LG and the new/coming BV's - interesting read

31 replies

Interesting read for those of us, who are impatiently waiting for the next generation BV's.

According to current informations/rumours these will be based on the E Series from LG.

It seems that it might be worth waiting for the 2017 models.

No worries if we can't make a BV that works.

Let's make a promise that LG can now manufacture a BV that works even if the models prior to the LG BV models dont!🙁

@StUrrock

Even if this is offtopic - my BV's work fine!

The problems are with the Android-based BV's.

We can't know, if the LG/BV's will 'work' --- we can only hope.

Maybe I should change my signature to:

The 55" E version is already selling here at a reduced price of $2799 in the US.  That price is before taxes.  I am hoping for a 65" W version that has Bang and Olufsen sound electronics and center speaker with a B&O design.  Also it should be Web OS and not a version of Android.  I am really looking for a wow factor design and few software problems.

From the articles and rumors on this site, two thoughts come to mind.

First, we are unlikely to see anything larger than 65" in the near term come from the LG agreement, so it seems the Avant stays in the range at least a few more years.

Second, since we have BV14, Horizon, and Avant NG running Android, and older sets running something else, how likely is it B&O supports yet another user interface with the LG sets? Is Android temporary or is it here to stay?

I've been on the verge of pulling the trigger on a 75" Avant, but I have to admit the teething problems gave me pause when they introduced the NG. The concern I have is if the android system is only a stepping stone and transitional, or if it will be continued to be supported longer than a year or two.

That 55" LG would be the 2016 model.

According to the linked article the 2017 models however, have improved.

So, let us hope, that the 2017 (E series) version will be used in the LG/BV's.

As usual you can always get a good deal on 'last years models' right before the new arrives - from almost any tv manufactorer...

....if that is what you are after.
