Seems to have calmed down quite a bit - I had a BV14 for 9 months, so went through same software issues. The Horizon is a nice looking design isn't it...
hi, my Horizon "48 is pretty stable now. One thing still missing is a good integration within multiroom (not available in app for instance) but as others suggested on the forum, this is due in September update.The Android system has its flaws but not to the extent anymore it should stop you from buying one. Motion blur is still there but not so annoying as it was earlier. I like the design of the Horizon very much, really blends in my interior. I also really like that I can use a HDD for recording directly from the tv, no set top box needed.Although it has his little flaws, I began to love the OS and my V1 feels a little outdated. Picture wise they can compete with each other, V1 being softer and the Horizon razor sharp but in dark scenes not the best. You can alter this to certain extent. My worry would be that as the old OS (BV11/V1) is not being supported anymore, in short time this will go for the Android OS also. Hopefully B&O takes all negative feedback regarding the lack of B&O DNA in the new LG OS seriously and is willing to form a dedicated software team that keeps guarding the original B&O, Android & WebOS with respect of integration and look & feel of a worthy B&O TV. But this is a little of topic thought I'm sharing 🙂Cheers
Hi I have a Horizon 48 and it is now working quite well. Except multiroom still does not work as it should. I really like the design but owning it has not been a good experience. It will be some time (if ever) until I will think about buying B&O again.
Stability improved. However, after the June 2017 update, the number of crashes unfortunately increased. Android is the weak spot of the Horizon. Motion blur is not 100% as stated above. A year after the introduction the B&O app is still not supported, despite the fact that this was used as selling point upon introduction. And now the Eclipse has arrived, I do not know if B&O will continue to support Android for a long period. I seriously doubt if B&O will (and can) get this TV perfect.
i've had my Horizon 40" for nine month now. it has been much improved since first release and the only thing that is missing now is the full integration with the beomusic app. it has multiroom so if you have another source playing you can join that source.
the picture is good, the sound is good. the beoremote is imo the best remote on the market. still like the looks very much. i have the stand with the wheels, very practical. i still think it is a good buy. had a samsung before, hated that tv. the Horizon is, even if it is not the fastest, a joy to use.
It should be the fastest it's the only one on wheels! 😕the Horizon is, even if it is not the fastest, a joy to use.

Agree. When trying to contact B&O customer service they're unable to give anything but ignorant responses. As it is, I've bought an expensive computer monitor with halo effects on any object moving, not a TV.😭
Adding to this thread; I, long time B&O customer, am considering a Horizon, and inevitably also compare to competitors; like Panasonic, Sony and Samsung, in 40" size. Traditionally, the strong points that causes me to purchase a Beovision are; sound quality, and a quality remote control. (aside from getting a nice TV of course) As far as I can see, the situation has not changed very much in that respect. Buying a 'other' marque TV still comes with a sub-par remote and sound. The main question now is; how far behind the competition is the Horizon regarding picture quality? No-HDR etc, I know. But how important is that in daily/real life? The price is high, about three times as much as the competition. Will there be a new Beovision Horizon/40" TV next year, perhaps with better specifications? Questions...
Who knows when? But given the other BV'S are being discontinued, Eclipse aside, there should be one new TV is my guess.I went for an ex display Avant recently as a second screen - as HDR us not important to me right now, and everything works on the Avant (pre-NG)You also don't know whether a new BV from the partnership with LG will be to your liking, looks and price wise.All comes down to when you think HDR will matter to you - for me it was 3 years away, so getting a non HDR set was fine
