Bang & Olufsen Intros New TV with Built-In Apple TV Slot

Bang & Olufsen, known for its speakers, just announced its first-ever TV, the BeoPlay V1. The LED-based (edge-lit) 1080p display is available in 32-inch and 40-inch models, and has some pretty cool features, such as a light sensor built onto the front that dynamically changes the display’s brightness and contrast ratio based on the conditions of the viewing environment. It has built-in audio (aimed at “liberating the viewing experience from the wall” by limiting wires), including Class D ICEpower amplifiers, and also has a slot for an Apple TV2 inside the connection panel on the back.

Other specs include five HDMI inputs and a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s also a colored sleeve you can slide behind the speaker grill to change the look of the TV (in gray, green, yellow, pink and black). It ships with the Beo4 remote, which Bang & Olufsen says can be easily used to control all your devices, as well as a floor stand. The 32″ and 40″ models list for €2,399 ($3,170) and €2,899 ($3,831), respectively.
