Beovision 8900 was a 26″ colour television which offered A2 stereo sound (NICAM was not offered). It was Bang & Olufsen’s first stereophonic TV.

Fitted with the Video Terminal remote control its amplifier provided 2 x 15 watts through its log line loudspeakers system where a 10cm woofer and a 5cm tweeter were fitted.

The screen was a 30AX in-line self-converging CRT and the set included an optional Teletext decoder. Likewise the A/V interface was sold as a separate option.

Looking very similar to the Beovision 8902 it was this particular model which superceded it.
