Samsung LED TV with Tablet remote. Is this what we wanted from B&O instead of the Beo5?

I posted this last week but it was just approved today because of the photo.  Whats everyone think?

Looks promising...

If B&O watches this forum, they now know what to do....It will be available in 2016, but not wireless... :-)

And the "tablet" can display streaming tv and Blu ray content, wirelessly - I remember folk posting here that the BS5 was tethered because it wasn't feasible to transfer the album cover info wirelessly!

I'm sure there'll be a queue of people along shortly to tell us "yes, but look at the horrible plastic case".

earlier today I came across this 

Damn sexy if you ask me ...

BUT!

I still wait for that freaking Apple tablet and a proper Apple TV and we got the same.... made from aluminium :-p

Best regards

Not bad at all. Only disadvantage of a tablet like this is that you need both hands to operate it.

It looks pretty good - or, at least, doesn't jump into your face - but I'm sure it feels awful 😎

I played with it thursday : needs a speed boost, lacks of a cool interface, but very desirable. That's a prototype of everything we're asking, and it proves that it's totally possible with todays technology (it's based on DNLA). We already have this kind of functionality for music with a network of Airport Express and an iPod Touch/iPhone for the remote, but not for videos...

Note that the system is in a black box (a multimedia server), not in the LED TV.

This one in a kind of Beolink 7000 housing with automatic "stand up" function, so you are able to control it with one hand and watch TV/Video in the kitchen. With programmable remote functionality for all video- and audio sources incl. BS5 navigation and with typical Beo user interface......great!

I would buy it.
