Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 10, Hands-On

After reading about its announcement it in late March, we finally got to see the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 10 for ourselves. Technically, it is a 40-inch (1080p) HDTV equipped with a 240Hz LCD panel and killer audio (with B&O, it’s hard to expect anything else). In the right environment, you might not immediately guess that it is a TV/speaker combo. Instead, it looks like a piece of art (in many ways, it is), and even its square shape doesn’t immediately scream “TV”. Bang & Olufsen calls this a “Frameless” design and it is the company’s thinnest display to date, even if it is not impressively thin like what we saw at CES 2010. Only its price can equal its uniqueness: $7675 MSRP. Crunchy specifications in the full post.
