the warmth of wood chosen for the cover of the speaker is inspired by the acoustic experience of ‘beolab 18’ which has the same style of oak slats. three-way custom speakers adorn the front, which are covered by ultra-thin oak wood lamellas. the audio components are based on that found in the ‘beolab 18’ loudspeaker. a cloth front cover can be chosen instead of the elegant oak allowing the television to blend into a number of environments seamlessly.

‘beovision 14’ has two LCD screen options, 40 or 55 inches, featuring anti-reflective front glass that reduces the reflection of the display to an extent even greater than 98%. the TV also offers sophisticated processing to ensure optimal images and sounds in all situations — while watching a movie, listening to music and gaming.

the bright television is fully integrated with all other ‘multiroom beolink’ products from bang & olufsen. to accompany the launch of ‘beovision 14’, the danish manufacturing company presents a new version of their ‘beoremote one’. the smart control with bluetooth features four new ‘mybuttons’, which are essentially buttons that allow viewers to take a snapshot of a setting and returning it as such with a simple touch.
