Hi there

Need some help with the following dilemma! 

I am considering purchasing a Beovision 7-40 to replace my Panasonic full HD plasma 42”. I am wondering if this would be a wise choice to make?  

Picture quality on the Beovision should be even better than the Panasonic? 

This Beovision is a Mk1, if i connect sky Q to it would the picture then be in 1080P has anyone else tried this?  Would you notice the difference if not full HD?

I currently have a Beosound 2300 which is connected to a pr of Beolab 8000 Mkii, but the unit hasnt got a masterlink port?  How can I connect tv and system together?  

Many thanks

Hi,

 

get a Beolink Converter 1611 to connect the BS2300 to Masterlink. Nothing has to be programmed. The converter is auto configuring itself according to the connected devices, when you first apply power to the TV, wait a minute, apply power to the BS2300, again wait a minute and finally apply power to the 1611.

Panasonic would probably still provide a better image, B&O better sound by far though

 

MK1 7-40 may not display HD images correctly. Best to hunt around for a MK3 then you get the advantages of a full HD panel and Hdmi
