for the Eclipse and Harmony, in that all 3 use LGs web OS

Eclipse boots with Bang & Olufsen logo for just a few seconds due to fast bootup time. There is no LG logo on the OS, but it is LG’s interface of course.

Not sure if I remembered but Harmony does not have the logo anymore due to even faster bootup.

The Contour should either have no start up logo or a B&O logo imo. Also I wonder if you can adjust sound settings through the tv interface or that you need to app to do it on the Stage. In other words is it a Beovision (light) or are you constantly reminded that it are two different products with its own setup interface

I guess you need to adjust settings through the B&O app, as stock WebOS does not offer such functionality. But I don’t see that as an issue, as this is the case for several products and I suppose the app will recognise it as a Contour and not a Stage...

Sounds good! I wouldn’t mind to adjust through the app. Also, i can live without a b&o as long as it doesn’t start with an LG logo and doesn’t display the LG logo in the UI. I’m getting closer to the purchase ;)

But it does show LG logos, right?

I might be missing something, but startup procedure aside, the main UI is all LG's web OS

There is no escaping that - it's the bright colored UI, the very same you see on any LG OLED. Today's Beo visions are just a (functionally) LG consumer TV with added B&O sound part, and the ability to use the BeoRemote.

Not a bad combination by any means, but you don't get a B&O UI only anymore

That’s true.

But I think—given the fluidity of TV technology—that B&O’s decision to focus on delivering the best B&O user and sonic experience—with a premiere brand like LG, is definitely worth the money asked. There are more than a few paths to get the buyer into a price point they are comfortable with without sacrificing what the core of B&O has always been about: The sonic and design experience.
