I’ve been keeping an eye out for B&O’s TV line up for the past 8 months, ever since I overheard a rumour that B&O will most likely stop making TV’s. It’s no secret that shares dropped almost a quarter by the end of last year and the company has been struggling keeping up with the pace the competition is refreshing lineups and adding smart features.

I’m not sure if there is any truth to this rumour but the fact that the lineup has remained unchanged and is limited to two models for this long is not very reassuring.

From what I hear is that the Eclipse will come in an updated version and also an "entry level" model that will replace Horizon as soon as the Horizon stock has been sold out.

I seriously hope that the Horizon replacement rumour is a fact... Not all people want a 55"+ model in their home.

I seriously hope the Horizon replacement is as good looking as the Horizon itself because the Eclipse is not for everyone.

As for sizes, I agree, a 46" or 48" oled would be welcome.

The info I heard was that it will not be oled.

So probably not as big as 48”

With the Roll up TV by LG it will be hard to top in both extravagance and features. They have gave up on TV's years ago as even though they look great they are priced ridiculously.

The only people who tend to do that are the Eclipse owners, partly as they are pleased with their purchase (they should be, it's excellent) and partly as they need to justify the expense and do that by going on the offensive.

This sentence:

Bang & Olufsen unveiled the BeoVision Eclipse in 2017 in a partnership with LG Electronics Inc. However, as Techradar.com points out, LG sells TVs with similar technology that can be combined with equivalent audio systems for a lower price.

Could anyone show me the same setup for a lower price? When I bought I looked a lot after alternatives, but could not find any?
