Big 40-inch bang from Bang & Olufsen

In the office.
And on the beach

The web magazine for top managers - who's promoted, who came, who left? And what to do when you're not in the office.

Bang & Olufsen could easily be two Danish words for "design" & "quality". Indeed, for many Hi-Fi and design aficionados they are just that. It seems that company founded 75 years ago is stuck in time. They created some truly amazing audio systems of 20th century, and they continue to do so. They live in their own time, caring only about state of the art technology.

And that is amazing. The new Bang & Olufsen's 40-inch LCD wide screen is named Beovision 7 is created to be "the one and only" entertainment system. It integrates a wide screen monster, a DVD player, and a digital surround sound and center channel speaker.

Beovision 7 uses some new B&O's technologies for high-quality High Definition picture. The loudspeakers are packed with Acoustic Lens Technology. In simple English that means the sound picture is clear in every part of your room.

The VisionClear is one word for several technologies that cares for superb picture: daylight adaptation, anti-reflective contrast screen, motion compensation algorithm, dynamic noise reduction, and automatic picture control sensors... We'll stop here.

When you switch on Beovision 7, the electronic curtains glide aside. When you activate DVD, the loader swings out from below the screen in a silent. And you'll se a prismatic lighting effect that illuminates the text on the disc. The B7's floor stand is, of course, motorized so to adjust the position of the big B7 you will need just on touch on the remote. And when switched off it will go to sleep, to its original position. And those are just main characteristics of Beovision 7. This audio-video beauty is available in black, dark gray, red, and blue color. The price of the new B7 is expected to be around $14500 in North America.

And what we appreciate the most? With every new function and feature you discover, it is easy to see that all design and technology is user-centered. You are the center of the universe and B7 is just happens to be here to make your life more pleasant. These days when technology is around us, it is refreshing to see its correct use: it serves us, no the other way around.
