Bang & Olufsen’s New 103-inch BeoVision Plasma
At $135K, the BeoVision 4 plasma comes with automated stand and self-calibration features.
March 19, 2009 | by Chuck McKenney

In the market for a giant, automated plasma TV?

Bang & Olufsen is rolling out the 103-inch BeoVision 4-103 for the summer.

When you power on this 1080p monster, the stand raises and the loudspeaker surfaces.

Here’s the description from the official press release:

When the TV is turned on, the screen will elegantly elevate itself to the optimal viewing position, and the seamlessly integrated BeoLab 10 centre loudspeaker will emerge underneath the screen, moving forward until it is flush with the front frame of the screen. At the same time, the screen will turn and tilt according to the user’s preferences. When the TV goes into standby mode, the whole process is repeated in reverse; all at the touch of a button on the Beo5 remote control.

The BeoVision 4 includes VisionClear technology which automatically adjusts color and brightness. Every 120 hours - the TV gets re-calibrated. How’s that for self-sufficient?

Bang & Olufsen is making the TV available in July for approximately $135,000 (100,000 Euro).

That is just beyond awesome! Ever since a college roomate brought his late 80’s Bang & Olufsen stereo system into our apartment..I have been intrigued with the company. Even though this panel no doubt uses Panasonic glass, (not a bad thing however) you can bet that the electronics and image processing behind the panel are second to none. The rising stand and speaker system are just too cool for my geek brain to process….almost makes the pricetag seem worth it. :)

Get an oem panasonic and future automation lift for better integration and a bit cheaper :)

Before I could afford better equipment I used to buy stuff from them.  It would be nice to maybe have in the kitchen or spare bathroom but I don’t think it would be good enough for let’s say a karate dojo or a hospital for clowns or doves.
