BEOVISION ECLIPSE

I've gone back and forth with the purchase decision for all of the reasons everyone has raised here.

Eventually decided to bite the bullet and go for the 65" Eclipse.

Not to rehash everything that has been said but in person, the "design" of the television really is quite  striking.  There is something about the integration of the speaker and television that does not come across well in pictures (to me anyway) but seems perfectly natural in person.

Primary reason for purchasing the television for me was full integration with the rest of the B&O ecosystem.  I have a pair of BL50s and being able to have the television and speakers work seamlessly together (with calibration, etc.) was a critical factor.  I know that I could do this with a third party box and other television manufacturers but I place value on simplicity and having everything work seamlessly together.  

If I did not have the BL50s, my television choice would very likely have been different but as it stands, I am very happy with the purchase.  

Now I just need to wait for delivery....

Even with these 'good points' the reviewer still awards the Eclipse 4/5 but it's direct competitors (Sony A1 and Loewe Bild 7) both 4.5/5 so to say that this is the best TV yet from this particular brand is not saying much in my opinion.

From the summary in the article that is purely down to the cost/value proposition of the Eclipse which B&O is rarely going to get 5/5 on.
I struggled with the LG’ness of the TV before purchase. But to be honest if you use the remote to jump directly to sources (as should be the way with B&O) you do manage to avoid the fact it’s an LG a lot. I’m really happy with it. But look forward to BLGW integration and would still love more B&O interface to come (curtains and volume!).

Very happy that the TV works as a sound system more effectively than previous B&O TVs though (Bluetooth, Airplay, effective Multiroom etc.).

As if does have Bluetooth and all the AV audio processing built in, what’s stopoing B&O integrating the M5s as satellites?

Beovision 7-55 Mk2, Avant RF 28, Beolab 5, Beolit 15, Beoplay A1/A2, Beocom 2, Beotime, H3 ANC/H8/H6/H2, Form 2, Beoplay A3, Beovision 5-42 connected to a DVD1

Sound SYNC issues. If you want to use them for music then multiroom should work fine. If you want surround sound that syncs with video image then it has to be WISA as I understand it.
Heard that Eclipse cannot integrate a Moment yet. Could be good to know..

Hopefully fixed soon.

Yes, that is a fair point.

Bang & Olufsen Copenhagen is offering the Eclipse with a 25% discount on Black Friday. Feels kinda stupid towards us that just bought it for full price.

It may be a measure of just how much they're overcharging for it!

Ban boring signatures!

As with every single other product from every other manufacturer that will be deeply discounted by a similar percentage, or even a larger percentage, on black Friday.
