B&O BeoVision Avant 4K TV

15.05.2014

Bang & Olufsen has unveiled the premium BeoVision Avant 4K TV, featuring a range of unique features and proprietary technologies.

The panel has a diagonal of 55 inches. As the name implies, it corresponds to the 4K (Ultra HD) format: the resolution is 3840x2160 pixels. The manufacturer notes that the TV is able to muffle the distracting glare on the screen by more than 98% thanks to the high-quality anti-reflective coating on the front and rear surfaces of the two-layer reinforced glass. BeoVision Avant's adaptive mode constantly adjusts the picture automatically, but the viewer can choose from special settings to optimize the visual experience of games, movies or multimedia content.

The novelty implements adaptive sensitivity technology with two sensors. The main sensor measures the light intensity in front of the panel, while the secondary sensor measures the light and its hue behind the screen. BeoVision Avant continually adjusts the white balance based on the data it receives to ensure optimal picture quality with bright and saturated colors.

The high-quality three-channel speaker system deserves special attention. It includes three dedicated tweeters, three midranges and two powerful woofers. Additionally, you can connect two front speakers, a subwoofer and two rear speakers. Or BeoVision Avant can replace the two additional front speakers by reassigning its own speakers to dedicated right, left and center channels.

Various types of stands are available for the TV. For example, the motorized floor stand allows the panel to rotate 90 degrees away from the wall for optimal viewing angles. The motorized wall mount allows you to silently rotate your TV up to 60 degrees from its original position. The desktop stand allows the panel to tilt back slightly, which "gives the impression of the screen floating above the table" and hides the stand itself from view. The TV turns on when placed in a vertical position while opening the speakers below the screen.

Low frequency optimization technology is also mentioned. The designer says that the distance from the speaker to the nearest wall drastically affects the depth and strength of the bass output. To counteract this effect, when the TV is mounted on a motorized wall bracket, technology is used to continuously adjust the speaker's bass output according to its position relative to the wall.

The BeoVision Avant 4K is already on sale and is priced at approximately US$8000.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The use of graphene will become even more efficient 19.12.2013

The material graphene, which is a flat two-dimensional structure of carbon atoms, is promising for many applications. But in order to be able to use it, it is necessary to carry out doping, that is, the introduction of impurities in order to modulate the electrical properties of the material, or other processing. Alloying can be an expensive and difficult process. But a group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California at Berkeley have managed to develop a simple and relatively inexpensive processing method that can unlock the potential of graphene.

This new method is described in an article published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Chemistry. Scientists have long been interested in the possible applications of graphene in solar cells, thermoelectric devices, water filtration devices, and a host of other applications. Pure graphene lacks some of the properties that semiconductor devices require. But adding oxygen atoms adds these properties, the researchers say.

Existing methods do not allow a predictable distribution of oxygen atoms along the surface of graphene. In addition, they provide for the use of aggressive chemicals or a temperature regime of 700-900 degrees Celsius. The new approach makes it possible to improve graphene using low temperatures of the order of only 50-80 degrees Celsius. There is no need for chemical additives. Scientists attribute flexible scalability to the advantages of their method, which is important for commercial applications.

The low-temperature annealing process changes the distribution of oxygen atoms without changing the overall structure of graphene. The electrical resistance of the material in this case can be reduced by 4-5 times. It is interesting that with this method it is possible to obtain separate regions of pure graphene in the material structure between regions with oxygen atoms, which have the properties of so-called "quantum dots" (they can be used in highly efficient light emitters). Separately, a high ability to absorb light is noted. Compared to traditional untreated graphene oxide, the new method creates a material with a 38% improvement in photon absorption efficiency.

According to scientists, their method will open up many useful applications for graphene.
