Discrimination of the bv11-46 inch owners
I would wait and see, if there - maybe - would be a BV11-46 version of that, too (for the compatible BV11's).
And I would ask my dealer to make a request, and post it on the Facebook page myself.
If more people want it, it might be possible?

This, again, is a stupid move by B&O: so people like me, who got BV11 (Mk I) – albeit in 40"/55" – are left out?BV11 46" inch owners are left out in any case. I don't mind, though. I do not share B&O's design obsession for wood.Moxxey, the BV14 wooden frets, do indeed, use the magnets, they are compatible with the newer BV11 chassis (which uses magnets, not clips).
The reason why I doubt this is that there will not be a BV14 46" version. It is about panels: I've seen 40" 4k panels from Samsung: I suppose they still use Samsung panels in the BV14? Also, 4k 55" panels from Samsung.I do not know of 4k 46" panels from any manufacturer. 48", yes (what's in the Horizon). For the "wood-inclined" people, I'd like to see a speaker grille for BV11-46 owners. Alas, I do not see that the B&O of today thinks of their old(er) clients the same way they used to.With B&O in the 2010s, lots of things get obsolete, fast. With B&O in the 1990s, that was not the case.Loudspeakers aside, I do not trust them with my money (in other words, the value / longetivity of their products) anymore.I would wait and see, if there - maybe - would be a BV11-46 version of that, too (for the compatible BV11's).

Crazy world!
The oak wood front for the BV14 cost almost the same as the new Samsung Serif TV I bought last week.

Argh! My BV11-40 uses the clips. I thought the magnets were for the original BV11 revision as it was inherited from the BV10?
Really confused by this move from B&O. I thought the magnet fret design on the BV10 was dropped on the BV11 as you could see the magnets under the grille on light-coloured cloth (the white fret was awful for this issue). That means my BV11-40 is a MK-I if they switched to a magnet design for later revisions.
I'll have to super-glue the wooden fret on to my clip-on BV11-40!
Does anyone know why B&O went magnet -> clip-on -> magnet?

My BV11-40 uses clips. I read somewhere that the BV10 magnets caused long term fret discolouration by attracting micro metallic particles. Are the magnets just self adhesive reducing the cut-outs in the glass?
Unless I was wanting to match Beolab 18 wood or the like my own preference would be to stick with fabric.

That's exactly my plan as I own some BL18s. So, after all, I can't now use the BV14-40 wooden fret on my BV11-40!

Try comparing the fronts of both TV's with the frets removed. You might find a way of putting self adhesive thin magnets onto the BV11 designed for clips.

Just to be clear:I'm perfectly happy about my journey with B&O this far, including my current products.
I just do not see that the journey is worth continuing with, say BV14. Maybe with BV14 Mk II that is up-to-date, if there will be such a thing.
(Note: 3D is going away / has left the stage. HDR will not. The former is an "experience", the latter is a picture QUALITY standard.)
B&O/LG OLED – and here the DESIGN is the key – may change how I feel.
BUT IF...
...BV14 had been up-to-standard (HDR, looking at this omission)...
and
...I would have got a reasonable trade-in offer...
I would have upgraded (4K/55" – yes!)
As it is now, let's see what 2017 brings! I'm not jumping ship yet.
In the meanwhile, there are many BeoPlay products to purchase 😁
AND, BeoSound 1 / 2. Let down by the BeoVisions, I'm looking foward to the sound systems.
I may not believe anymore, but I do hope.
A bit off-topic - I know!
HDR is very much in its infancy right now.
I wouldn't buy a 'HDR-tv' from anyone at the moment.
There is still veeery much to do, before we can say that HDR is mature for everyday users.
If you doubt this, please spend an hour on this video:
