Súper hermoso

Great video Steve. Thanks for showing all of the connections too, that's what i have been waiting to see

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks! I was really pleased to see how good the connectivity is on this TV, so it can be used alongside old or newer B&O products easily

Thanks for posting! The Harmony makes the Beolab 18s look tiny!!

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks - yes, it really is a big TV! The forthcoming 65" version should be a bit smaller, hopefully still with all the drama......

LG Oled TV C9 + B&O sound , best of the bests!

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, LG are top of their game for picture quality and no-one can come close to B&O for sound - the visual drama of the Harmony's movement is also really impressive!

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Vilson Lekaj picked up the LG C9 65” this weekend from Richer Sounds..... pretty awesome for 2k. Plus.... the sound is quite incredible for a built in system

Brilliant video Steve I'm tawrn between the 65 or 77 will I lose any wattage or power if I pick the 65 inch i spoke with John from Manchester last week he said they would be going up in price in October so I have to make that move quickly, thanks Matt Curtis 🇬🇧

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks Matt! Power consumption is very low for both screen sizes, they both have the same excellent specifications. Yes, I just heard about the price increase coming, so best to make the decision before then if you can!

[@mattcurtis3019]

Beautiful TV great review Steve 👍

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks, I love the design of this TV!

[@leselhbr8853]

That is so cool

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@leselhbr8853]

I got Bose sound bar what is the difference between Bose and bang Olufsen

[@soundsheavenly]

@@leselhbr8853 The difference is like night and day - B&O is in a league above Bose in my opinion. You really need to hear then for yourself in a B&O store to see what they sound like

[@leselhbr8853]

Thank you be cool

[@SahinCetinkaya]

Hi, I am about to buy a b&o harmony 83 inch, do you have any comments or advice on that? 2023 Harmony 83 inches use LG G3 screens? Thanks a lot

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, the Harmony uses LG G series screens, I think they are the best displays in the World right now.

[@johnkean6852]

Its lovely design

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, it really is special when you see it in person

[@johnkean6852]

@@soundsheavenly l think we're living in a "post-future" World now, since B&O, Concorde _et al_ was the apex of wo/man's design ideology: nothing so ingenious will ever be seen again; possibly only copies of what once was. I know its a sad truth of our this new covid dystopia. (Maybe Apple can be included in the list but l'm not a fan.)

[@soundsheavenly]

Good point. Agreed.

[@frankandrew9080]

Hi. Can I use current LG G3 with beovision Harmony

[@soundsheavenly]

Best to check that with your local B&O dealer to be sure

[@samuelo.4298]

the best i av seen

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, it is a superb TV

[@pascalkrzeminski7341]

Torsten Valeur Design, the legacy and succession of David Lewis

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, I have been really impressed with some of Torsten's recent designs, including Harmony and Beolab 18.

[@chrish8871]

Videos I’ve seen on this show an uneven gap in the speakers when open.

[@soundsheavenly]

I also saw some minor issues of this nature on early pre-production versions of the Harmony, these appear to all have been resolved in the production models as far as I am aware.

[@adebayo221]

I am yet to see it in flesh. Did B&O stylishly redesign Beovox 5000 wall speaker to make Harmony TV? It reminds me reading from one of their 1990's brochure that TV and audio will be two faces of same coin and maybe Harmonyi is the result.

[@soundsheavenly]

It is very nice when you see it in person, that is interesting about the Beovox 5000 wall panel speakers, I can see the similarity now you mention it - maybe they used these speakers as an inspiration for the TV design?

[@leonardread13]

How much would it cost if the bloody thing didn't move?

[@soundsheavenly]

Good question...however I personally love the fact that it is a piece of theatre watching it all unfold - proper Bang & Olufsen magic at work!

[@lordlexy]

Can it be wall-mounted?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, yes you can wall mount the Harmony, it looks superb on a wall or a floor stand!

[@AM-in5cf]

What about the oled wich roles in from Lg

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, the rolling TV from LG doesn't work with the Harmony, but you can use this TV with the new Beosound Stage speaker from B&O - please check out my video on this new speaker on my channel.

