Beovision Eclipse MKI with new LG screen, a journey

Sorry for the post formatting, everything is going mad when I add images... And when I edit, it's marked as spam...
Had the same problem earlier myself with the formatting.
I had a similar problem from the otherside - selling a (unknown to me) burnt-in Eclipse 65. Had to do a deal with the Dealer to keep everything on the level.
On one hand...Im happy that I moved from an Eclipse to a Theatre and took the panel (obsolesce - for now or future fault/burn-in) out of the Ownership equation. Even back in late 2022 IIRC, the Theatre was getting up there price-wise and I almost thought the Eclipse was my last Beovision?
Back to the Post. Glad that went well. I have heard anecdotal stories that Dealers can take other panels (oh, and B&O did have some original panels to cover warranty issues only) and graft them on. From what I loosely heard, its more about retro-fitting the C7 for a C9 or CX into the case more than anything else?? Maybe.
This is where B&O really need to pull up their socks. Its history know and Buyer beware but at the time the C7 was a problem panel and B&O knew it. They did very little to warn people, recall or even collaborate on revised software as far as I can ascertain? The STB solution is not cheap but I guess it can get you up and running and not trashing a perfectly good soundbar and stand?
More importantly, this Cradle to Cradle business is less about the Customer having endless repairs on their products I fear....and more about 100% recyclability at the local dump? Im sure we will see when a few PCBs or drivers give-up and there are no spares left (again). Just sign-up for the latest $30k soundbar and swallow it as the cost of doing business?
Formatting should be resolved, we didn't know it was happening.
Spam is still being looked into - please keep letting us know if something goes into spam or anything unexpected happens.

@Multicare: thank you, it was a pain to have my topic online, but now everything is fine!
Thank you for the work and sharing.
What a nice move from STB and Bang & Olufsen to provide everything necessary for that change! Not many companies will do that.
