Review: Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay V1 Television

Let’s start with the obvious. Unless your name is Kardashian, Trump, or Zuckerberg, you’re not going to pay $4,000 for a 40-inch HDTV. Bling be damned, that’s literally ten times the price of a typical 40-inch LCD at your local big-box. Ten. Times.

On the other hand, this is Bang & Olufsen we’re talking about, a company that unabashedly charges whatever the hell it wants for its bling-be-everything audio gear. The BeoPlay V1 marks the first HDTV effort from B&O’s new Play brand, which obviously isn’t synonymous with “affordable.” But surely there’s something about this panel that justifies such an exorbitant price tag?

Killer 3-D? Check. Ultra-slim design? Check. Netflix and other apps? Check. The best remote ever engineered? Check.

That completes the list of features the BeoPlay V1 doesn’t have. Excited yet?

This TV does exactly two things right, though arguably they’re the two most important things: picture and sound. Everything else feels like either a mistake or an oversight.
