Hello!
I’m recently bought a used Beovision 5-42. Really like the design and sound! Wow! Using a ATV4 with HDMI/Scart converter. Works great.
I have read that some have replaced/upgraded the screen into full HD/4k.
Has anyone in here done that?
Basicly put a 42” tv Into the BV5 frame and use connections (HDMI) from that TV instead and connect output sound from that tv into BV5 speakers. Sounds easy I know.. 😂
He did it:

I am planning to do the same. Currently looking for a good 42" second hand donor.
Hi!
Yes, I have read that topic, impressive! I sent an email to him but that email wasn’t used anymore. Therefore I started this thread hopeing maybe someone else also had done this!
please let me know how you did it if manage this replacement!
Hi
Sure... Will keep you posted.
The plan is to connect the BV5 chassis VGA to the new TV. That will allow access to the BV5 native menu.
Connect RCA audio out of the new TV to all scart inputs of the BV5 chassis.
Control the new TV via Lintronic (Got that device already).
Pressing 'DTV' can then turn on the new TV and the BV5 chassis and pass the audio via e.g scart socket AV1.
That way I will maintain full Beo4 control and not loose any B&O look/feel and features (like stand operation).
Will keep you posted.... Hopefully I got some 'news' in a few weeks from now.
Thanks for the information!! I Don’t have VGA port on my BV5 thou.
Hi,
inside the BV5 there should be a VGA socket connecting the chassis (motherboard of the BV 5) to the Panasonic Plasma screen. You can't see it on the outside.
I have now bought/got the parts.
A second hand LG with DVB-T2 tuner (that's what I need)
A second hand Lintronics tt455-rt-238
And I've made a special cable which will send the audio from the LG TV to two of the BV5 scart sockets.
Total investment so far is approx. 100€
The Lintronic is programmed and tested. Next step is taking the BV5 apart and do the final prove-of-concept.
Hopefully this weekend.
Will keep you posted.
Wow! Nice! Looking forward to see the result! 😀 just some questions to get the hole picture, quite novice... :)
So the linktronic, as I understand this enable you to power on the speaker amplifier and/or reach the bv5 menu with beo4 remote?
Do you connect the linktronic VGA to the BV5 VGA or?
if so, how do you get to see the bv5 menu on the LG tv?
Why do you need to connect sound from LG to 2x scart? Why not just one?
In my case, I only want to power on/off the speaker amplifier and control volume with beo4.
sorry, but some pictures during the procedure would be reeeeallly appreciated!!
good luck!!
