Bang & Olufsen Beovision Harmony: Even bigger

© Bang & Olufsen

The home cinema series Beovision Harmony from Bang & Olufsen presents itself as a technical work of art. When the OLED TV is switched off, its optically elegant soundbar splits in the middle, with the halves turning upright until they finally cover the dark screen to a considerable extent. This exclusive TV family is growing.

An 83-inch screen (around 210 centimeters diagonal) has been added to the previous sizes of 66, 77 and 88 inches. While the 88-inch model has 8K pixels up its sleeve, the new 83 and the sizes below count 4K.

The other equipment corresponds to the previous TVs in the series. In addition to the usual HLG contrast for TV broadcasts, they also know the HDR formats HDR 10 and Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision is integrated in the latter. The sound department is beyond any doubt: With a total output of 450 watts, distributed over six drivers, the noble model heats up the home cinema powerfully. B&O follows a stereo setting plus center speaker, which also processes surround formats up to Dolby Digital 7.1 and DTS HD Master Audio 7.1.

The music services Deezer and TuneIn are allowed to stream content to go with the power of sound, and you can wirelessly add your own material via Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2. As a smart platform, B&O has adopted LG’s WebOS concept. The design and technology package costs 21,000 euros.
