Watched the BV14 and Horizon today.

Also, the contrast glass on the BV14 really makes the image pop, compared to the Horizon.

Indeed... that's why I opted for the BV14 instead of the Horizon... The 48" would have been more suited for my appartement... but the image quality was too different...

BeoOneBT remote is a joy.
The B&O menu's are clear and snappy... The Android part... is somewhat messy.

Imagequality is stunning on HD.. Can't wait to access some UHD after the weekend..

Being one of the more technically challenged members of BeoWorld (I treat PUC as meaning "please use carefully" ) I am very wary about venturing into this thread regarding the lack of HDR on the BV14.. There is an article in this month's Which? about some of the problems with this feature.  It suggests that HDR is not at present quite a TV revolution.  Indeed, in some cases it states that HDR is doing the opposite of what is promised.  

Although I got the B&O virus back in the 1960s, I think that I shall continue wait until next year before changing my BV7-40 Mk 6

We had friends over at the weekend, as it was the first time they have seen my V1. They had recently brought a new low cost generic 4K TV with HDR (cannot remember the make) but they thought my V1 in HD must have been 4K ,as they said the mage was better than their new TV playing 4K content of a streaming site, the colours of the V1 were better and more realistic.

So I guess the moral of this story is not what you have, but the way you use it!

But you can look at 4K content from Youtube, right?

I could... but I'm 120Km away from my place :-)

Hi,

If you are considering either Beovision 14 or Horizon, but you are wondering how best to integrate your existing audio system, then this may be of interest. 

I have developed a cable that allows an older Beosound to connect directly to either of these new TVs using the L/R In socket on the TV - for a single room setup, this can often remove the need for the £600 NL/ML Converter:-

Any B&O audio system with Powerlink outputs can be connected (eg. Beosound 3200, Beomaster 7000, Beocenter 9500,etc) as the cable allows the audio system to share the TV speakers directly.  If required, one of the function buttons on the BeoRemote One can be assigned to select the L/R In socket, to allow music playback via the TV speakers with just one button press.

I have also built similar cables for linking an audio system directly to Beovision 11, Avant and V1 TVs, via the 9 pin AV socket:-
