If the 85-inch, 3D display on Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision 4-85 doesn’t turn a few heads, maybe its motorised stand will. Their first foray into 3DTVs, BeoVision stand automatically tilts and rises to match your line of sight, giving you an optimum view of the anti-reflective plasma screen, which is housed in a handsome aluminium frame. Pricing is unknown at the moment, but expect to get more details when the BeoVision 4-85 is revealed tomorrow in Moscow. [Engadget]
Tuning your television is something only videophiles and Gizmodo readers do (seriously, normal people don’t care enough to spend a few hours on this), but Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision 4 might change that practice. The 1080p TV has a built-in robotic arm with a camera on the end that swings down in front of the display in order to test the picture.
Yes, they did it again. Danish pals, clown number and technology re-packers Bang & Olufsen want to sell you another Samsung LCD panel in a nice box: the BeoVision 7. Nothing wrong with that. Their 40-inch TV with integrated DVD and central speaker certainly looks amazing, but when Kim Gravesen, B&O Chief here, says she’s “very excited for the arrival of BeoVision 7 as it is truly an unparalleled LCD television and home entertainment unit that exhibits renowned Bang & Olufsen design and technology” I just have to jump in. Three words for you, Kim. Made. In. Korea.
If you want unparalleled technology for its $13,250 price tag, you can get yourself a better Samsung Full HD TV, a good AV receiver and some good speakers. And if you want something to look great on your bachelor pad then burn that credit card in the BeoVision 7. And eat less danish pastry. – Jesus Diaz
AU: Just to add further condemnation, last I knew, it was Samsung who supplied panels to B&O for their TVs. So when they aren’t even delivering the latest in Samsung high-end, and charging a lot more for them, that B&O cache begins to lose its edge. -SB
