In answer to the no app thing? It will some time in

2021time frame to add them.

All new 2020 lg tv's will have no apps installed.

To be fair, as much as I tried to persuade the family of the Beoremotes merits of one piece aluminium design etc they put it in the drawer and talk to the Sky Q remote.

It works very well.

The BV11 and BR1 have been retired in favour of the LG and stage with SkyQ remote.

Paul, this makes no sense? I think you're saying that the BeoRemote doesn't work with the Q? 

Another update from me. Sky Q installed Thursday. Watched football in 4K for the first time ever last night. Seriously? OMG. It's so good on the GX it looks like you're there - never seen anything like it.

My GX 65" arrives this week. Can't wait. I loved the BV12-65 picture quality, but it's no way near the level of a GX and 4K. I don't get astonished often, but this is something else.

And, yes, slightly annoying nothing controls the Q box. Even the LG 'magic remote' (which claims it does).

I will do more testing of it over the weekend as I have only recently had Q installed too.

Thanks. The BeoRemote can't control the GX yet, but this should be fixed sometime in July. Would be ace if it can control the Q box, too (not holding out too much hope though).

Is there preliminary software that can be obtained from the dealer ? That was the case for the C9 last year before the official release by LG.

I think that is poor on LG side, I am glad I got C9 app works perfect, beoremote perfect, and all the tv apps👌 This should have all been put in place before launch. I have never had any issues with stage, C9 65 and Beoremote, and Apple TV 4K works well on CEC too👌
I don’t see much difference in c10 too be fair or less your a gamer, I use it for movies only in bedroom, and streaming apps, so having them all working and present is a must.

Took 'em a while, but finally LG is selling their GX-matching soundbar.  You might argue about its "design language" (kangaroo pouch) versus the Stage, but I like it: identical width, matching edge profile & vertical close-mount giving an integrated look.  65" only, wallmount only (but that's the point of a GX).  Comes with a separate "wireless" "sub"woofer -- required, obviously, with that slim a box.  Haven't heard it myself since it's brand-new, but presumably it has a less-spacious sound than the Stage because it's a basic L/C/R speaker and the crossover to the woofer is going to be pretty high.  But to make up for that, it supports a true rear speaker pair; not clear if the wireless is built-in like the woofer or requiring their transmitter box.  From: https://www.lg.com/us/home-audio/lg-gx-sound-bar :

This should go well. 

1. It is Meridian tech branding. 

2. It is 1/2 the price 

3. It has a separate sub (yuck) and WISA/Bluetooth for rear speakers?

3. It doesn't work with the BeoRemote. 

Weird that LG markets 2 "luxury" brands for their TV audio, plus their own. A bit like Andrew Undershaft.

Wonder if B&O has flexed its muscle over this?
