Avant 85" - different types.

7 replies
Hi all, I am looking at 3x different types of the Avant 85" TV - does anyone know the difference?
  1. Type 8870 (1860500)
  2. Type 8686 (1860408)
  3. Type 9687 (1857408)
Many thanks,
Type number 8686 and 9687 are the same UK product. I don't know what Type 8870 is, but it is not an AVANT 85

Do you know the differences between the 8686 & 9687? Attached is the sticker off the back of the type 8870.
Wrong photo - try this one :)
The sticker images in each posting you made look the same to me... The type 8870 must I assume be a later version..

That is what I tink (it's a later version) - do you know where I can see what the differences between the 3x versions are?
Beovision Avant was released in 2014 I believe the 85" version came end of 2014 ... Maybe a bit later. The NG (New Generation) came in 2016. As you picture says NG - Type 8870 must be the New Generation type. The NG runs on same platform as Beovision 14 i.e. Android TV. The NG works with BeoRemote 1 BT (Bluetooth instead of IR) If I google 'Beovision Avant label' I see that  type 8679 is first generation. Hope this information helps a bit.
