Some already might have them. Spoke 1 dealer earier this week and told me that he was expecting this week the arrival. Talked to the other, who was on the road and expected the arrival today. That's what's they told me. So, exciting, for the ones who wants the 55' version.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Wow exciting! I’ve been waiting for years to see how this device will improve.

All sounds very interesting, but what does MK2 include? HDMI 2.1, CX panel etc?..

 

Since the only real benefit of the CX glass is for improved gaming - its actually less good than Eclipse V1 for movies - the primary development areas would be the pass-through of better sound support, eg. Atmos. But that would be a lot of dev work and I'm unsure they have the budget. But lets see. The shift to HDMI 2.1 will make it possible.

How would CX be worse?

It will be the gx-panel....

The GX and CX is the same panel.

That's left me somewhat perplexed, too. I've never seen a review of the CX/GX where it's argued the panel quality is 'worse' than the old 2017 panel.

Also, if the Eclipse v2 has already hit dealers, wouldn't we have a spec leak by now? Little confused by this.

The GX is designed for wall-mounting. It's a so-called unique design which sits flush on the wall and the mount hides within the back of the panel.

According to a danish forum, the main difference are a new bracket between sound center and the GX panel. And a back cover for the GX, in order to hide the cables.
