Anyone use BV6 as computer monitor

17 replies

Hi guys,

 

Any of you use the BV6 26" as your computer monitor? Any big pro's and cons?

 

Thinking of making it my home computer monitor for use as an external display with my MBP...

 

The sound will obviously be a big +!

 

I know the resolution isn't exactly top-notch nowadays.

 

I got it cheap with the table stand, immaculate condition with not a mark on it, so couldn't refuse. 

If you have it, I would definitely use it.

I think it looks mickey mouse as a computer monitor.  They use to use them in B&O stores as monitors.

I use BV6/22 as computer monitor and already at the size of 22" the resolution is too low for this screen size. Pro: looks and sound :-)

Be also carefull if using Win8, the minimum resolution is 1024x768 - the BV6/22 does only support 720p, so Win8 refuses to work properly :-(

But I think BV6/26 does support 1366x768

It will be used with OSX. 

I do, on a Mac Mini.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, would i do it again seeing the hi-res quality of mac screens: no.

Also picture quality of th BV6 is that good (sometimes dark) and in one of the settings (which I use now) I have two green lines on both sides. Sound of course an the av function (connected to the BS5) are superb.

But in my office I have my vintage BS7000 (depending connected alternately to either BL 9, BL8000 or BL6000) which i use most of the time.

I'll try to post some pictures
