BeoVision 4 was introduced to the Bang & Olufsen range of plasma TV products to offer the customer a greater variety from which to choose. Offered initially as 37″ and 42″ models, the field has subsequently grown to televisions right up to the 50″, 65″ and 85″ sizes. And from mid-2009 a giant-sized 103” model was introduced with, from April 2011, Bang & Olufsen's first foray into the world of 3D TV: the BeoVision 4-85 3D.
A typical BeoVision 4 set up would have included the screen itself initially linked to a BeoSystem 2, the master unit having the same functionality as BeoVision 5. From 2008 there was the external BeoSystem 3module to choose from which provided “intelligent technology behind the perfect picture” and integrated all high definition entertainment sources with complete digital surround sound and total BeoLink compatibility.
