The BeoVision 4-103 has been introduced here: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1237406140

There's a cool video showing how the automatic stand raises the TV, too!

The 3rd picture is cool... A surroundsound setup with 6 BL5's!!!! :-) 

Yes very cool stuff  !!

100,000 euros plus Vat   .

Hmm maybe if it included Vat it would be worth it - yeah right.

Am I the only one who doesn't really like it ?

It's just really big.

Can't make up my mind yet.. The pictures look good... But I'll have to see it in real life first :-)

Yeah, I would like to see it too. But where? I don't know any Oil Sheikhs :-)

You can see it in Munich and New York. There was another city, have forgotten it.

I believe  there is a market within commercial applications, i.e. hotel lobbies, exhibition stands etc.

Maybe that's a better use for it. Do companies still spend that type of money though when they can probably get it a lot cheaper elsewhere and integrate it into a wall where you don't really see the frame anyway ?

Yes, it's a statement and something which can help boost B&O's name further.

Official info has been announced by B&O now. Read more here: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1237447640

Do you guys know where to see it in New York? I'm there from time to time.

It really blows my mind when she walks past it. It is HUGE.

That's the effect i liked in the video, it is SOOO cool, i love it

Not practical in my situation, Love the thought and a definite WOW factor , but ...... the screen lowers to nearly floor level.......mmmmm am I the only one that sees problems with potential accidents just waiting to happen[:'(].   Perhaps the size of his thing will scare the hell out of people and keep them at a safe distance. 

Also what would the distance from a back wall be to accomodate the stand and screen?

Apparently, there are built-in sensors to prevent injuries (in case the BV should make contact with any object)

Upon contact, the BV will move in the opposite direction.

Good for those who have pets I guess. I'd hate to see a tragic 100 000 euro dog/cat vs BV accident.

The integration in the Wall is a good point. I stayed just now in the W Hotel in Istanbul. They had an entire wall out of mirrored glas, and behind it and interesting lamp on one side, and a normal LCD TV screen on the other.  If you would switch on the tV, you could see the screen. If it was off, you just had mirrored glas. Very nice. I still would have preferred a BV6.

I didn't believe for a moment that I would like this monster but I find the design (stand & speaker) interesting and appealing.  It would be good news if they made the 65 inch with this stand/speaker - this would then put it in the realms of possibility both in terms of price and space for normal sized houses in cities. 

Spain Prices for the "Creature":

 - Floor Stand: about 99.000 €

 - Wall Mount: about 86.100 €

The price includes BV4 103" screen, BSys3, BL10 and Stand/Wall Bracket. The cost of the delivery services are not included.

Delivery ...good point , you have to the rent one of those..

THATS needed just for the STAND

Does it come with it's dedicated nuclear power plant to fire it up? Wouldn't want to get the electric bill in for that one!!!

Anyone here planing to buy it ?

Or I need to wait for next MTV cribs series

R Patton:

 

Also what would the distance from a back wall be to accomodate the stand and screen?

My assumption is that the distance to the wall isn't very much, from the front of the screen to the wall would be 50% of the diameter of the base. If you have a TV like this, it would be insured against accidental damage from where it's mounted, you'd be insane not to insure it!

jk1002: Do you know where in New York?

I'm told by a friend who works for Audi, that this will end up in the new Audi showroom / head office they are building in West London!!
