Interested in the above, probably an 11-46 and so far viewed a 40" and pocture and sound seems impressive to me.
I love the look, sound and connecticity of these, however it does bug me that the 11 isn't 4k.

The tv is to be wall mounted on a motorised wall nracket as voewing positions will vary and the room size is 20' x 16' so will probably be sat around 15 to 17' away. I understand that 4k is wasted on a 40, 46 or 55" screen at this distance.

Anyone own one amd have any postitive or negative feedback, or anyone else viewed these and have comments?
I'm also aware of the Loewe Bild (currently have a Loewe whicj i'm pleased with).

Great design, superb sound and amazing connectivity if you have B&O speakers. However...no way I would spend that sort of money on an edge lit lcd.

The Loewe Bild 7.55 does every thing the B&O does if you like the design of it, and the picture is arguably the best image seen from a TV to date, image wise it will wipe the floor with the Beovision 11-46.

Have B&O announced the price of their OLED yet?

Agreed regarding the price of the beovision.
I've not heard of any prices for their oled set.

I know there is a cheaper option for 4k with the horizon model but the review don't seem great compared to the beovision or the avant

The 14 is 4K, but how much 4K content is available? I've certainly not seen anything like enough to replace my BluRay collection with. And they're talking about 8 & 16K already!

Anyone know what panels B&O use? I love their domestic and car audio systems, but I've never liked their TVs. The gadgets and speakers don't make up for the unground breaking image quality.

It's why I've clung onto my 50" Pioneer Plasma for proper 24fps viewing. Sure it's an old Dinosaur that is essentially an extra radiator in the room, but to my eyes at least, I haven't seen anything that MASSIVELY surpasses it yet.

The dealer told me they are using Samsung screens but with proprietry processing, loght sensor and anti glare coating etc.
I suppose in terms of 4k content there is netflix.

The Beoworld forum is extremely good for B&O info.

A 4k TV is i understand to be released soon - maybe worth speaking to your local dealer.

Hi Hippo,
I bought a Beovision 11/46 a few years back and do not regret it in any way,however it is more for the music (connected to B&O speakers) and control over speaker levels etc that i enjoy it for rather than the screen quality having said that it is bloody good on that front too , and has already been said there is not a huge 4K menu at the moment.As with all B&O stuff it is also the design that appeals and having a square frame is a little different and it is so kool to switch on (on floor stand) and it moves to your chosen position.The intergrated speaker is damn good too for a tv and again you have full control over it.I guess it just depends what you want from your tv these days smile

Good to hear that are enjoying it.
I love the design, and the motorised wall bracket and thunk it would really suit the room.
I also thought the picture is good but its a nagging feeling that it is still a lot of money for a tv and there isn't 4k.
If I try and be rational I know that there is not much 4k content, and I'll be sitting around 15 foot away from it so the higher definition maybe wasted on me. So maybe its not an issue.

For me the design was part of the deal (i know this is a tech forum lol) but even when switched off it still puts a big smile on my face as an object in its own right which has to be worth a few quid of the overall cost,combine that with supporting a small Danish company and dealers you can call up any time for advice and guidance and you are quids in smile AND before i am shot down i know they do not make all the parts,neither did TVR but what a ride !
