Its good to hear your thoughts on the GX , I've just got my CX (replacing a BV7-40 Mk3) and now its sitting proud on the BV7 floor stand thanks to STBrackets.

 

• Yes - the speaker in the TV is quite good for its size - I do find changing the sound setting (from AI Pro or Cinema to Voices ) is needed soemtmes to make voice more distinct - otherwise they get a bit lost.
• The picture quality is amazing - but i guess i was coming from a low bar with the BV7 :-). SD isn't too bad - but i'll always veer towards HD or better if possible 
• The apps on Web OS are pretty comprehensive here in Aus - but I cant find one for Channel 10's "10 Play" so i may end up keeping an Apple TV attached for that (just in case). 

 

Still trying to decide about a Stage or standalone eclipse Sound Center - I guess i'll be waiting till the Stage works with the GX/CX before being able to try it out in home. 

In the meantime, you can reuse the Beolab 7-2 speaker of the BV 7. Do a search in the forum for the various ways of connecting it. The best is to use an external DAC connected to the optical output of the TV.

Moxxey,

Thanks for this thread! Much appreciated. Just ordered a GX65 and stage for our small tv room. TV going on the wall and stage sitting on a cabinet.

Did you sort the issue of the stage turning on automatically with the TV or is that subject to an update in the future?

Ammier

It's random! Mostly it works, but it's only off the Apple TV. It's almost as if the Apple TV doesn't sync properly with the TV.

My latest issue is that the external LG Blu-ray player keeps dominating connections, so the GX keeps switching to the Blu-ray player and starts playing a movie. I can even manually turn off the player and the TV starts it up again. Perplexing.

These problems were what I was dealing with before turning to a Beovision with PUC.

CEC have never worked well for me, sadly.

True, but I find that the PUC doesn't always work smoothly either, especially with Sky. The number of times it's completely stopped working and I've had to spend a good few minutes playing with the cable to get it working again! Swings and roundabouts and I'm not forking out £8000+ for a 2017 Eclipse :)

I'd rather have a single unit like the Eclipse, but B&O just make it so hard. Perplexing why they don't update the panels as frequently as they did with, say the BV7.

I can buy a GX 55", GX 65", 2 x Stage and 2 x BeoRemote's for 1 Eclipse. And have change left.

same here CEC has its glitches, with Beoremote One and a Sony BluRay the skip buttons do not skip, they fast forward/backward. Useless, most need function for me für Music. Is there an other key which does it?

Update.

Sky Q finally installed today after 5 weeks waiting (every time the engineer was due it was raining and they won't go on the roof when it rains).

Picture quality on the GX is astonishing. Even regular HD looks like 4K due to the fantastic upscaling. Obviously 4K is another league. First time watching Sky Sports in 4K and it's stunning - looks like you're watching in the stadium

But, along with the positive, there's a negative. You can't control the Sky Q box from the LG remote. Or can you? Anyone managed this?
