provider of high-end audio and video products, introduces a new 55-inch screen

BeoVision 7-55 integrates the sophisticated Bang & Olufsen BeoSystem 3 video
engine, which delivers superior signal processing due to the VisionClear
package of picture improvement technologies. In addition, Bang & Olufsen has
included double frame rate technology, also known as 120 Hz, with motion
compensation and progressive scanning backlight. These technologies
significantly reduce the inherent blur typical of LCD screens. With BeoVision
7-55 the picture is clear and sharp even during fast-moving scenes.
The LCD screen for BeoVision 7-55 is based on new direct-type LED-backlight
with local dimming for greater contrast. The TV contains state-of-the-art
features ensuring a smooth picture performance, a sophisticated digital
surround sound module, and is one of the few flat screen televisions on the
market to include an integrated Blu-ray player.
Freedom in placement
BeoVision 7-55 is designed for floor placement, in order to offer extensive
flexibility for the viewer's seating preferences. BeoVision 7-55 has two
motorized floor stand options - one high, one low - as well as a stationary
wall mount placement.
The motorized solutions allow one to preset viewing positions so the
television and center loudspeaker not only turn, but also tilt the screen to
face the viewer, giving the full picture and sound experience from any
position in the room. Everything is controlled by one-touch operation from a
Bang & Olufsen remote control.
The available color palette further adds to this freedom by offering a number
of different options - natural aluminum, black, blue, dark grey and red.
Extended sound performance
Despite its relatively flat appearance, BeoVision 7-55 offers amazing sound
performance. Built with Active Loudspeaker Technology, the matching stereo
loudspeaker BeoLab 7-6 contains 6 x 125 ICEpower amplifiers in a three-way
bass reflex speaker system. The loudspeaker is equipped with thermal
protection circuits and Adaptive Bass Linearization (ABL), which ensures that
the loudspeaker can perform without distortion even at a very high volume.
Should one seek a tailor-made surround sound setup, the dedicated center
channel speaker, BeoLab 7-4, based on the Bang & Olufsen Acoustic Lens
Technology, is the perfect solution. BeoVision 7-55 provides the best sound
experience based on each customer's individual requirements.
The center of the intelligent home
"BeoVision 7-55 is the cornerstone in the intelligent home as it is a
fantastic hub for combining audio and video experiences with other home
automation systems," says Zean Nielsen, President of Bang & Olufsen America.
"For many customers, home automation is becoming more and more interesting,
and due to increasingly sophisticated interfaces, Bang & Olufsen customers can
actually control and operate all their A/V and home automation equipment from
the programmable Beo5 remote control all over the house."
BeoVision 7-55 inch will be available in all Bang & Olufsen retail locations
by mid to late November 2009. MSRP $18,700 includes floor stand and center
speaker.
