Beauty in every detail

Our eyes constantly adjust automatically to lighting conditions without us noticing. Bang & Olufsen’s Automatic Picture Control brings this to your television. A built-in sensor in BeoVision 11 measures the full 360 degrees of light around the room. This nerve center collects instant lighting data that allows the television to automatically adjusting colours, sharpness and contrast in the same way our brains adapt our eyes to changing light.

There's a huge difference between watching daytime news in a room flooded with light and cozying up in front of a movie in the dark. Bang & Olufsen television adapts seamlessly to these different conditions, constantly adjusting its image to avoid strain on the eyes. Even light reflected off white walls behind your BeoVision 11 is taken into account to ensure your optimal viewing pleasure.

At Bang & Olufsen, viewing pleasure is our ultimate focus. Our image engineers understand that true performance lies in the perfection of the finest detail. Through meticulous analysis of minute and complex interactions between eyes and brain they have optimised image contrast down to the very last pixel to achieve the ideal balance of shadow and light. From the very brightest star, to the deepest, darkest night, we make sure your eyes don’t miss a thing.

Images with little contrast are incredibly hard on eyes because our mind struggles to identify shapes and details. Adaptive Contrast uses incredible sensitive algorithms to enhance an image, revealing details in areas of the screen otherwise lost in darkness.

There are only two places in the world that produce glass to Bang & Olufsen’s exacting standards. This exceptional glass is then treated on both sides with anti-reflection coating to reduce unwanted reflections entering or leaving the screen. A subtle, dark tint further reduces any unwanted influences of light.

We are confident your eyes will light up the moment they experience a Bang & Olufsen screen in action. And, while they may not consciously notice the reduced reflections, an unmistakable impression will remain - that nothing was left to chance.

We treat and anodise the raw aluminum ourselves in virtually any shape or colour at our factory in Denmark, a demanding process that involves dipping each component in up to 50 different baths at exact temperatures.

Raw aluminum is incredible susceptible to even the smallest fingerprint which means we quality control and recycle a lot of parts before they're allowed to begin the treatment process.

The anodisation process preserves incredible colour and strength that barely feels the hand of time. You simply have to touch a Bang & Olufsen to sense the aluminum’s cool, irresistible strength.

In March 1978 Bang & Olufsen and then-head designer Jacob Jensen opened a special exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art, only the third time in the museum's history that a company's products were given their very own exhibition.

Today, fifteen Bang & Olufsen products are part of its permanent design collections. Striking examples that embody the museum's strict criteria for both quality and historical significance. Designs, in fact, that helped shape the twentieth century.

'Form follows function' is a Danish design mantra originally attributed to furniture designer Kaare Klint.

Bang & Olufsen design stems from this tradition, but our work in the 50’s and 60’s gave it a new twist - 'Form follows feelings' - a concept that remains contemporary, in our current collection and into the future.
