Reminds me of a BV6, looks really good. just hope it does PL.

Very nice video! Contour looks great, but I´m afraid its priced too high if you look at the features you actually get. Would love to have one in my library though...

It dosent do PL - sorry

It does look stunning.! The Price starts at DKK39.999,-

Video is nice, music is good.
But why is the beautiful aluminium silver version not shown completely? Only from the side but not the full Tv, why? No OK from B&O?

I agree it does look good. The frame looks a lot nicer in these photos.

I am pleasantly surprised and happy for B&O at how many people seem to like the design of this tv but for me, it’s just more of the same. I am referring specifically to the design as the technical differences are obvious and welcome, but to those who have had BV10, BV11, BV14 and a few former models to some extent, where is the design difference? We are still looking at a screen with a speaker underneath it and a slight variation in frame trying to distinguish it, which just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Where is the evolution in design? In tech yes, for sure and maybe this is good enough for many people. For me, I want the subtle design differences that make it stand out and worth paying a premium for. Some examples that make a standard tv look a little different for me include:

BV7 - floating speaker, motorised DVD tray, the latter being design genius in my opinion

Avant - the motorised table stand, brilliant but why only on this model?

BV5/BV9 - the former being a great concept with 2 equal parts, the latter still ok and interesting

BV8 - the speaker design was different enough and I liked the manual tilt design for the stand

BeoPlay V1 - a 3D shape to it with great mounting options making it look and feel different

Then of course we have electronic curtains, B&O menu systems and B&O badge ownership. I said it in another thread, I can’t pay a B&O asking price to see an LG badge on the tv as that will be a constant reminder that I have paid a premium price for a non-premium product. It’s psychological and will always bug me.

It’s certainly not easy to come up with a new design concept these days and there’s probably only so much you can do with a tv, but I suppose that’s why I have always been drawn to the brand because they seem to make the impossible possible! Come on B&O, let’s have some of that old magic again!
