"Sounds like just a switch. I don't believe it is more or less than so. Software fixes is easy to promise as well. They are sellers I mean. They want money."

He he, and based on their recent experience with outsourced SW and messing around with code (Avant NG & BV 14), I guess they are not that keen on even touching the LG code as it simply works - or adding something that may interfere 😁

The information I´ve got is from a dealer that got this information from B&O. There supposed to be some "image circuitry" in the soundcentre. I´m not saying that its the same as the image processing in the legacy Beovisions.

Sounds like just a switch. I don't believe it is more or less than so. Software fixes is easy to promise as well. They are sellers I mean. They want money.

That's precisely why I said "no accusation". It's just dealer talk/rubbish again, sadly. People just need to think things through with some logic - and other users also not take something as 'fact' too, simply as they read a post on here.

I do wonder if the arrangement with LG is that for an agreed period of years LG will supply B&O with upgraded screens that fit the sound bar as they release them so that the Eclipse stays up to date for new purchasers.

Whether that would allow an upgrade path for existing owners should they care to discard their existing panels is another matter.

I think the most interesting interpretation of the information I received is that B&O is looking into the "B&O-fication" of the product, where I think the "curtain" is one important piece.

Hopefully the "HDMI 2" that pops up will be removed to.

That the curtain will come, was something that Struer communicated.

Time will tell....

Will B&O skin the user interface to have a B&O experience or will the flashy LG look stay there?

I hope/expect B&O pays LG some $$$ to make a B&O-skin with curtains, cleaner interface, etc. A few small improvements (colour scheme, fonts, no HDMI-sign) seem quite simple.

If all this fantastic up dates are/do come to the eclipse in time like the curtains

and the hdmi 2 logo disappearing then why not on the first day release of the tv as would have made the launch So much better and  any other on the way stuff would not have seamed so bad. Looks/sounds like the you buy

It and we will sort of fix it again over time???? Er.

 

Exactly. And how do we know the curtains aren't going to end up all glitchy like on the android sets?
This is an interesting read about the SoundCenter on the Eclipse: http://wp.me/p48hIM-1dO

Hi All

Geoff Martins blog (Tonmeister at B&O) now has an explanation of the functions included in the Eclipse Sound Center.

BTW. No mension of a videoprocessor. Just a Sound Processor with HDMI inputs.
