I dont know how it is going to be on the Harmony,

But in the Eclipse I never really face the WebOS,

When in speaker settings, it looks like B&O,

And I always use a Apple TV for streaming.

And most setting like picture, stand, and sound is done directly from the Beoremote.

 

But that is a big question for me, how well is the Beoremote integrated???

In the stand setup youtube video, you can see the intial setup of the LG TV, and that the BeoRemote needs a B&O App to work with LG. All setup and so on are done with the LG remote.

That I can see,

But that is for the first 10 minuts of ownership, I guess that is okay.

It is more after the 10 minuts?

I believe there some B&O firmware or a B&O specific chip in the LG panel (have heard that its actually in every LG panel going forward).

Quite how it works, and what it enables I don't know - the firmware / chip is supposed to reveal itself to B&O stuff.

Again, to what extent that means LG tv's can be dropped in to a B&O ecosystem, we will have to wait and see.

Sandyb is almost to well informed to be on this forum😐

We've been told that the new speaker systems (to be connected to the LG tv's) will only work with the C9 panel (and newer).

It all came to me in a David Lynch like dream.....

...a dream where Struer was the capitol of the Inland Empire, an odyssey with a meaning as diffcult to grasp as the Struer business case...

It looked pretty naff to me.

It is a bit garish lets say.

But I guess none of the OEM smart platforms are especially elegant, its just something we have to get used to or ignore. At least the Apple TV Ui isn't too in your face.

And be grateful its not Android TV, which in its newest update will include a row of advertising. Wonderful. Garbage is too kind a word.

Yea I just read that about the Android platform,

When I turn on my Eclipse it goes directly to Apple TV, use most screen time on that platform.

£5k bog standard generic LG 77inch Oled 

£15k B&O Stand and soundbar?

🤔

The price is 7500£ for the tv,

And the Harmony stand/soundbar/remote/Surround processor is 8500£

So 16000£ complete,

So a bit more than double,

Yes...thank you for the small correction. We should let that sink in.

Not even bothered to change the name on the box and in context of say the added value GBP8500 is a lot for some recycled steel and a re-arrangement of the Eclipse soundbar.

I get the Eclipse (just), I get the Avant 55/75 etc.. cool designs with a form/fuction balance. The Harmony to me is OTT in not really a good-looking way.

For me, its not really about the LG screen or B&O bolting LG on to their soundbar. To me, it is like a lack of ideals and a dare I say it a lack of engineering design. We dont need rotating soundbars. Drop-down and slide-to side speaker mechs looks better.

This design is totally unresolved and like all B&O products, it is only a matter of time before these mechanisms start to a) rattle around a bit or b) start to get gapping and alignment issues.

I think they could have done an awful lot better on this - in every technical and artistic department.

Footnote: LG77 OLED C9. Would it be interesting to know if they plan to release the harmony as a 55/65in screen and whether it will be back compatable with the Eclipse soundbar at some point in the future ("future" proof?)?
