Bang & Olufsen has unveiled a new TV proposition: the BeoVision 4 plasma screen combined with the dedicated BeoLab 10 loudspeaker, delivering what B&O is calling ‘a new experience in home cinema, featuring the latest Bang & Olufsen Automatic Colour Management technology’.
Available in both 50-inch and 65-inch plasma, the Beovision 4 provides Full HD resolution pictures with the natural effects of aging on a plasma screen apparently countered with Bang and Olufsen’s new Automatic Colour Management technology, which claims to maintain long lasting colour quality.
What happens is that after every 100 hours of viewing, or as often as you choose, a short robotic arm with a camera eye at the end swings down from behind the aluminium frame and measures a test picture that appears on the screen. In a matter of seconds, the colour temperature is analysed and adjusted to ensure consistent colour reproduction even after thousands of hours of use.
Other features of the TV include:
* Automatic Picture Control sensors which constantly measure light conditions and adjust brightness and contrast accordingly.
* the new BeoLab 10 speaker, which works with the BeoVision 4 as a dedicated centre loudspeaker. The flat triangular BeoLab 10 is wall mounted below the screen and apparently performs to the same high standards as Bang & Olufsen’s most powerful loudspeakers.
* Bang & Olufsen’s Acoustic Lens Technology, which spreads sound from the BeoLab 10’s centre channel 180 degrees in the horizontal plane while simultaneously controlling vertical dispersion
* A curved brushed aluminium frame which contrasts with the dynamic triangular BeoLab 10.
The 50in is available now in silver and black, with colour options due in the summer, while the 65in will be available in silver and black from March, with colour options again coming on line in the summer.
