Surprised........

or shocked?

Both I hope. If it is standard LG panel connected to a B&O sound box and extra processing(I doubt it) essentially all you pay extra for is the upgraded sound and connectivity.

indeed a possibility, though that may annoy existing / recent purchasers of the NG TVs.....though that consideration may well get overlooked......

I hope the horizon sees the benefit of the new panels, but given how recently they were released I'm not sure Erm..

yes, will be interesting......having various TV options, pricing in absolute and relative terms will be interesting so B&O dont cannibalise the other products........if the OLEDs are more or less the same price as the Avant/BV14 , it will hurt sales of those products i guess......so i expect it will be little more, maybe not by much.....so a 55 BV14 is around (GBP) 7300 with a wall bracket, a 55 Avant with a wall bracket is around 7800, i'm guessing a 55 OLED will be a bit more.....unless they drop the prices of the BV14 / Avant's a little, which is hard to see.......but all guesswork for now i suppose.....

I'll say it again, I was told to be surprised by the pricing🤒

Chris, no dealer has seen or knows anything about the OLED TVs. How can they speculate on pricing? No way they know at this stage.

Sounds like hope, not fact.

Out of interest Is that another previous gen screen? 

I am hoping for the W series in a 65 inch screen.

Is the B and O LG TV going to be manufactured in South Korea in an outsourced arrangement?

To my knowledge the manufacturing will be done by LG, to get economies of scale, so that could be in South Korea I guess.

I was told that dealers are supposed to have an introduction to / glimpse of the B&O OLED in May. If there are no delays, this could mean it's announced during the August/September timeframe. I hope it will be.

The LG OLED I have, properly calibrated for day & night, beats BV11 in picture quality by a very large margin. But LG is no B&O – I miss the B&O design, materials, and sound, even though I have the SH7 soundbar on the wall below the TV.

As for pricing, nothing is set yet – so anything you may hear from your dealer is speculation at this point.

It would be a major disappoint to me if the design and materials were not up to quality of at least the current Avant.  I hope the new Beovision will be the best one they have ever produced.
