Very interesting! I was just looking for a press release this morning! Now it's time to read some more 😐
The TV looks a lot better here than on the previous leaked ones, still want to see it in the flesh, but may be a replacement for my BV7-32

Agree.
Not too struck on he stand though.
Showing power wires/ cables is a first!

Same with beosound 2 pictures. Must be reacting to criticisms of "unrealistic" cableless promo pictures.Agree. Not too struck on he stand though. Showing power wires/ cables is a first! Graham
Horizon has Ultra HD resolution but not HDR (high dynamic range). It is equipped with 4 HDMI input, all of them HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2. This ensures that you can connect any 4K player, including UHD Blu-ray. Inside both of the 40” and 48” models there is a LCD panel with direct LED. 3D is not supported.
If you want the Ultra HD experience you typically need to look beyond TV channels and focus your attention on discs or streaming. B&O has equipped Horizon with a hardware decoder chip for both HEVC and VP9, meaning that you can stream 4K content from Netflix, YouTube, and others.
If you connect a 4K player and play a HDR enabled disk or stream a HDR film will this still play on the TV? Sorry if this is a silly question!
I like the new Horizon, the stands looked better than anticipated. HDR or not, for me it is not a big deal. Wireless surroundsound is more important.
Wonder how it sounds? It has small speakers (in B&O measurements) with 2 x 2,5" fullrangedrivers.
Looks jolly nice and I love all the stand options (except the wheels, seems you'd have to have a very specific look to your home for that to work (people generally don't have chairs with wheels on at home for example, but they do in the office). £2,500 isn't toooo bad for a high end 40" TV with integrated surround receiver and WISA including all the other niceties B&O comes with (device control etc.)
I'm more into sound than picture. I've got a 22 years old BV MX4000 and I'm really glad about it. From the first day, it gives me just what I want. I updated my sound set-up, but the BV has been always the same. It turns on when I press the Beo4, it offers me the picture quality that i need, the sound is simply incredible and it looks really nice. And the motor stand goes fine since the first day.
I like the BV concepts, and the BV10/11/14 concept is one of my favorites BV. But it offers me more than i need.
And now, with the Horizon, B&O has simply broke my heart. Minimalistic, but absolutely atemporal. In the flesh is even better. I was afraid because I thought that I´d find an LG tv dragged in a B&O costume. But I was wrong, and I'm glad about that. Is a BV 100%: materials, versatility, picture and sound quality and magical touches, like the turn on/off led, hidden in the frame.
Wisa, 4K, BT, BeoRemote1 BT... And interesting stand solutions...
I'm seriously thinking about to move the MX to my bedroom...😎
