BeoVision 5

BeoVision

Production: 2002 - 2006

Designed with the flexibility of integrating the television into a home décor as close as possible, BeoVision 5 could be customized with frames and grilles in a wide variety of colors (see below). The 16:9 widescreen plasma  TV was created with a variety of stands in mind; it could be either wall mounted or made to rest on the floor or its own specially manufactured low-slung cabinet and provided storage for a DVD player, satellite decoder and other A/V-related equipment. An optional motorized swivel base allowed for floor or tabletop mounting.

The TV was fitted with MasterLink for connection to other Bang & Olufsen equipment for around-the-house usage and Power Link for active speakers to be connected to surround yourself with sound in your home cinema.
