Wouldn't help a Danish manufacturer though....

They could make their own Bang & Olufsen, then!

Who? The Brits?

Lord no....that would be a scary prospect indeed...

You should not expect that - only when they keep the design and upgrade to a newer tv part.

Just think its weird that its been on the market a long time and havent been updated at all when it comes to the WebOs.

 

That is how it is,

LG do not update the WebOs, and have never done it,

So no surprise here.

What are you missing?

Technicolor and better TM.

For all of you with failing WIFI-cards. LG and BO has released a SW update. It requires a technical to come out.

Would anyone recommend swapping my Avant 55 NG Mk 1 - for an Eclipse 55 with 4K and UHD?

being offered a part ex and £5k cost to change - worth doing?

I upgraded last year from an Avant 55 Mk1 to an Eclipse 65. 

Worth doing? Like always.......it depends on what you want?

If you want a compact TV with a simpler easier interface that integrates all you BeoLab and NL products, then the MK1 is it. I enjoyed that TV for that alone.

If you want a stand-alone TV with vastly better picture and Sound over the MK1, the Eclipse wins hands down. However, the user interface (LG) still drives me nuts and to this day it does weird non-intuitive things that you would never see on even the poorest buggiest B&O pure product. 

Lastly, you are throwing another £5k at a TV. TVs which are going extinct in the B&O line-up. Keep a Classic or buy-up to the last (EoL) TV and hope to stay functional until something better comes along. 

All-in-all, for me, I think in retrospect, the MK1 still has it on balance for me.

Hi,

I have also an Eclipse 65. I am very satisfied with it without any software bugs. I would say that the Eclipse is 99% perfect regarding software bugs. I can not see any drawback to buy the Eclipse.

You will get a much more modern TV regarding picture-quality and 4K formats (HDR and Dolby Vision) that you dont have in an Avant Mk1. You also have Deezer inbuilt in the soundbar and can play Deezer HIFI (FLAC-files) thru the B&O-app which sounds very good. You can not do this with the Avant MK1. So, I would say: Go for the Eclipse.

Best Regards
Martin

Mr 10percent and Martin

Many thanks, two answers and two views, I'll have a think about it.

In the showroom the 65 looks impressive and I wonder if it will be too big for our lounge - mind you that's nearer £8k to change.

Relieved to read this - Mrs S. and I bought a 65" Eclipse at the weekend. Delivery and installation Monday week - can't wait!!

We also bought a Beosound Core for the dining room, so our Beolab 6000s can finally come back out of the loft.
