I don't see why you always argue so strongly against a new BeoSystem. We all have different needs. I respect that for you an all-in-one tv suits your needs. However, it's nice to have options in the B&O product portfolio.

...I find a prince point of $5,000 to $7,000 to be quite reasonable for a BeoSystem. Again, it's just nice to have these options in the product portfolio.

Sorry - I though, that I wrote:

'A BSys5/AudioSystem however, would not be bad'.

Why do you put other words in my mouth?

Why should I argue against a cinema solution?

I am sure, that B&O would have 'that option in the product portfolio', if they were convinced, that there would be enough (!) costumers for it.

As I wrote - a majority of those who want a BSys5/cinema solution, would certainly expect support for Dolby Atmos and the other immersive sound solutions.

As for the 'all-in-one-tv-solution.

It seems that B&O is following that route - independent of what 'suits my needs' ---- or yours for that matter.

We'll see - maybe a BSys5 will come - as for a possible prize, I don't even dare guess.

'FlatpanelsHD has received tips from several sources but we have not been able to independently confirm details. We are told that LG has been developing the video processor and the operating system (webOS) for the new TV from B&O. A soundbar under the TV, developed by Bang & Olufsen, will communicate with the TV via HDMI CEC.'

Not so much new info but would be interesting if the speaker bar was optional, I still think its going to be way too expensive. I heard from the Norwegian dealer that it will be just over the price of an Avant which is in line with what other people have said here. Still very exciting, although out of my price range I am interested in seeing what they do.

Sounds like B&O is leaving the TV product development area finally. Game changer for all future TV products, feels a lot like B&O car products. No real B&O feeling, more rebranding of Karmann Hardon product. For TV's rebranding a LG product

In all honesty, it sounds like what a lot of people thought B&O was doing anyhow - basically creating a TV frame around an existing product!

So, LG produces the internals, video processor and so on, B&O supplies the outer case design and "sound bar", then doubles the price.

Also, there are no "B&O menus". It will be LG WebOS all the way.

 

That's a pitty since that would have added to the premium feeling.

I am not sure I understand how this would work.  Would one still be able to use a Beoremote 1?  Is it NL compatible?  Will I be able to use a NL/ML converter.  I guess we will have to wait to see how the TV will work.  Is this the product that Lee said would be controversial?

For me if the B&O/LG tv is just a TV with Bang and Olufsen speakers, then it is a nonstarter.
