Ought to save a bunch not adhering to the previous MO of recasing panels!

I've just seen it in the flesh.

Remarkable was the fact that it doesn't look that big. Even for a 55" version.

The sound was impressive from the  8 speakers. There isn't any other (brand) flatpanel out there which sounds like this one.

So, the comment from one  person "Oh, my Samsung is only 2-3 cm's thick", got me bored.

I think the Avant got his magic from all the moving parts. Very nice and smooth.

That's probably also a bit negative thing: the cables from sources connected to the internally placed system 4 has to be long enough for all the movement.

The included app's like Spotify, Deezer etcetera give me a growing feeling of appreciation.

It's the (my) first time that a beovision from B&O with LCD has a picture which could replace my plasma (BV9 mk3 FullHd).

Beside the 4K demo I've seen some daily broadcasting on the cable, just normal HD content. The 4K panel/System4 is quit capable to scale the HD content to it's native 4K resolution without artefacts. These demo's are impressive but not the most interesting. For me it counts how the system copes with colours from human faces. Faces on a BV10 e.g. looks like they sometimes are already dead.

On this panel they have pretty normal colours.  

The new remote looks like a flat alu Beo4 mixed with the screen from a Beocom 5. Handles fine. It's a bit smaller than the Beo4 (it felt like that)

Just was at the presentation - hilarious product - best of B&O since many years - like the design and the features - will order tomorrow :-))

I also just came back from the demonstration. I'm mighty impressed. Not so much by the design (could do without the bright speaker grille...) but by the sound, the picture, and the good old fashioned magic. It's fun to watch the crowd drop their jaws once the floor stand gets past a certain angle 🙂 I would regret it forever if I ever bought that with the manual stand! Also, don't worry about any uglyness revealing itself when rotated, even the rearside of the TV is clean.

Featurewise, it seems to have everything and more. You can connect six external sources with PUC control (new tables downloadable from the interweb). It is obviously prepared for WISA speakers, and you can connect 20 or so separate speakers to the TV

Price of the base TV (55") in Finland is 6995,- and I seem to recall all three motorized stand options are slightly over 1000 euros. I predict trouble keeping up with demand...

Do you know if the sensor on the upper right is "just" a sensor for VisionClear and the green light or can it show the volume, the source,..., like the BeoVision 7 ?

I'm not a fan of the design but I've spent the last 10 years covering a BV 7 so it's not surprising.

I've just watched Gravity as a demo and can confidently say I think the 7-55 is better. Sound was better than I expected, but my overall impression of the picture, was cheap and juddery. I guess at being 100 hz you might expect that.

Might just be being an old miserable git.

The remote on the other hand looks fantastic.

Didn't see anything except the green light on it, so I don't think so. VisionClear apparently has been extended to control the colour temp as well.
