Roll-up oled screen LG great design opportunity B&O

17 replies

Just read the news about LG Displaying an 65-inch OLED TV that can roll up like a poster in a sound bar. This could be a great design opportunity for B&O.

What do you think?

I’d rather want to have an Avant with this kind of MicroLED display:

My neighbour just told me on newyears eve she was waiting for a roll up tv like that, she’s still rocking an avant 32 and she wants to change but only to that so it can be out of the way when she isn’t watching anything 😎

I think a lot of people who hate televisions, and owned BeoVisions just for the looks (a big chunk of BV sales in the 1990s/early 2000s I guess) agree with your neighbour!

Big opportunity for B&O!

Right now, the single most artistic and creative TV I've seen, which I never would have expected from who makes it, is the Samsung Art. Something that in better days I would have expected out of B&O not Samsung, but it's an amazingly artistic and well thought out product.

Why would B&O make this when LG already have? And the W7 wallpaper TV? This is the whole theme of many of my recent posts in various threads; B&O are being out done by their competitors who are doing a much better job at design, functionality and price! Where does B&O fit in these days in the tv market? Simon. 

Nice video; I like the partial roll-out option for Music streaming or apps.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Interesting video. Particularly the comment about other manufacturers looking at the screen and thus price can not be disclosed.

Reading about it elsewhere online, it is not an LG tv per se. It is a display from LG Display designed for sale to other tv manufacturers.

I agree, but with a couple of qualifications. The concept of showing a white frame mount picture on the screen when not viewing TV/DVD etc can surely be applied to the likes of the BV11 with the right software updates. Samsung also do the B&O trick regarding connections. They claim/ show an invisible connection (single optical connection) but then in the small print say their invisible connection excludes the TV power cable and and any ancillary device cables. So just how do you mount this TV screen flat on the wall without having a large strategically placed junction box/power socket void behind the screen?
