B&O have always been accused of making products using other manufacturers products....e.g. video machines.

 

They just take the best that is available...tweak it and package it beautifully. Nothing new there.

 

 

 

What have they tweaked apart from adding a sound bar? For an extra £8,000 I could get the orchestra round for a night or two!

I don't think you can call the soundbar a tweak...its much more than that...plus lets not forget about ease of connecting other B&O products but the end of the day you paying for the name as well. If you don't want to pay for that then you get a normal LG I guess. 

The press release just talks about connecting external speakers via WISA. Does it have Powerlink connectors for connecting non-WISA Beolabs?

Yes.

I have updated the article at recordere.dk with many more pictures and specs on connections and more.

Thanks Lars / Sandyb!

Good overview of specs at the bottom of this article with regional pricing:

So the pricing was higher the thought at:

BeoVision Eclipse 55” incl. Wallbracket, fabric speaker cover and BeoRemote One: € 9.120/ DKK 69.490/U$ 10.990/£ 8.290 

I do like it, with a black fabric speaker, maybe as an all in one solution it would be nice to have but I love my Beolab 20's and the additional price here is just too high for me personally. Having said that if money was not a consideration I would probably go for it. 

I like the design - first off i was like huh, now i get it

What's the alternative though?  You go for a regular LG and a BS35 beneath it?

Key takeaway from the article: "The company no longer has an in-house video development team"

time will tell if this is a good thing or not...
