Sorry to hear about all the issues people are having, it must be very frustrating. I am not sure what I would do if I had purchased. Very difficult decision. 

Well, I'm really glad it hasn't been installed, truth be told. The saving grace is, it could have been much worse (ie. it's not here yet!).

Sorry to hear that Moxxey. I think though that's the best option truth be told.

Me too. Get an 11-55 and we can all come to Bath when you have a TV moving in party🤩Beer🤩

I hope you have your passport, Chris?

B&O refused to allow me to have a discounted BV11-55 as a substitute for the (delayed, twice) Avant, so it might be a long wait for them to re-align the price (if they plan to do that at all!). I can't justify paying extra on top of the Avant upgrade pre-payment for a BV11-55. It's over £10K!

That Liverpool store have them for £8,000. Or maybe the brown V1Erm..

Solidsnake. A Couple of days with MONITOR setting and I agree the motion panning, juddering and halo effects are all reduced. Not completely gone but a vast improvement. That being said I'm afraid it is going back.

Yeah it seems to be the best option right now.  The most satisfactory setting adjustments I have found are picture mode - monitor, judder - off, room adaptation - off, noise reduction - 0, sharpness - 0, contrast enhance - 0 and sometimes increasing the backlight to 40.

Have you got any sort of acknowledgment from B&O or your dealer about the obvious picture issues?  I've contacted B&O a few times now and they just say that they'll pass it on to the relevant department and in the meantime, talk to my dealer.  I have talked to my dealer, he can see the motion issues as clear as day on all the Avants he has seen and has looked for a response from B&O and so far... Nothing. 

Personally I'd feel a lot better if they could at least acknowledge the issue and that they are working on it.  Otherwise, my Avant is going back too.  

I hate to be negative , but really this is just utterly disgraceful. A supposed high end Tv supposed to set the standards and named after a true legend and it's a buggy pile of crap.

And mine is going on hold before it gets delivered. Just heading to my dealer's to inform him in person.

Rather embarrassing for B&O to be running Avant adverts across the British press, yet putting production on hold - twice - and having to fix issues for previously delivered TVs.

At least I won't get sued now by bno , thx poxxey for that helpful hint. lol
