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.
I wonder if I can take my GX 55" and use it with the new soundbar/setup? I bet not, but would be interesting if you could!
I’m not convinced that an Eclipse with a GX panel can wall mount in the same way that a GX on its own can.In other words, if the Eclipse 2 does / can use a GX, my bet is that it will still stick out from the wall by the same amount / in the same way that the Eclipse v1 does.Which would kind of ruin the point of using the GX, for those like myself that like a flush fit to the wall.I wonder if I can take my GX 55" and use it with the new soundbar/setup?

The GX would be used to hide cables. The power cable is not possible to hide on a CX.
Which would not look very good on a Beovision.

I'd take my GX 55" off the wall, leaving the GX 65" wall-mounted, then would put the 55" on the "Eclipse v2 stand" (if it's possible). My view is, B&O might not even ship the panel and leave a dealer to drop in this component locally, thus reducing shipping costs, which would enable me to action my plan.
Only snag is, it's an expensive plan! And I have other priorities for the next few months (buying a new house for one).
Still not sure whether that makes the GX mount flush to the wall or not though I hope so, though I concede it doesn’t matter to everyone.The GX would be used to hide cables.

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?
Brightness across large part of spectrum.
Can you explain what you mean?B Brightness across large part of spectrum.
Well, I guess a new panel would mean updated HDMI-inputs nevertheless.
