Just got my Avant! Awesome! Unfortunately the tablestand I ordered didn't come on time. My dealer lent me a floorstand witch I use, but its way too high for me. They say that I will have stand in the middle of july.

So glad my 11 year old Sony Bravia finally had it! My wife thinks I had something to do with the beakdown since it was just a week before the launch of the Avant, but I swear, it wasn't me...

Thanks Kallas,

nice to see a positive post on the Avant.

Have fun - enjoy.

I wish I could afford one.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

I'm positive about mine too - I might add 🙂

Thanks MM

44 minutes long !

[View:http://youtu.be/MW1389JVPjQ:800:0]

But it is worth spending the time on it, because lots of the themes discussed on the forum are adressed in these 44 minutes.

I did wait to see it, untill I had time to AirPlay it to my V1-baby - rather than watching it on the iPad. It has great picture quality.

And it is nice to see that B&O has got a place amongst the big manufacturers such as Sony, LG....

Thanks MM!

I watched all the videos, and they shed a lot of light on the complexity and "infancy" of 4K and how & when to get the most of it. It's gonna take some years for UHD to become mainstream. It's not even fully standardized yet.

I wonder if any TV sets currently on the market are truly future-proof for what is required of UHD at its more mature state in a couple (or more) years?

I found the 4th video "More Than Just Pixels: Extended dynamic range, higher frame rate, expanded color gamut–what they really mean to the viewing experience" particularly informative in regard to where the tech is now (in different areas of the "food chain", from content production to displaying it on 4K screens). It also nicely outlined the bottlenecks of reaching the full potential – or glory – of UHD video.

The presentation & slides for "Five lanes of Progress" was a good snapshot at where the industry is now: the resolution is there, but the other 4 ingredients of the "perfect" UHD picture are still very much in progress: frame rate, dynamic range, bit depth & colorimetry.

One point was made clear in the presentations & panels: good upscaling / upconversion is a crucial feature of UHD televisions. They should be able to show HD and Full HD content as good as (or better than) 1080p televisions, since that is what the majority of available content will be for the next few years.

The UHD panels are here (the pixels), but is the rest of the technology of today's TVs up to specs? I wouldn't say "yes" with much certainty after watching the videos – given that the specs themselves are not set yet.

Of course it does not hurt to have a TV with UHD resolution (the extra pixels have a purpose, and more so in the future) as long as the TV also performs equally well with HD (720p/1080p) content as the FHD sets do today.

OLED is the future LCD with LED backlighting is a mere stopgap until they get production costs down. Here's a a review of the new LG 4k oled , it's their new reference TV beating the pioneer kuro even.

If the avant had this technology , Id buy one tomorrow
