do I understand correctly that you can use the Theatre without any wings? does it look weird with gaps?
The BSTH is designed for a 55in screen (without wings). Wings can be purchased separately (at the stupid price of £800 a set) for 65in and 77in screens. I did consider at one point buying the 77in wing-set to go with a 65in screen and go for the Eclipse look. However, common sense was flicked back in to high" mode.
I find the gap between screen and BSTH almost not noticeable from the fret width upward. DHA's picture probably accentuates matters (non-LG screen, bright backlight behind the panel and eye-level at the joint).
You can fiddle endlessly to (limited) adjust the gap, how forward/backward/Tilt and twist you want the panel. The hardest adjustment is to jockey the ends of the panel to match the sides of the BSTH.
Photo below is my Panel set-up at the viewing position.
This Photo shows how the BSTH tries to hide its bulk and how relatively close the Panel goes to the wall. The SMI and out-going cables drive that distance.
I've gotta say, (I would say that wouldn't I?), that this product comes across as a pretty decent offering from B&O. The design is out there, unusual, quirky but it works. The TV is packed with tech and sounds very good. I was even expecting the App to be useless. Yes, there a few things missing but as a software driven product, it works surprisingly well for a B&O product, a few weeks out of the box.
