Why not getting a BV4- 42? It should fit into the cabinet.

Simple to connect to the BS3 in 720p...

I have a Bv5-42 screen...... Is not this same as Bv4- 42? Has it some different connections? This is the very important question!!

Of course. My BV4- 42 has VGA and DVI connecions and a Serial connector to turn it on or off. This fits perfect for BS 2 or 3...

My Bv5-42 monitor, has Vga and Serial connections too. So, i think this is the same monitor. I can see pictures on monitor (so, Vga signal is ok) but i have problems on "serial connections" and monitor does not turn on and off and does not adjust brightness and other setting. I need to know serial cable wiring....... I see only 3 wires and i need to know how to connect these.

Beosystem3, works anyway, even without "monitor cable" connected. So, you are able to turn on and off Beosystem3 simply pressing Beo4 key.....

 "Monitor cable", is needed ro control a monitor turning it "on" and "off" and sending a "signal"  in order to "bright", "dim" and other functions. It has only 3 wires. But it seems not working at all with Bv5 monitor. So, i think some differences between Bv5monitor and Bv4monitor......... What is the difference?

The Beosystem 3 works well on pretty any computermonitor.

The Beovision 5 plasma monitor accept only RGB signals without VESA and doesn't accept hd signals, like 720P. 

The BS3 is always used with at least DVI, which has digital information and analog VGA (differ on version DVI).

So, the first question still remains, when the Beosystem 3 starts up, do you have a picture on the Beovision 5 plasma?

Then normally, advanced communication via the serial cable for active setting (brightness, colour, etc) can be done when the Beosystem 3 recognizes the attaches panel (in this the BV5, which will be not recognized). Normally the DVI input of the newer panels in your BV9 is used for this. During startup the BS3 gets information which resolutions can be used.

The VGA cable in the Beovision 5, which you removed, contains only RGB (or Component, I don't remember) video signal with horizontal and vertical synchronation signals.

Even in the older Beosystem 2 you needed to make the proper setting for which panel was used. They started with a D4 Panasonic panel. Which to my imagination will probably not function well with the Beosystem 3. The D6 pane; was the first panel you could put a DVI module in. That enhanced the possible resolutions, like the 576p, 1080i and 720p (in the D7).

I Have no problem with displaying pictures. As i said, I can see correctly pictureson monitor, but i am not able to turn it "on/off" and adjust brightness, contrast and luminance.

I think i have tryed every way to control Bv5 monitor, but it does not works. Maybe Bv5 screen is different from Bv4 screen..... It seems strange, but after trying everyway to do this, i think so........ I have use a "Panasonic remote" and monitor works well...... but connecting via rs232 to Beosystem3, it does not works at all...... It is not recognized, it does not turns on/off, it does not bright/dim. So, it seems not usable at all........

Hi

You also had a question about the link eye being disturbed by the plasma screen.

I had same issue. Some of the B&O Link eyes are not plasma protected. You will need another link eye.

I had an old BV5 as well. However, I decided to upgrade the panel to get HD picture, HD DVB tuner and HDMI connections

Hello.

Regarding "Ir eye", you are in right. I have used a "NON plasma protected", but now, i am able to use the original Beovision5 "Ir receiver". I have found the correct wiring.

After many and many hours spending trying to use Beovision5 original screen, i have decided to try using a non B&o monitor. Well, it is a disaster.......

The only 43 tv (able to fit into Bv5 cabinet) now are 4K. Connecting Beosystem3 Dvi out to Television Hdmi in (with a Dvi to Hdmi converter), i have imagine flashing and turning on/off  repeatly. I have tried to change many setting, but no luck.

Then, i have tried to connect Beosystem3 to a Panasonic Tv 4k via VGA (Dvi to Vga converter cable).

No picture at all......

Then, i have tried to connect Beosystem3 to Panasonic Tv 4k via "Dvi to Hdmi converter", -> "Active Hdmi converter to Vga" -> Television.

In this way, no problem, image is stable, no flash, but image "green"......... No way to set colours.....

I am becoming crazy........
