Bang & Olufsen introduces BeoVision Horizon, an Android-powered 4K TV

It’s not Bang & Olufsen’s first venture into the 4K UHD space so we were hoping it packed in the latest High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology (unfortunately, it does not). But the new BeoVision Horizon isn’t exactly a slouch either. Coming with 40- or 48-inch screens, these stylish yet minimalist TVs come with different stands to suit your preference. There is the default wall mount, a rolling cart design (which Digital Trends pointed out looks like the TVs we borrowed from AV department at school), and a pivoting stand that lets the screen pan from left to right. It’s an Android TV so expect all the features the platform has to offer.

The remote makes use of both Bluetooth and IR so you don’t even need to point it at the TV to get it to work. The remote is a looker in itself, being made out of a single piece of aluminum. The TVs include four HDMI 2.0 inputs (which support HDCP 2.2) to allow for other 4K sources to be connected. It also has HEVC and VP9 codecs included so you can stream 4K content from YouTube, Netflix, and the like.
