I've said that right from the start, when the idea of the UHD BluRay was announced.

By the way - this article is already 4 weeks old.

Now all we need is a new HDR compatible B&O tv ;-)))

That's  why I asked about a Avant Mk 2 and I have had no Internet for two weeks lol.

Hi BV7,

Thank you for posting. A VERY interesting read! I wonder who will buy it though? Also very interesting about the 21:9 ratio TVs from Samsung & LG! And very interesting that 4K Blu-Ray has no intentions of supporting it. Could it be dead before it even launches?

Nice article!

The 21:9: yes.

The UHD Bluray: no.

Maybe the other way round MM - if both Samsung and LG are making 21:9 panels that's got to mean something big I guess. I'm not convinced that they'll be a real market for 4K Blu-Ray. Buying discs in 2016? Are there enough home cinema people out there to support it? We shall see...

PS I've just seen a video on the BANG&OLUFSEN Facebook page advertising its creative school and there's what looks like a white prototype B&O PLAY branded sound bar on it!

Hardly any 21:9 material outthere - looks kind of funny with 16:9 content.

But they do want to sell us new displays/tv's - that is how they make thier money.

If you want high/est quality picture and sound, you will need the UHD Blu-ray.

If not - be happy with less.

The format 21:9 seems like a fun idea until we get the epidemic burn in problems with it; that plus in 16:9 showing 21:9 the format uses the lower part of the screen for texting so that it doesn't have to clutter up the film with letters that hides the film you want to look at.
