A bv11 as above 

I love my BV11, but not sure I'd recommend one in 2019. I still find the panel very sharp and bright (compared to, say, the smoother BV12 picture). It's quite old technology, too. I wouldn't spend nearly £3K on one.

Hi this package sounds very tempting - when compared to a full beovision is there any major compromise in user experience other than no ability to add speakers for surround sound - for example does the brone remote control input devices (eg satellite boxes) like a full beovision?

This solution does not offer PUC control, as with the BeoVisions.

Controlling external devices relies on the CEC feature of the tv, (the Stage) and the external box’es.

CEC often works, but is not always reliable or only partly.

It is tested with the AppleTV 4/K.

In my experience (my son has a C9) an LG bluray plyer works well - the controlling of his former Philips player was not perfect.

Time will tell - when people start reporting - which satelite boxes etc will work/work properly.

I guess noone knows all too much about this yet.

And most people will be happy with the tuners and apps of the LG tv and (maybe) the ATV4K box.

The bv11 Is timeless. 

The C9 panel is superb.

The soundbar and the compatibility between the panel and soundbar with the Beo one remote seems a winner.

I've had a response from my local dealer in the UK.

LG C9 panel 5 yr warranty. £1399

Brone remote £275

Stage silver £1250

Right now I'm thinking b&o stage will slowly kill off the second hand TV market. Especially when the bv11 is still commanding almost £3k used. 

That is true. But have seen Vogel's make one and sell a motorised bracket.

The bv11 is a great looking TV.

B&o should look to do a special edition model with and OLED panel. Basically an eclipse but in a BV 11 / 14 shape.

Bring it back

This is very interesting to know.

I assumed it would have worked also with a sky TV box too but I think you are right.

The brone remote will work the stage and c9 only.

Don’t be too hasty there - this will have to be tested.

CEC is a feature that is built-in to all newer HDMI-based devices.....but they don’t all work seamlessly together, unfortunately.

Please report back here, if you have a chance to test it - could be helpfull for other users.
