LG was like, thanks B&O for the partnership lets see what we could do ourselves design-wise to what you do :) 

I like LG's thought here, many people don't like the black thing in their living room when switched off. 

On that easel stand, it reminds me a lot of BV14.

Truthfully, LG is huge, I'm not convinced there's much of a 'partnership' between the two brands. Or not from an LG perpsective.

I do quite like this, but doesn't bowl me over. I think the fabric part looks a little too big and the movement would start annoying me after a while. Occassionally I accidentally turn off my G1 using my BeoRemote One and turn it on again - almost instant. With this, you'd have to wait for the process to hide and reappear again. I think people who love this kind of stuff have far more patience than me! 😁

i like it, more elegant than a harmony which turns a TV into a monster

I absolutely agree, but I don't think I'm upset enough about a blank black screen to need one. As with the Harmony, I suspect it's more about impressing friends and neighbours than of any real benefit.

I assume there is a "park" mode, whereby you can power the TV on/off with the cover left in the extended position - this is where it will spend 99% of its life once the novelty has worn off.

As the owner of a Harmony 77 I can say that the nicest thing about it is that when it's turned off, the screen looks a lot more discrete.  When the TV is switched on it's huge - and really dominates the room.  Turned off, with the wooden covers over most of the screen, it looks a lot less garish.

I do like this LG - it's very smart. I do wonder if they'll start with wooden fronts, then they'll probably start stealing the potential Harmony buyers from B&O with the price difference.  That's not a good thing...

I also enjoy the function of the Harmony everyday.

It also seems much smaller as it goes down to the ground.

A 55" was max before in my room, now I have a 77" very nice indeed. (Off cause I could have a bigger than 55" but it looked horrible)

When off the 77'' Harmony is nearly 10cm lower than a 55'' bv11 or eclipse and that's very noticeable in my room and that's partially why I love it so much. It's huge when it's on..... Ladies 😕😎
