You seem to know!

Tell us more, then.

Beovision Horizon returned now to my local dealer. They really tried to give me a great offer on BV11, respect for that and giving full refund after 6 months. But the price and the outdated technology vs. what I could get in an recent LG OLED was not comparable. Ended up with an M5, H9 and an awesome LG OLED. Never Android again, that's for sure.

Hopefully looking forward to a software update (maybe 10th week according to my dealer) I still consider a BeoVison Horizon 48" ...

@CarJen, enjoy your LG OLED. I had a curved one before I switched back to B&O.

I still love the sight of my Horizon, it is gorgeous to look at whether it is switched on or off. It is a beauty.

Picture quality has improved significantly with the last update, more black than blue but it will never be OLED quality.

I have less bugs, so i guess we are moving in the right direction.

Shame, but I understand your decision as I am faced with the same choice and also find myself drawn more to an LG OLED. I don't know whether to wait until later in the year to see if B&O bring out an OLED or to just go ahead and buy the LG. I can leave it a few more months as I am completing on a new property so not ready quite yet, but it is frustrating not to have an easy decision to just go with B&O. If there is a 30% price reduction, as suggested in another thread for the next B&O tv then that could definitely sway my decision, assuming it works that is!

What made you switch back?

Just to add my experience to the the comments. The BV14-55 was installed mid January and my main problems with the old software were poor PUC control and flaky Beoremote1 connection with the TV. Since the 31st Jan update everything has improved and the TV now works well. Mine is a relatively simple installation with just Sky+HD, a Panasonic 4K DVD and a 5.0 speaker group (BL5 + BL6000). The picture itself is wonderful and looking forward to SkyQ for some more 4K input.

Best wishes

@BAND'OH!, It came down to quality assurance, honestly. I saw the 31JAN release note they put out, and found that only three of the 14 SW bugs i have found and spend time on reporting were fixed in the 31JAN release. I know they receive feedback globally, but it was fairly disappointing to see, so i lost faith in them after 6 months of frustration, that they would deliver the quality they try to sell their Customers.

I ended up with i had bought a tv, which looks awesome HW-wise, but was crap SW-wise. It just seems like B&O spend all the R&D budget on design and HW, and suddenly realised that they better put in some SW as well, and quickly threw in cheap beta Android SW that would never have passed QA in B&O 10 years ago. Also, i really wanted to try OLED, so at the end the jump easy for me - but still would love to have a fully functional BV - with OLED and no Android SW :-)

My local dealer were also very straightforward saying that the SW not were B&O's biggest success and that dealers were very frustrated with the arrogance from HQ that they basically gave nothing to the dealers to heal the pain to the Customers. I am a recurring Customer at my local dealer, so it was his decision to take back the tv, not B&O HQ.....

My Horizon will be switched for a brand new one. If the new one has the same strange issues, there is a big change that the software is to blame. If not, there has been a hardware issue in my Horizon as well.
