it is cheaper and faster if i get a B&O frame. plus you can't get better then B&O craftmanship.

there brush ali is the best i have ever seen and i can only picture in my head how good there gold would be.

i have never seen there TVs i gold here.

i wolud love to see one in Auction.

Peter close this thread, we are now into  putting a gold frame on a Panasonic, if anybody knows a forum for Panasonic please post it here and Hilton can go there, where he really belong. My short fuse is nearly igniting, and I may start out like Trip, with whoom I agree.

I am with TripEnglish (fake Rolex) and Soren Mexico (close the thread) on all counts. While this reminds me of when people put AMG on their standard Mercedes, or attempt an “upgrade” with their S430 by changing the badge to S600, at least they started with a Mercedes in the first place.

It is all starting to look dreadfully garish I must say , gold plated stuff just reeks of tackiness and poor taste imo.

Isn't the whole point of bno to disappear visually , be impressive without being obtrusive ? That's what David Lewis seems to think anyway.

Also anything that Stuart Hughes produces is as far as I've seen an abomination . Diamond studded iPads anyone ?  Yeeeeuck.

I have been reading this thread with great interest, I have a saying which applies to me in a way also! "champagne tastes, lemonade pockets"

I love B&O but only my beocom 6000 is new! everything is bargain price low, this I almost believe to be the problem that B&O is almost unaffordable for my lemonade pockets!  

After messing about getting the frame and having it plated(or not) fitting the panasonic in there you could have bought a nice smaller screen that is a B&O genuine screen so why not settle for a 42" or is bigger better??

So a mere reseller of a B&O product takes it personally when an individual that by his own admission will never be able to afford a BV4 ( therefore not taking from B&O sales in anyway) - just defies belief

beleave it or not but i have had 3 x BV 4 in the past.

i was happy with all of them i have owned the 50 and the 42" but i have sold them as i buy and sell B&O gear as a hobbie.

and right now i have around 9 Beovision all over the place most are CRTs BV1 ,BV3 BV avants DVD 28 & 32 ,MX4002, BV7 32, BV7 40 MX7000.

like someone wrote be4 that i own a lot of B&O items and i do.

i am a big collector of B&O and i have alot of there Beomics and also Love there Beovisons.

not a big fan of there beolab 4000, BL6000, BL8000, BL3500. which i have owened in the past.

I only love the pentas as i think they are vaule for money and they look sexy.

and you got to love the BL5, BL9, BL3 with sub.

basically i have owned most of the B&O range except the high ticket price product.

like i said i like my B&O products.

i want a gold 65" plasma i already have the panasonic like i said and a beosystem 2.

all i want to do to it is get a gold frame for it.

i wish that i could just go to a B&O store and buy myself a BV4 65. or the 85" but i cant i dont have that kind of money to spend on a tv.

im 25yo i work from home and try and make a living for the internet i dont make millions a year i just get by.

But why ??

For one thing - this is a HOBBYIST forum, for people who like the B&O brand ( in all aspects) ...this is NOT the official B&O website -where such draconian, holier-than-thou declarations would be more understandable - not because of any DK hubris, but because it is the "company line" that would (understandably) take priority.

But this is a fan site.  Lee(and others)  have previously re-coloured speakers and shown the mods here.  There are users here who make their own version of Beotimes, people who make their own version of cables, stands and who will "unoficially" use software to programme remotes.

All of which is fine....because that is what fan's do, and this is a fan site.

The OP may be doing something others find tacky, but there is no reason for personal abuse, closing threads etc etc.  The mock up shows what he is after - wouldn't be my choice, for sure, but this is a forum for users to discuss what they do with B&O.

There have been endless posts here about what people have done with old/discontinued/obsolete items...some of which have been modified.  Using an old Bsys 2 to drive a pana flat screen is hardly unheard of (some dealers supplied this combo, iirc, ) and sticking a B&O sourced bezel on it is hardly the work of a master forger.  

What about the iplayers built into various beosound/beocentres, or the removal of a vcr in an old avant to conceal a non B&O dvd.  Because a Bsys 2 is an old, obsolete item...should he just throw it away??   

There is an active thread on here speculating about how to build your own Beomedia - even with pictures of the (nonB&O) motherboard, and hints & tips as to how you can upgrade the spec, or use a 3rd party PC and a beolink-PC to somehow  "bodge" your own version.....even thoughts of buying the ML expansion port circuit board from B&O ( ) and using it in a multimedia PC.........is that really so far away from using a Bsys 2, a panasonic panel and a bezel to "bodge" your own MK1 BV4  ?

I've lost count of the people who assume my Beovision has SKY built in....because my B&O remote controls it, and it is hidden behind a B&O display....... Is the PUC system therefore a deception?  Lintronic exists to make your B&O remote (the visible bit) control non B&O stuff in such a way that it seems to be a B&O system.... so is this a con, or forgery.....no, but it isn't too much of a stretch to what the OP wants....its just unfortunate that his 3rd oarty item is the highly visible screen, and not an easy to hide away source or component.

A discusion forum is what it is - a forum for discusion.  The OP isn't setting up some illegal supply chain out of the far east to sell rip-off items on ebay or at car boots - so whilst I wouldn't personaly bother doing this, I just don't see the reason for the agression.

mate i have had 3 BV4 in the past.

and i was happy wih all of them.

i just cant buy a new BV4 65" its to much.

but i can buy a frame. i already have the plasma and a BS2 .

i have seen on here that someone putting on a panasonic plasma to an avants body and every one like .

yo thats cool how did you do this and that.

just like that dude.

a panasonic plasma with a B&O product that i have paid for and a frame.

the frame is hard to get but now i am able to get it in from denmark.

i dont care for all the haters out there cause im not trying to sell it as a B&O.

i will repost with some pics when im done with my mod.

Do whatever makes you happy, you are bound to get a bit of stick as this is a B&O forum and what you are doing is a "grey area"  

Good luck and post some pics

Cheers Nick
