Any chance of a newly produced turntable ? Not refurbished or limited edition, etc.

I think it’d be more realistic for them to recreate other old models following the 4000c than make new models. My hope is that they would make a new one one day, but I can’t see that happen even at their 100-year anniversary either.

Prices increase and new colors, what else ?.. 😁

If that's going to be the case many Eclipse owners will be slapped in the face again. As with the v1 they have been told the screen would be upgradeable. Then v2 came out as LG changed the panels, and now with v2 it could happen again. So this supposed 'partnership' is just B&O buying LG screens...

Who said there's a partnership? I think that's just something speculated here and sales people at your dealership like to tell you to get people to buy an Eclipse. LG doesn't design panels for B&O. It might help them link up their products through software, but not much more beyond this.

Thinking you can drop in a new LG panel in 5 years is bizarre. Would you truly believe the LG 2021 panel (G1) will be exactly the same shape and design as a 2026 panel? Incredible.

No speculation, quite clearly stated by B&O: link  

I'm not believing the G1 panel will have the same shape and design as in 2026 but as many people said in the forums, the Mk2 eclipse is sold as upgradeable in the future. On the other hand, B&O rather wants you to buy a total new system instead of just having to swap out and change to a new LG panel. Thats no business for them. 

Just trying to follow up on the question of screen upgradability as I suggested B&O can make different brackets to fit new LG type of panels. I just go the delivery invoice for my upcoming Eclipse and this mention the following part:

"BV Eclipse GX Screen mount interface".  

This suggest such an bracket/interface does exist and if it is what I think it is it should confirm that Harmony and Eclipse should be able to accept new type of LG Panels in the future. Anyone have more info on this?

Are we sure that the ‘Wireless Dongle’ is made for Bluetooth protocol?

It is called Beoplay Link C,

It is a USB Audio Dongle.

My boring guess is that is have something to do with the Beoplay Portal for PC and Playstation.

Beovision Harmony 77" 2nd Gen, Beolab 5, Beolab 17, Beosound 1, Beoplay M3, Beoplay Portal, Beoplay Earset, Beoliving Intelligence

Yes Emil spot on

Just bought the PS5 3D wireless headset and it comes with the dongle

It does not work with mobile phone wirelessly

Thanks
