But there was no hardware changes the sound center for this, right Miki? It’s just that a buyer can use either of those three panels interchangeably. Right?
Eclipse or Harmony?
Yes, correct. Other than the very early models can't carry the 88'' because it was a lot heavier than projected. Most people won't have that version, I happen to have that one but never intend to go that big anyway😎
Wondering where in the Eclipse there is room for 3 power leads to be connected to 1 and still have room for an ATV4K?
Anyway looks like I’ll be ordering the Harmony 65 next week, using my AAPL profits, maybe Apple should do the same by buying B&O? 😁
Both Eclipse Mk2 and Harmony have Airplay 2 with WebOS 4.5 (AppleTV app is available).

Will do. Currently saving the bickies.That’s great news Michael. Looking forward to seeing a picture or two!
Talking about LG‘s webOS version 6 is in the making (for LG‘s 2021 models), I doubt it if it will be released for older models, up to now LG has never done that. So my new Harmony will still be on webOS 5.x in 3 years time whilst LG is on version 8? What does that mean for supporting apps on the ‚old‘ webOS?
I never heard that usp for an eclipse told by B&O. y? They differ in soundcenter design, some specs and rsp. And it will be more a matter of taste and budget instead of upgradebility guarantee imo.
It was definitely a thing. Dealers discussed it with buyers and we've spoken about it numerous times on this forum - granted, more for the v1, but it was discussed.
I find it more odd people missed these discussions on the forum!
IDoes the harmony run on webos and support airplay 2? When using airplay 2 or NL, does the tv stay turned off (not opening the “butterfly”)?
Do you think it will remain upgradeable in the future?
As long B&O manufactures new brackets when new LG panels with different designs are released, there will be no problem. Assumed that the new LG panels also have the option for the B&O app to be installed. You will need that to setup the Harmony(Eclipse) for audio, network, beolink etc.
The tv turns on, give you information about the source and shuts down after a few minutes. Whether it comes up depends on the chosen audiosetting. You can setup the preferred audio for videosetting for when you start your tv. Just like with the older BV's. When you choose the center speaker in one of your programmable settings for your music to play, the tv will rise up.
About the version of WebOS, it doesn't matter. During normal use, you will hardly or never see the WebOS. You might be worried more about when Netflix or other native apps are changing their software whether the WebOS will support this.
