You can buy a 65” LG oled from 2018 for 2300€

Or go for a 75” even.

And invest in a proper surround system instead.

You can mount the LG in an old B&O stand.

Calm down - and keep your Avant 55.

Do you mean that there is news coming? I changed my phone to the XS Max recently and I want to jump on the OLED train sometime. I do like the Avant a lot but the benefits of OLED is also nice and I don’t like hanging on to the same device for too long. I like change :)

I do not know anything about ‘news’!

If the OLED technology in a pure LG tv is more important to you than the benefits - that you yourself descrided - of an Avant 55, you will need no further advice.

Just do it!

I have had the original Avant 55, loved the design but had issues with dirt behind the screen. I also wasn’t happy with the edge lit display. I moved to the Avant NG and it was a more capable 4K TV air was crippled by buggy software. So I recently moved to the Eclipse and I have found it so much better than the Avant. It is far more responsive, sound much better and the display is far better.  Obviously there is the issue of is it worth it. But just basing it on the tv, the Eclipse is far better and I’m far happier with it.

Just get the stock LG ;-))

To me it seemed that you don’t think, that the integration with the B&O parts and the Sound Center as a unit is worth the money, when considering the Eclipse.

Also the fact, that they did not put a 2018 screen into it, was a concern of yours.

Therefore that could not be my advice!

Waiting for something ‘new’ iseems also not to be an option....or ———- whatever ‘new’ would mean.

(That however, is my personal option - untill then I’ll enjoy my Avant 55 and the setup that I have around it).

Looking forward to read about how you decide to get on.

I prefer the Sony myself and the latest reference one has the ability to use the "acoustic surface" as a centre channel in a multi channel setup.  Ingenious. 

I wonder if you can plug in the stock LG if it gives you the B&O bits , or do they install certain B&O software in the LG.  You can see certain android packages installed on the BV14 for example.