[@aleksandradimkovic2805]

How much £🤔

[@soundsheavenly]

Please check the Bang & Olufsen website for the latest prices in your local currency.

[@ThatPixelGuy]

Isn't the 88 an 8K OLED

[@soundsheavenly]

The 88" version was launched almost a year after I shot this video, this does now have the new 8k LG panel fitted

[@ThatPixelGuy]

@@soundsheavenly ah I see, thank you for clarifying!

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, no problem! I am looking forward to seeing the 88” Harmony in UK B&O stores very soon, video review to follow.... 👍

[@gorter23]

i liked the youtube. i am not a fan of the Harmony. the only thing i like about it is that at a later date you can swap the screen for a newer one so there is a bit of upgrading/recycling going on. if the speakers/moving parts are out a alignment as was the case with the one i saw it would annoy the living daylights out of me. as a product i feel it isnt as much as a power move when compared to the BeoVision 1 when that came out. yes it does look special and one of a kind, to me the wow factor just isnt there.

[@soundsheavenly]

Eric Gorter I also like the fact that the screen can be upgraded (eg. When 8k is launched). The Harmony TVs on display at the moment are pre production prototypes, so there may be minor alignment issues, knowing B&O these will be resolved before production.

[@abdelkaderelbachir3817]

I disagree the latest Sony Bravia had one of the most breathtaking displays I ever seen in my life it just looks better than real life and also the sound quality is wild the sound actually comes from the display itself

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, there are some great TVs being made now, please bear in mind that my review was filmed nearly two years ago! The quality of TVs has changed enormously since then, B&O's Harmony is one of the main reasons that other companies have raised their game. Harmony can also be upgraded to accept newer and better displays as the technology improves so it stays at the front of the game.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Hard to beat an oled lg g2 panel right now tbh. And the 8k one at £44k is even better 😂

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, that is one of the recommended panels with the new B&O Theatre cinema system 👍🏻

[@jesterlee7526]

If it takes that long to open, people are just going to leave it in the open position, which defeats all the engineering that went into closing it.

[@soundsheavenly]

Interesting thought, but most of the people I know who use this TV every day still let it open and close each time. The drama of seeing it opening is always enjoyable to watch

[@jesterlee7526]

@@soundsheavenly I saw a demo -- it takes 15 seconds. It's supposed to evoke the sense of curtains opening in the movie theater but I dunno...maybe I'm too impatient lol.

[@soundsheavenly]

@@jesterlee7526 😀The movement doesn't appeal to everyone, but some people really do like it. As you mentioned, you can switch it on or off to suit your preference, the TV and sound is superb either with or without the movement.

[@jesterlee7526]

@@soundsheavenlyOther than the gimmicky movement that doesn't work for me (but others love as you pointed out), it seems to be a great statement piece. For the price I was hoping they'd use a bigger OLED screen though, like the C1 83".

[@anthonycruz5582]

I love B & O, I can almost guarantee it breaking. Too expensive to own, possibly worse to have it repaired. LG TV? Really?? Good luck

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks for your feedback - I would encourage you to try some B&O products for yourself - my 1990 B&O music system at home has been in use every day since I bought it 20 years ago and it has never failed ;-) B&O have a history of working with the best companies in the industry to provide the parts that they can't make in house, LG currently make the World's best TV panels so it makes sense for them to use LG screens and add their own audio to them. Have you seen and heard this TV in person yet?

that is the most pointless use of motors i've ever seen. why would you even cover a tv you can't hide?

Yes, it is pointless, but when you see it in person it is really rather nice and a bit theatrical. I like it, but then I am quite a fan of nice, pointless things! ;-)

[@sk7262]

@@soundsheavenly ok then. if it covered the screen i'm in. this however is just like a kid trying to camouflage in the woods behind a leaf. maybe they ran out of $$ to cover the screen

Probably,one hundred thousand dollars lol

Erm, no... the 65" version costs around $15,700 USD. Not cheap, but actually pretty decent value for one of the best TVs in the World I think?

God it looks a mess with cables .

This was a pre-production version in the video, the finished model looks a lot neater.
