Apple 4K TV recommends it's Belkin ultra fast cable.

It works since the hardware upgrade

If Apple 4K recommended jumping off a cliff, would you?

yes.

And twice on Sundays

Good man fu21! 

Do ignore the angry negativity, it’s no wonder this community feels less and less relevant. 

Maybe B&O need their own Discourse community...

You should try it, you’ll feel better afterwards.

I was sceptical about the Belkin cable at first.

But i’ve changed mine (it’s not even really more expensive than other cables anyway) and I’m experiecing far les drop-outs now....

Copied from the thread of my review of Eclipse on FlatpanelsDK, where I have written the following:
There has been some speculation about the possibility of upgrading Eclipse with a newer panel or that
Eclipse should be updated from the B & Os page to include a 2018 panel. From a reliable source we have that
Eclipse will not be updated neither this year nor next year. The cost of letting LG rebuild a new one model to fit
in Eclipse both hardware and software is simply too big for it to pay themselves. In addition, it is estimated that
the changes from C7 to C8 are too small to make the user a significant partIt (our own tests confirm the marginal
improvement). B & O must have secured a sufficiently large amount of money Lot C7 to continue into next year.

So to summarise, this year's and next year's Eclipse will use last year's panels - excellent, that should help boost sales!

 

 

 

I am also in trouble with that lack of upgrade. I am indeed a B&O lover, but buying a screen which replacement has been replaced will be hard to accept. i fear this info is true, even if I am afraid it is not.

Little questions: assume I buy a C8 or E8 from LG; can I use B&O wired loudspeakers like Beolab 18 or 20? You understand what I mean...

The Belkin high speed cable is actually capable of delivering high speed which is necessary for HDR when watching 4KUHD content. When a HDR format is active, the sampling rate for colour and luminance signal is the same (4:4:4), and the bandwidth requirement is 18 GB/s. It can deliver speeds up to 48GB/s. A lot of the cables on the market are only High Speed 10 GB/s, and these cables will not work for 4K UHD when HDR is activated, or the frame rate is 50/60 fps.

The Belkin cable has been tested by B&O and it is recommended to use as a reference cable.

Yes you can.

Not as elegant integration as with a Beovision, but you can.
