A Goliath Of A Screen From Bang and Olufsen

Bang and Olufsen has launched a 103-inch screen that comes with a stand that can lift the TV and tilt it to the optimal viewing position at the touch of a button.

Called BeoVision 4, the 103-inch plasma TV is placed on a motorized floor stand, with the screen itself resting only inches above the floor when the TV is not in use, thus reducing its prominence in the room and concealing all integrated applications.

Bang and Olufsen’s CEO, Karl Hvidt said, “BeoVision 4 is not only an outstanding top of the range TV, it is also a truly unique product concept. As such, it provides a strong brand statement, and confirms Bang & Olufsen’s position as the world’s leading AV-provider.”

When the TV is turned on, the screen will elegantly elevate itself to the optimal viewing position, and the seamlessly integrated BeoLab 10 centre loudspeaker will emerge underneath the screen, moving forward until it is flush with the front frame of the screen. At the same time, the screen will turn and tilt according to the user’s preferences. When the TV goes into standby mode, the whole process is repeated in reverse; all at the touch of a button on the Beo5 remote control.

BeoVision 4-103 is by nature mainly suited for home cinema viewing owing to its exceptional picture quality and significant size. However, this TV incorporates a range of picture improvement technologies, such as automatic picture control and an anti-reflection coated contrast screen, which also enhances the viewing experience during daytime viewing.

Offering a superior integrated surround sound solution which makes it possible to connect up to 14 BeoLab speakers, BeoVision 4-103 furthermore introduces Adaptive Sound Technology. This unique technology has the capacity to transform an entire room into one big sweet spot. With Adaptive Sound Technology, the sound can be made to appear directly in front of the listener no matter where the loudspeakers are placed and regardless of the listener’s position in the room.

Bang & Olufsen customers can also control and operate all their A/V and home automation equipment from the programmable Beo5 remote control. Control of light settings plus access to security systems, ventilation, curtains, pool cover, burglar alarm etc. are only some of the countless possibilities.

The BeoVision 4 103-inch is available to order now in Australia, with the RRP of $150,000 for wall configuration and $180,000 for floor stand configuration. Prices include BeoSystem 3 module, BeoLab 10 centre loudspeaker and Beo5 remote.
