While the form factor of the LG's and the new B&O screens is interesting, I'm increasingly thinking what a shame it is that the video processing won't likely be as good as the Sony (is even the Panasonic) high end panels....The A1 reviews (and last years ZD9) remind me of how much top quality processing can make a difference......when I spent some time with the ZD9 last year, the upscaling was a good deal better than the LG E6......anyway, OLED screens will still be very welcome from B&O....

B&O could supply their own picture processing algorithms or even the source code to LG in order to have them implemented in the future TVs.

There is a good reason I am not a designerI lack the "out of the box" imagination gene [:\'(]So I look at the LG that I took pictures of and I can't imagine a designI am sure the creative geniuses of B&O can !My wife's complaint of the LG was (a) it can only go on the wall and (b) when switched off it's a Black Hole in the wall space ...I can imagine B&O covering that Black Hole with slatted wood that would match the BeoLab 18s ... a curtain effect ?Or maybe the screen moves ? If flexible could it roll up ? Imagine what B&O movement engineering might do !
Who knows, but not sure it matters in the end.......they'll struggle to match what Sony seem to be have done with their high end TVs, with the Extreme X1 processor chipset.....i suspect in the end it doesn't matter, i'm guessing many customers will be glad to have a B&O TV available with the latest specs (OLED +HDR)......i was only observing that, from my experience looking at the LG E6 and the SONY ZD9, the SONY did a much better job upscaling HD content ( didn't spend enough time to compare its motion capabilities)...and the A1 shares the same high end video processing..........
Good afternoon,
Was the release date of the new TVs disclosed at the dealer's conference last week ?

Last week a dealer told me there will be a B&O oled available early 2018. Most probably presented fall 2017. The programmers are extremely busy with the new shape sound system hence no resources for a new TV. Will be a very new design with a full glass front, speakers behind, large display, 65 at least. Pricing area 10,000$. The new one will come at the expense of the avant model. It will disappear. Beovision 14 will stay. Although he was quite firm in his description he said officially it is still speculation (like with the new iPhone).
I also heard that they will be large screens, with those wanting less than 65 having to choose one of the LCD models
A little sad to see that the original crt avant is class leading in its hey day but not the current one, going out in a bit of a whimper😉Last week a dealer told me there will be a B&O oled available early 2018.

55 inch is a very popular size. Definitely the most common size that I've seen in tv showrooms recently. I would be very surprised if the new TVs didn't start at 55.I also heard that they will be large screens, with those wanting less than 65 having to choose one of the LCD models

I was told that dealers get to see the OLED B&O TVs this May - did that not happen? If not, there's no way they can speculate on the design. Sorry, it's just speculation if they are claiming they know what it looks like!
