Agreed, hence why they should modify speakers like the Beoplay M5 to act as supplementary speakers apro pro, achieving surround sound😐

WiSA Smartstick or ? HDMI 2.1 - eARC ?
HDMI 2.1 - eARC Spec'. So when will 4K TVs from LG, Panasonic, Samsung or Sony arrive with
HDMI 2.1 compatibility? Our guess would be early 2019.
Products with eARC, however, are coming out slowly. Onkyo and Pioneer are the first to offer
eARC updates on select AV products, mainly: Onkyo TX-RZ830, Integra DRX-5.2, Pioneer
SC-LX502 and Pioneer VSX-LX503 AV receivers.
If your TV is HDMI eARC enabled, but your AV amp or soundbar is only compatible with HDMI ARC,
it’s likely you’ll get a sound - but the bandwidth restrictions of ARC will mean you won’t be able to
experience the high bitrate audio that eARC can provide. So no, it's not backwards-compatible.
Some AV receivers and soundbars that don’t have HDMI 2.1 chipsets can be upgraded to support
eARC, but it varies between manufacturers and models. It depends if they are using compatible
hardware that can accept the necessary firmware update.
Enhanced Audio Return Channel (also known as eARC) is the next generation of ARC. It’s a feature
being implemented in the upcoming HDMI 2.1 specification.
The main benefit of eARC is a big boost in bandwidth and speed. This allows you to send higher-
quality audio from your TV to a soundbar or AV receiver.
There’s scope for eARC to deliver up to 32 channels of audio, including eight-channel, 24bit/192kHz
uncompressed data streams at speeds of up to 38Mbps.
This means all those high bitrate formats currently available on Blu-ray discs, 4K Blu-rays and some
streaming services – Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and object-based formats such as
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – will all be compatible.
As it becomes a LG OLED TV that distributes WiSA-based wireless Dolby Atmos audio,
I think this is an important enlightenment as this concerns the sent sound quality.
Yes okay! It is then easier to debate a topic where answers can be found at Bang & Olufsen
homepage, than what will be launched by new and important opportunities in the near future.

I’m not sure how I feel about a store brand tv, which specializes and makes GREAT TVs, lumping in a lot of features. What I mean is that I appreciate the time and effort different brand spend on perfecting certain elements.So LG perfected the LED, by going for the OLED. B&O specialized in creating highly designed and good sounding products, and so forth and so on.The home receiver, amplifier, and preamplifier are a multi billion dollar industry. To have a great decoder/preamplifier built into a wafer thin tv leaves me wondering how good it can be. Yes, I’m sure for the average consumer, it’s plenty good... but Iv noticed manufacturers these days roping people into cheap solutions with no alternative for those that want the best that can possibly be had. The new generation value convenience over all else, while the entire rest of mankind’s history cherishes the endeavor for greatness that is possible. Maybe Iv been reading too many brochures and pamphlets from brands trying to sell $10k preamplifiers..... or too many mechanical watch magazines trying to sell that idea.We all know why we love B&O.... because speakers could be that much better than just a box off a department store shelf. And what I mean by more is a lot of things... a story, heritage, pursuit of perfection, design, ambition etc.Now we are talking wireless sound bars and wafer thin decoders for the most advanced audio technical advancement in a long time in Dolby atmos. Just seems a bit of a mismatch to me. It’s a time some people are selling pure silver core cables to eek out the very last ounce of performance, and others selling wireless connectivity via microwaves. I suppose hats a good thing.
Hallo Howzit - We love B&O - but - Think about this -
It has now been a management decision in Bang & Olufsen to successfully sell the production units
and other assets from. Then we can bust the lost values, just as crazy we want. BeoLab speaker will
sooncould be purchased online as BeoPlay. How many B & O stores survive without just a BeoVision
TV. ?. BeoVision Eclipse = LG panel anno 2017, will be the last. Therefore, I have no alternative and is
completely satisfied with LG's initiatives. We have no alternatives other than an LG TV in the B & O store today.
WiSA Home Audio Entertainment
Whether it’s a 2.1 starter system or a full 7.1 surround experience, WiSA-certified devices always
work in perfect harmony. Build, scale, mix, and match. With WiSA, the possibilities are endless.
So can we assume then that B&O stores will be full of WISA equipped LG TVs? No more Beo 1 remote then surely.I’ll hold onto mine for as long as the software holds out then I guess. Can you even imagine having this thought 5 years ago?Hallo Howzit - We love B&O - but - Think about this - It has now been a management decision in Bang & Olufsen to successfully sell the production units and other assets from.

Hi Chris Townsend
No! From Tue Mantoni started (Mono-brand) BeoPlay. From there Bang & Olufsen's brand fell in value. 🙁

Indeed, I've mentioned numerous times that some of the things we've been used to in the past ( BR, PUC etc) may now disappear from future products.Hope I'm wrong, or that some way through can be found for some kind of BR to be used in a hybrid (3rd party TV / B&O speakers) setup. But I'd start thinking about a world where such a setup would involve something different from the existing BR1.
