There was indeed a new update yesterday, at least for the Horizon.

Wat Kuyttendaele means that your Horizon downloaded the update that was released in week 5. Most owners have already updated to this version and it is not an in-between-update. The next one will be in week 10.

New Update here on my Horizon 40 (replaced model because of pixel error (green)).

• Neflix works very well now.
• Kodi for playind media files from diskstation and PC works excellent (subs etc)
• Sound is great.
• Little buggy over all, but not too bad.

Missing:

• voice recognition would be great

Love the rolling stand!

Hello,

i am from France and I follow this post because my dealer wants to deal my beovision 755 against the new ng avant 75 in giving the difference 

i read that the android system is not mature ( a lot of tv philips Sony at their launch had a bad android os) : a lot of bugs 

i think android system is just for music streaming ( like Spotify Deezer...) ,Netflix if you have a good speed internet,eventually multimedia like Kodi or you tube , and in France myCANAL  

but is the TNT tv affected by these bugs ? For example is the tv stop or reload without doing anything ?

I read all the negative critics for the user do you advice me not to buy the NG avant ? Is it better to wait ... for ... what ? The future lg partnership will put the new tv in June 2017 or 2018?

thanks to read all of us and sorry for my English 

merci 

The new TVs are still buggy, though from my experience they are getting better, especially the picture quality has improved some the first release.......i dont know the 7-55 that well, but it was supposed to have an excellent picture......the newer TVs have on paper not as good screens as the pre-Android versions (local dimming vs global dimming on the new ones).....that said, in real life its not clear that the new screens are any worse, the picture isn't as soft and subtle, but appear a little brighter, which some may well prefer in fact..........i am happy with my BV14-55 picture now, looks really good...........

go and try the new ones......if picture quality on old and new Avant's are both good enough, then i would go with the original 75 inch to get the original software platform.........otherwise wait for the OLED screens (should be excellent screen tech, though may face similar "new software" issues.....

Thanks sandyb for your reply

as you say with any tv now with firmware ( android or similar:webos,Philips Sony or Samsung) we have a period of "doubt" because we have bugs , we have to wish that the firm ,here B&O , will " work" on it 

it is why I think the first thing is how is the picture ? You have beovision 14 ,my dealer said that the new beovision has the same platform as the NG avant et the same screen : you seem to be glad with yours.. I shall decide ,but my dealer now have only the NG avant .. so I have no choice with the original avant

with your beovision 14 do you often use android system ? In real use have you so much Bugg? How you find your sound ? 

I think waiting for the future (hypothetic) tv lg partner as you say may have other adventures!

thanks

make no mistake, its been a bit painful, my main issue was audio dropping out......the Android OS is the OS for the whole TV, there is no sidestepping it....so i do love the look of the BV14, and the picture quality is pretty good now (though i will always prefer my 12-65 plasma)......its my second screen, so i didn't wait for the OLEDs.......if it is your main screen, it might be worth waiting to see the OLED B&O's, though as i said remember that will be on a different OS again (webOS most likely), so some issues may occur, though i suspect they will be relatively small compared to the instabilty of Android TV OS.......sound is very good, though from what i understand the sound on original Avant's (2014-6) and the BV11 is slightly better - the speaker specs of the new TVs look a fraction less powerful, though my installer says the difference in noticeable, both good, but the older TVs better.........if you want an original pre-NG Avant, you should be able to find one.......

Thanks sandyb

it s for my main screen ( replace beovision 7 55 full hd pretty picture and sound very with beolab 7.6) ... may be I have to wait oled in 55 or 65 there is no yet above this dimension I have friend who say that webos3 is stable ! But there is no idea if B&O launch these tv this summer or in 2018 ...I have search on net but I have not find any clue..

it seem that there is a new firmware on horizon (only?) which is more stable if I read the post before mine I hope it is a good new if some users can give us their conclusion 

i think about your advice 

supposed to be an interim software recently, but i haven't seen anything for my BV14.....anyway, its been more stable recently definitely, though others have had problems.......as for the OLEDs, who knows, but from what i hear, the tv's are more or less ready.....but i wouldn't expect anything very soon.....
