Bang & Olufsen’s Beovision Harmony 65-inch TV has a Butterfly Effect
The Beovision Harmony folds away when not in use. First shown at Milan Design Week back in April, B&O unveiled its stylishly folding Beovision Harmony all-in-one OLED TV and speaker system.
Yes, the Beovision Harmony folds away when not in use. There is a three-channel speaker system, housed in a choice of oak wood/aluminium, or a combined Grey Melange two-tone fabric/aluminium front that conceals the Harmony’s 65-inch LG OLED C9 television screen when not in use or just listening to music.
When you want to catch up on your boxsets, however, the attractive wooden speaker panels fan out like butterfly wings while the screen raises to ideal viewing height.
John Mollanger, B&O’s Executive Vice President of Brand and Markets told StereoNET:
With Beovision Harmony, we wanted to create a meaningful object for the interior that reduces the visual presence of the TV and transforms it into something that people develop an emotional attachment to.
The panel is from LG, and so sports LG’s webOS 4.5 smart apps, such as Netflix and Amazon, as well as AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Bluetooth.
Additionally, the built-in 7.1 surround sound decoder and B&O multi-room capabilities mean that you can connect up to eight of the company’s Beolab speakers for quite an impressive surround system.
All sources and connected devices can be controlled with the Beoremote One — a beautiful piece of technology that has been ergonomically designed and crafted from a single piece of extruded aluminium.
Beovision Harmony, including the LG OLED C9 65” TV optimised for Bang & Olufsen, is estimated to retail from $21,500 and is available to order in Australia and New Zealand now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
