Cost is the reason there now two options of Avant as the back is costly to make.Also price could put buyers off so cheaper Avant or more expensive!...You choose?
I was told by a B&O dealer that the incoming Avant MKII will be a software upgrade only and that there will be no changes to the physical design or performance. No OLED (LG screen) until 2017.
Does anyone have anything more concrete?
So mk1 can be upgraded by software But my dealer reckon it's a new chassis if it is android?
Will B&O really use android in the avant? I thought they entered into a partnership with lg and they use webos, don't they? Can B&O really handle managing two different os in their tvs?
I don't know if the mk1 can be upgraded by software. But yes the mk2 will supposedly have more in common with android and is just a operating system change rather than any performance or design improvements.
Unless anyone knows any more?
The Mk 2 Avant should have HDR and all the other bits that was missing off the Mk 1. Like Hevc de decoding and maybe vp9 as well. Also android could appear?
Have the dealers seen it already?

My Avant got many updates last year and this year? None as of yet. I would assume they are working on a bigger software patch for it.
I'd be interested to see if they would add a "night shift" mode as in f.lux for mac or in the new iOS. After getting used to that I keep changing my TV to film mode in the late evenings to get it into a prepare for sleep mode. I know it changes with colour temperature of the room but it is still quite blue compared to the night shift mode (or f.lux).
