The Beovision Harmony is added to the B&O AR app. It's available in two version: Floor and wall mount. 

The wall mount is motorized in the same way as the floor stand, i.e. it moves up and the speakers fold out. 

This is beautiful. 

A lot have been complaining that B&O have lost the magical movement. I honestly think David Lewis would be proud of this. He spoke in an interview of what could feasibly be done once panels got very thin and I think we have the answer here. He would have grappled with this problem  The movement is sci-fi and alien and unearthly - I’ve shown this video to non-B&O friends and they think it looks stunning and mesmerising. 

Some have that it doesn’t cover the whole screen. I don’t think that needs pointing out at all and this was clearly a deliberate industrial design choice. They didn’t want it to cover the whole screen. It’s almost an illusory effect. ‘It looks like a TV possibly but doesn’t really....gosh what on earth is it???’ Very clever strategy. 

Some have complained that the movement is too slow. You don’t buy a Rolls Royce for its breakneck acceleration. The doors close at a slow speed and even slower in the final 1-2cm. The Rolls Royce takes its time and won’t be rushed. It’s designed to lower you blood pressure and bring Zen to the manic hectic stupidity of modern life that is physiologically unbearable. When I come home, I want B&O movement and Scandinavian design to draw me in and slow my brain, heart and put the brakes on any active ADHD. The slower the movement and the slower the curtains the better. It slows your cognition into a lower gear. Japanese tea ceremony of TVs!

The choice of materials and the effect is exquisite - if I had this sort of money and a room big enough, I would pull the trigger!

Somebody has said that a smaller version is also in the pipeline so that is the one I will go for. 77” is too big for us. 

The sound bar will be phenomenal if Geoff Martin is behind the acoustic engineering. 

Now I hold my breath with a reservation. Will the software sorted and bugs ironed out before it hits the market??

Bloody well done B&O. 

Congratulations. 

The black frets looks amazing. 10/10 for me over the wood.

But still I think you will call your dealer after a week to enter service menu to disconnect the damn slow movement !

Seethroughyou seems to really like it!😂

(edit : not quite as funny now that the other 3 duplicate posts have been deleted)😂

It will be interesting to see how rigid it is - i.e., if dog/child/football hits the speakers in the docked position can they thud into the screen?

didn't come across that way to me.

Funny that.

I like the new TV and the folding mechanism even if it honestly lacks sense behind the cool mechanics. 🙂

I don't like the ugly wool cover (I don't like it on neither B&O speaker like M3, A6, M5...) this wool stuff looks more like IKEA than B&O. Let's hope they're working on a real aluminium cover, too. That would look much more like a real B&O thing.

Reminds me of an old Sony TV TAV-L1 which could hide the complete screen behind its moving speaker. It included a CD-Player etc, sound system, hidden touch controls in nice B&O red/orange style and had a display inside the speaker grill for usage as a pure music system:
