Imagine if it got OLED, and a built in Stage fitted.

I would sell my organs on the black market for this.  i have been completely in love with the Horizon from day 1. I would love to own one.  I would pay ridiculous amounts of money for it.

 

But not with an old LCD and 3rd-rate audio.

Maybe an Lg oled 48 with the Beosound stage on a nice stand is as close to a Horizon upgrade as we are going to get. 

The sound processing to tv AND beolabs is what makes a true Beovision, a stage with any tv cannot deliver this unfortunately. So we need a new Horizon, dump the very bad Android, get a LG 48” in it or make the design worthy a mk2 Horizon and sell it just above price level of a LG 48-55 and a stage. That would be an awesome new offering imo!

I’m with laseralex and fantastic, this would surely be a hot product. I have no idea what the margins are like for B&O on something like this but it’s got a lot of appeal for people that simply don’t want or have the space for a 55 inch + TV. 

The icing on the cake would be to bring back some Bang and Olufsen UX simplicity/magic to webOS, but appreciate that’s very unlikely to happen, and I guess even if B&O had the appetite to develop this, their hands will always be tied for as long as they’re a junior partner to a business that views their proposition as much as a threat as it is a sales opportunity. 

I think the biggest concern on a Horizon v2 is the timing isn’t great given the likely prolonged global recession we’re entering, the target market for such a product is likely to take a hit in terms of income and mid term prospects. 

I have been told that a floorstand for the Stage and Lg oled will be introduced later this week.
