Special Invitation

I received an invite yesterday via email for the 8th of May for the showing at Harrods it also shows part of the tv on mine aswell.

it doesn't look bezeless to me, it looks as though it has a thin metal trim which goes around the bezel and from what i can tell the screen itself still looks like a bv7.

still thinking if i should go or not i don't really mind waiting to see pictures as info trickles onto here.

 

Flappo how are you finding your bv11???

I'm very impressed with it. The picture is excellent as long as you face it full on , side angles it's a bit washed out but that's the edge lighting , not much you can do about it.

Soundwise I've tweaked it and it's really rather good now. Not as much bass as the avant but for a flat screen tv very impressive.

It also looks IMO stunning. Lovely design. Real bno .

Also impressed with all the gizmos built in , really excellent overall and a worthy upgrade. This new tv will have to be something mind blowing to surpass this.

It is a fantastic TV, but I fear these newer generation of UHD TVs will pictorially easily surpass all before it, even my new 7-55! Even

My only personal saving grace will be the Beolab 7-6 and the convenient Bluray player.

Will these new UHD TVs make a Bluray or say Sky TV picture look better? Apart from its obvious newness.

I don't think it's that cheap Flappo :) I think more like £6K in the UK.

However, that's still a 'bargain' for a 55" B&O TV. And, yes, my dealer also said the picture is absolutely stunning, too. He said the audio was on a level of the BV11, so isn't going to be anywhere near BV7/BL7.6 level. But you can add a sub, I guess.

Seems like good advice. Let's wait for the mk2 version and say it was or plan all along😳

Does this new TV only come in one size 55" ? - my dealer indicated it comes in a number of sizes up to 75"

55" to start with, 85" soon after I think and a 65" later? If I remember what my dealer told me! Nothing smaller than 55" though.

Thinking about this some more, I paid £5K for the BL18+Transmitter 1+Playmaker combination only a few weeks ago. If B&O can bring out a 4K 55" for relatively the same price - with wireless transmitter and other components - I'm not entirely sure how they've done it based on the existing price model. Maybe they've taken a huge risk, reduced their profit margin and hope/prey that it sells in larger numbers!

So can anyone post some titbits from these invites then?

I posted some text from it above and the photo is the same as previously posted:
