New products launch.

40 replies

I'm starting to get excited about some of the products planed for 2012. There's not been a great deal of B&O innovation through 2011. Few new products. 2012 looks like it's going to change this.

That iPad speaker my dealer was talking about the other day. Not sure what it is. He called it a "controller". Could be interesting.

Maybe the music selector mentioned by Roger?

BeoLit 12, BeoLab 12 and BeoVision 12

hmmm is there a theme here ?

I hope we do not have to wait until 1Q2013 before we see the Beosystem 13, Seosound 13, etc.

This TV is 4mm thick!

Who cares though. The sound will be terrible

All of the current tv range will be close relatives to "who cares, the sound will be terrible" products out there. I was merely highlighting the release of technology, that you will soon see morphed into a B&O product in the near future.

DonĀ“t expect OLED to be near future in a BeoVision. I do care about OLED but size isnĀ“t all. I donĀ“t agree about sound quality  in the current range. ItĀ“s probably better compared to any other flat tv on the market.

Any news about the "music selector" mentioned by Roger?

Hardly! Although a couple of people on here said that the BV10 lacked depth compared to their (really deep!) Avant, I'm pleasantly surprised with the audio quality of my BV10-46. Ok, it's no 7.2, but it has depth that is lacking on, say, a brand new Samsung.

The BV10 is a very good compromise for me and is no way near "terrible". Looking at the BV12 design with the centre speaker below and BL12s, I bet that's reasonably close (with the BL12s) to the BL7.2 performance.

B&O can't afford to put out a TV without semi-reasonable audio as their reputation is based around excellent audio. It's what customers expect.

So, where's this current TV range which will have sound "close to....terrible"?

Odd statement!

Moxxey i wasn't remarking on the sound quality of B&O tv's, which are the best on the planet. I was pointing out that my previous post was only highlighting some of this years CES panel technology devlopements. ie What we see being promoted by Samsung etc today we can see re-engineered and retailed by B&O shortly.

Sure, but you were implying that that's also the way B&O will go. I doubt it as they have to balance audio with video and the BV10 is about as thin as you can get without compromising audio too greatly or requiring additional speakers, such as the BL12s.

Mind you, I'm not overly concerned about super-thin TVs. The BV10 is neither super-thin nor light (I can't lift my 46"), but the design really does look like it's a picture using the easel stand. Looks like an object of art.

Anyway, this week is going to be an interesting week as we're going to see - finally - a range of new products from B&O. Likely to be some 'Play' products, the BV12, BL12 and maybe this iPad controller?
