I like the easel stand Sal. But Sal, it's the same price as my Cervelo S3. Which one would you prefer ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) 

Oh I think you know my answer to that. Cervelo all the way, but perhaps because I already own a BeoVision.

So true Duels - everything is going obese! But then I see people watching Netflix on iPad Minis and laptops so maybe it's two fold.

Sal - super choice although I need a new tyre after last weeks accident. I agree though, the Horizon design looks very nice. Very much like my dark picture frames.

Fair point. A world of extremes.

"Interesting Markledee but come on, in 2016, for the price, the picture needs to be excellent as does the sound. £3800 for the 48" is crazy money for a entry level B&O."

You pay for the complete additional ecosystem either. Beolink / BR ONE BT / Sourround possibilities / WISA / B&O Brand / so the prize would be generally ok, BUT... HDR?, motorized stand control?, I am in conflict: BV-H, BV14, waiting for the next BVs, Loewe Bild 7, LG E6, Samsung 9000 serie?

So true Brigantines BUT I can understand a BV14 customer doing this BUT i'm not sure that the Horizon customer will add speakers etc etc. The way people are talking about it as a nice no frills design TV suggests to me that it will be bought as a TV simply to be watched and appreciated and thats it. In a way it reminds me of the BV6/22 I had way back. It just performed nicely on its own. Similar speaker layout to the new Horizon.

Duels have you bought a bicycle yet?

Hmmm. Loewe bild 7 will be £4,490 in 55 inch. Not bad for HDR OLED. And it has a soundbar that drops out the bottom of the screen. Motorised stands also available.

Brigantinus have a look at them all! Take polaroids / iPhone pix. Print them out. Put them on your coffee table. Some you'll dismiss instantly. For the others, visit again, what is it that you look about each one? How would it look in your place? What would you be feeding it? EG Apple TV, Downloads, 1080p TV or Blu-Ray?

After that, follow your heart and go with the one that feels right. Only you can decide that :)

Just read that netflix has been removed in a software update on BV14 and the Horizon. It will be very hard today to sell a smart TV for 40kkr SEK that is not allowed netflix. Not a good start to keep B&O in sales. 😂

OMG Michael how can 48" be too small for some people???

I like cinemas because the screen is amazing. The sound too. It captures you. It's nice for movies, I think. If I had the room I would build a home cinema. But a discrete big screen, nice too!

Paul. You're the second person to ask me that today. The other being a mega keen cyclist colleague at work who is keen I join the ranks of converted motorists. Not yet but I do intend to. (Don't worry I do keep pretty fit and hit the gym at least five times a week.) Slightly bizarrely I drive to the gym and then do 20-30 k on a bike that goes nowhere. Go figure.

As for the horizon buyer not adding speakers in not so sure. If you already have B&O speakers especially the wisa ones it's a doddle.
