With these specs, 10K EUR for a 55incher is a justified price. Solid investment into next 10 years of happy watching. :)

That is true. But I am actually not sure if I have to pay this new BV in EUR or in 'Deutsche Mark'.

I'd prefer, if it was in DK-kroner.

And I would take it with an inbuilt (UHD-)BRP, but only if it must be.....

It just doesn't make sense B&O putting a 4K blu-ray player in a TV - not in todays market/generation.

I agree with you on this!

It would only add unneccessary to the costs of the tv (and to the list price) - and not everyone would want it.

Besides, I am pretty sure, that B&O would never do that again - too complicated.

P.S. It is not a 4K player. It is a UHD player, which - in addition to more pixels - includes HDR, WCG and HFR...

Thank you for showing us your level. I appreciate it ;) and still I keep laughing :)

Two words for this technology announcement. LASER DISC. 

Only a small number of people will care for this ultimate level of quality. They also buy hi-fi separates. 

Hopefully B&O will not make the mistake again of putting a drive in the TV.  The Blu-Ray in the BV7- which I had - was a huge mistake. I'm sure B&O have learnt a lot about a product with essentially multiple operating systems or loosely integrated code in one unit and know its just a bag of hurt.

Hold on in there people. 

If you want this high quality, get a next gen Oppo. If you want 80% of it (from films etc) and the best 1080P, which most day-to-day TV will be at for years to come get an Avant today and sit tight till the end of the year.

Not sure if you've seen this. But as I said the 4K onslaught starts in August. Get your Avant orders in now ;-)

From engadet:

While BT will link for access to Champions League football next season, the company may soon ask for more money from existing customers too. It's for a good reason, though: the company has said it will launch the first 4K channel in Europe in August, called BT Sport Ultra HD, delivering selected matches from the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and Aviva Premiership Rugby. As you'd expect, these broadcasts won't work on BT's existing hardware, so it'll introduce a new BT TV Ultra HD set-top box to do the heavy lifting.

Details are scarce but we do know that it'll be BT's "best ever" Youview+ box and is capable of storing up to 600 SD hours or up to 250 HD hours on its 1TB hard drive. In February, reports suggested that the broadcaster had  in order to steal a march on Sky. It's believed that it could also share streams to smartphones and tablets,
