Puncher how would you integrate all the things in a external box, and still have seamless stable userinterface?

 

Also I think that it is a very short term thinking you have.

My guess will be that in the future we will se an BV10/11/14 design with OLED, and then it will no be plug and play.

Firstly I wouldn't describe the Eclipse as having a "seamless user interface"!

 

I don't think my thinking is in anyway short term, they have released a product under the Beovision "brand" and it should therefore be judged as such.

I truly hope the future is as you say, with real B&O designs including B&O picture processing etc

They seemed to do pretty well at that back in the BV12/BS4 days.

The design is very individual as it is with every Beo product. But for me, I like it. I think the design of the BV14 is still the most beautiful and elegant looking Beovision. Also liked my old Avant 55" very much. Very much of a geeky show of gadget, but the floor stand circle was to big and for a modern flat screen, it wasn't that flat. I like that the Sound centre sticks out a little bit (not the first Beovision that does that). It stand out. 

For those who argue that such good sound on a TV is a waste due to you have other speakers connected. Well, often when I watch normal TV I don't want to fire up the BL5's to hear the news reporter. Or when watching something at night time when other family members have gone to bed, it is also good not the fire up the BL5's. 

I hear what many of you have to say about the lack of effort by Beo. I can understand this. 
And for me that had a two year old Avant 55 mk1 was that the Eclipse was so much better in picture quality. Side by side the Avant looks grey and faded. And when you consider it only has One HDMI that supports 4K without HDR. The menus was kind of slow due to not two way Bluetooth. The cinematic curtains didn't bother me and wasn't a classic Beo feature for me. My old MX didn't have it so. And now the tv starts faster and like the new start up with a total black screen and just says Bang & Olufsen. Just miss it a little when turning it of when it just goes POFF and dark. 

So should one by an Avant or BV14 that Beo has put some effort in to but with buggy OS and tech that is not up to date our do you get a new TV with amazing picture quality that is easy to control. For me it was easy. 

Just to bad that the only TV Beo sells at the moment is the Eclipse. I would had hoped that the LG partnership should have done it easier to update exciting models like Avant and BV14 (need a much better name). 

What do you think will happen in the future to the Eclipse and the partnership? Will there be a >70" soon to mount?

Puncher is talking about making a B&O sounder and any tv can be mounted(Sorry if I have misunderstood) That was not the case with BV12. BV 12 is in many ways the same as B&O Eclipse when talking about connection.

You will never see B&O picture processing again, but instead you will get panels that are up to date, and not 1 years old when release as before.

Also I think Eclipse truly is a B&O design. a truly unique design.

Looking forward to see more pictures, and hear what you think in daily use :D

I agree it is a B&O design in itself until you switch is on, than it is a hybrid. I do not condemn them, and agree with your posting that it will help to get stuff out much faster. I also can understand why people like it and buying it. For me, it is still under discussion, but I am definitely not abandoning the brand.

For example, my loudspeaker purchase next year will be the Beosound Shape for in my home office :-)
