How about some 'crowd sourcing' - for a BeoLed tv 🤩

Hey Flappo -- 

 

just a heads up - that LG is not a 4k TV. 

 

Sounds awesome though regardless - I am thinking OLED is going to be the only way to go in not too long! 

Update on my order of a Beoremote One:

Dealer called me last week about my order for the new remote: Although he could order the new remote in the system it was not delivered last week...

He made a telephone call to now why. And the explanation was: currently has the factory no ability to deliver additional remote's, the production number of this new remote is just enough to meet the needs of the new avant. Delivery of additional remote's could take months or maybe earlier. They try to do their best. Pity!

My guess:

• Either selling of the avant is huge
• Or they make remotes somewhere in a garage

A pity indeed. Now that the production of Avant is on hold for the *second* time (mentioned in the Sky HD thread), one would think they'd take the time to make extra remotes in the meanwhile.

So I'm thinking garage 😛.

Oh well, back to reviving the old Beo5.

Thanks for the update, Chris!

Don't forget to build-in an Olive One sort of 12 month delay on delivery!

Why are we chasing higher resolution/more pixels/4K?

We should be chasing 'better picture quality'.

Hence why Paul was spot on about why something like the LG OLED being in the new Avant. LG TVs have been very impressive recently, and I see they are now making them with Harmon Kardon doing the speakers etc.

That's true MM.

It's not about the amount of pixels. You should only look at the quality of the image and not dig too deep into technical specs. Most of us would not be able to tell the difference between 4k and HD, at least not 3-4 meters away from a 55" screen.

I can compare this to my interest in photography. I have a digital Hasselblad camera with 39 megapixel and a Nikon with 36 megapixel. The hb takes so much nicer pictures and appears to be sharper even though they have equal amount of pixels. Instead there are other values to reconsider, such as dynamic range and appearence of colours.

Of course in this case it's about quality in the optics and size of the pixels (and milloins of other parameters...)

Just a thought...🙂

Just a few words about BeoRemote One. One big disadvantage is that I must look at it to use it. The BeoLink 1000 and Beo4 I can use in the dark TV room. I know exactly which button to use and where they are. On the new one it's just one big plastic surface and I can't feel which row my thumb is on.

The logic of the new remote is great, but I miss sitting laidback in the coach with "The Power" in my hand and using it without lifting my arm.

Good point. It's strange how I seem to hold the Beo 4 90% of the time when watching TV or movies! Perhaps we will get used to it and it will be the same? Practice makes perfect! I do like that the new remote is lighter, although some say they miss the weight so we can't all win!
