Saw both the small and large horizon in the flesh in the Copenhagen store today.
I have to say I think it is the nicest looking of all of the current tvs. The design is the most resolved of all the models. Certainly feels premium and not cheap.
The beovision 14 new wood frets were also on display and compared to those the horizon feels just as exclusive and I think a better design. The wood frets are not bad, but they really make sense if you have the wood frett speakers.
From what I could gather the horizon only had two speakers (not three like the larger v1) so the sound won't match the avant or 14.
I think this tv will be a winner. I loved the v1 (and own the of them) but it was never a real b@o tv. The vocabulary was its own thing that just didn't work with anything else being produced.
The horizon user interface seemed ok. It took a second to get into the settings menu, but once there everything fast and fairly elegant. From what I could tell (my Danish not being great) all the audio and picture controls from the old tvs are there.
