Will it really be called the Beovison 13? That suggests to me that this would be viewed as the "top of the range" TV. I heard a rumour it's more likely to be a Beovision 3 than 13. Who knows. I think the "13" moniker is just that.

Does anyone have any more info about this TV? It appears it's ducked under the radar a bit, lately.

Correct, I am implying that B&O will adopt OLED which is very thin and that they will keep it that way. The new 65 plasma is itself very thin I am told and the only bulbous thing about it is the speaker underneath. Ie very thin panel, protruding speaker at its bottom.

We had a BeoVision 3 in the past, remember? My rumour says something different from the usual numbers.

Correct, but then B&O have resurrected old labels and assigned them to newer products. No reason why a BV3 can't be used again. Who knows, I'm just speculating. I just was surprised a bottom-of-the-range TV would have a version label above the 10 and 12. Maybe it will. We'll see I guess.

I don't think it will be viewed as 'top of the range' because of the number. There is not much logic in the way B&O name (or numbers) their products. Think of the speakers: Beolab 5 is the top model, and then comes BL 9. The earlier top speaker was BL 1...😕

12-65 isn't a protruding speaker, or a very thin tv although it's as thin as any tv of this type should be IMHO, Moxxey is right, a tv that is very very thin doesn't really suit the B&O range of super picture & super sound. I for one would not be interested in a wafer thin tv - that's just basically a panel with a plug on the end. Where's the processor, psu, sound card, any quality components? If you want a tv to be so thin you can't see it, you could always recess it into the wall somehow. I like the fact there is some depth to my BV10, especially since it was a conscious decision to make it that way. Makes it more of a three dimensional feature.

didn't someone somewhere say that it has the standard separate BeoSystem 3 ?

By tomorrow evening, we'll have idea of the new products:

Is anyone here going to this product launch tomorrow? Mind you, if it's invitation only, I wonder if they'll have to sign NDAs.

I'll try to post this again as it appears the server ate it up the first time around.

It sort of defeats the objective if you invite the world's media to tell them something and then tell them they are not supposed to tell anyone else. 

They may impose an embargo on the press release until all the events are over, but I doubt it.
