The flare the design so elegant. By the time they unfold and ready to go I would have forgotten why I switched them on.

[@nikitamaslov2415]

just got mine today, totally worth it

[@fxrisxmxli]

B&O are top of the line quality products you will ever find. Their price however....ridiculous like Apple but they do deliver.

[@bacardi3393]

looks like a foldable dinning table from IKEA

[@sofiavoulgari6117]

B&O are the “Rolls Royce”of the televisions’.

[@ChadSlampiece]

Is it hard to deny how beautiful it looks? I think it looks horrible.

[@jjw238]

Just buy the LG TV at a fraction of the price and pair it with a good speaker system.

[@marcosvictor4935]

You'd get way better audio with same pic quality for way less money

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

Exactly what I did

[@donquixoterosinante7899]

Bang and Olufsen.. what a gorgeous name by itself!

[@alex0589]

For the same price you can get that incredible 77 LG panel, a decent (maybe even B&O) stereo system and a coffee table, maybe a nice cushion and a tub of popcorn. Plus, you get to see more than the outer half the tv in 4 years when the motors start failing.

[@RennieAsh]

Alex if they fail you just make sure it can’t close ;-)

[@SweetCherryGrower]

its ugly...and i need my tv torn on in a flash...not waiting for wings to open...and the price...are they crazy?

[@andrewjulianto4898]

B&O: make folding speakers tv for $18000 xiaomi: made $180 folding speakers tv with flexible screen

[@zacharylloyd5153]

one day when im watching PH on this bad boy...im gonna have a back thought of you saying id never own it and than bazinga my dude

[@ilovelimpfries]

Bah, still cheaper than plasma tvs when they first came out. I remember seeing a 60" plasma for $25g.

[@DjFranz876]

Ingenious? That's a stretch

[@m.d.4231]

a robotic arm for an amputee is ingenious. This is an expensive high school project! minus marks for not covering the screen

[@campkira]

It a toy.... Just get B&O for your car or something..

[@bobbinsnest]

It's frustrating enough when I turn on my TV and it takes 5secs or so to warm up. Turning this thing on would drive me crazy!

[@michaelmole8808]

People are mad calling it ugly cause it's expensive

[@xistencestudios8904]

Nah it is kinda ugly . I prefer a sound bar instead

[@michaelmole8808]

@@xistencestudios8904 it's unique not ugly, I like soundbars too

[@xistencestudios8904]

@@michaelmole8808 unique isn't beautiful always . This is quite ugly to me . There could have many ways of execution and they chose this . I would have liked to seen something like a TV table style speaker with a TV that rolls or slides out . Or maybe a TV on the wall that has the speakers completely covering it and making it look like shelves and minimalist , also safeguarding from most thefts . This right now to me just looks like a radiator heater

[@cidiejlek9446]

Wow amazing but who buy that tv?

[@DheerajKumar-dk747]

I think auto sliding front selfie camera also inspiring A/V entertainment industry!

[@vwhite3055]

Beautiful, but impractical. The moving parts worry me (expensive to fix). And I bet there are many far superior sound systems. Also, I'm not of the mind that TVs should be hidden. I'm not embarrassed to watch television.

[@2thirty9]

V White It’s not hiding itself it’s bringing attention to itself, by becoming something unusual when off and practical when on. As to repair cost, when you put 18k in your tv, I doubt you remotely give a shit about repair costs.

[@RennieAsh]

It’s there to create something nicer than a black void in your room when the screen is off. Granted you could have that effect for cheap, eg give your tv some motorised curtains

[@imfartacus7222]

@@RennieAsh For the *EXTRA $14,000* you could make it disappear completely or frickin' hover down from the ceiling 🤣

[@xistencestudios8904]

Easy diy for people who have skills . We will definitely see someone online attempt this

[@lilth501]

You get better value from buying the top of the range LG OLED and probably a better picture Bang and Olufsen all about form over function

[@yurianhuizing2352]

Picture is the same, looks so good. The sound is so good. Not as good as the beolab 50 (also on the sot with the tv) but an amazing tv.

[@Jacqueline-g2j]

I want 3D tv back. That’s makes the difference! Not the the gizmo things.

I dont even close the shower curtain fully and they expect me to fold up my tv when im done? 😂

[@rehova]

Don’t tell me I will never own one

[@gimble8638]

exactly , my house is full of B&O :) im happy with my current beovision eclipse tho as its not even quite a yr old yet and i cost the same as this new one lol

[@satyajeetzagade3546]

Which is the hinge used?? For the unfolding speaker’s?

[@asdz]

Good

[@LesterDarioDeLaCruz]

But why...

[@jayjayjay1077]

YOU WILL NEVER OWN ONE BUT I WILL OWN 1

[@jimgoodwin6294]

Some compare B&O prices to cars - its a good comparison, especially when you compare how much time is spent driving a car (on average) to watching television. Why spend £40k on a car that spends most of its time on the drive and watch a cheap TV. Makes no sense........

[@tommedcouk]

“No one cares about the fabric option” -only if you know nothing about the legacy of the brand

[@fancypants5490]

Smells like broke in here. some of yall are so mad rn lol

[@imfartacus7222]

It's nothing to do with broke. Most people would rather spend $7k on the exact same LG TV without the ugly pointless crap. The extra $14k idiot tax could be spent on a decent surround system, disappearing mechanism, naked TV butler, drugs/hookers etc

[@sekander123ify]

You: Your family and friends: Literally no one: B&O: look at this speaker design on this big ass screen that can fold itself!

[@dreamer9071]

No worries buy 4k mi tv for only $200

[@RennieAsh]

Hmm I could probably try making this and put it in front of a normal tv ;-)

[@leegene1682]

i thought that is the black pink thing

[@jimcole2648]

b&O was a good sounding speaker. Now they are not all that. Cost is beyond what they are worth.

[@AsphaltAntelope]

The last "Wow" thing that B&O made was that vertical CD player stand that held like 6 CDs. They're still expensive 2nd hand. I want one and I don't even own any damn CDs. Since then, they've just made crap and licenced our their brand to be used next to the speakers on middle tier laptops :/

[@sondrejohansen48]

YewTewbe wtf are you speaking? They had made A9 which in itself is a WOW and one of the best high end and innovative speakers in the market. There whole H like of headphones are universally loved by high end audiophiles. There A1 speakers are one of the best mainstream portable speakers you can buy!

[@AsphaltAntelope]

@@sondrejohansen48 WTF? I'm talking about design. You're talking about audio quality. Two different things. I'm sure they do make things that sound nice... I'm saying that they no longer make things that have "Wow" design as proven by this ugly ass TV.

[@arunashamal]

Beolab 90?

[@AsphaltAntelope]

@@arunashamal Maybe my expectations are too high? I searched for images of the Beolab 90 and it's a whacky design but I could image anyone's logo on it. Maybe all the engineering is in the sound quality. Maybe it's wrong for me and others to expect B&O to create great mechanical engineering in the age of digital files. There's no need for that beautiful vertical CD player I mentioned these days :(

[@jimgoodwin6294]

Jacob Jensen & David Lewis designed the most iconic B&O products in the 80's & 90's. Most of my kit was built then and ALL works beautifully to this day........ Timeless...

[@Jordi_RG]

looks awful, they should only focus in audio equipment instead of this

[@Morfar106]

Panel from LG. Not entire tv. THE DISPLAY PANEL

[@xistencestudios8904]

What's left behind ??? If the panel is an LG panel it will have the same level of performance of an LG TV with the same panel . Regardless if Someone else made the controller or software but who else would ? It's like saying the internals are from a Dell PC in this Acer PC body so it performs better / worse

[@Morfar106]

[@theunknown6412]

Just buy a TV and home theater speakers a way more cheap

[@2thirty9]

Zayn Qarnayn Just buy a Toyota not a Rolls Royce. Just buy a flick flack not a Patek Philippe. Just buy an eastpack not a Hermès. Seriously you think anybody interested in buying it want a TV or a status symbol?

[@kittykennedyks]

Firstly, WHY ; Secondly, That's still Gonna grab a lot of attention while watching the TV ; Lastly , Obviously the PRICE

[@hsvr]

The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen wtf. How can you say it’s pretty

[@arunashamal]

PSA: if you think this is expensive, looks like shit, or you'd rather buy a car than the TV. That means you made bad decisions in your life and now it sucks. It is ok. pick it up and start doing something to be successful. One day you will be able to afford one without being salty!

[@5iTube]

Only for those who have a lot of cash to spare.

[@NetvoTV]

So do the tv panel has any B&O tune or just LG tune?

[@jimgoodwin6294]

The panel is simply a panel. Its the electronics that control the panel that make it different. Like the same same tyres being used on different cars......

[@herpsenderpsen]

Just because it has a ridiculous price tag doesn't mean it's pretty. Frankly, it's one of the uglier designs i've seen.

[@ChefBardo]

How "Modern Art".......

It dosent look good... i rather have a normal tv

B&O is one of the leaders of high end audios! They are not at all arrogant and are not meant for idiots like you! Only high end audiophiles go for them! And they sell just great, you should see here in Scandinavia, a lot of people have B&O speakers and even my school uses A9 speakers in some of the rooms I myself have a H9i which is just the best headphone imo as long as you can afford it
