Dear Forum. I am looking into buying a Beoplay V1 32 or maybe 40 to get rid of the old (but good) masterlinksystem and using the wireless networklink.
I have heard that there may be a problem with the motherboard or something on the early models. Is that right? Something that mades the tv goes black and may be very expensive to repair?
Thank you in advance! :)
No one knows to Beoplay V1?
I do have jeard about a V1 (40 I think) that had a problem with a leaking component that may course problems with the board.
My V1-32 runs steady since 2014.
If you want one, buy it from a dealer - buying private is at your own risk.....although I reckon that that risk is small.
A great tv for integrating NL in the setup.
But consider NL need at least two NL devices (respectively a converter).
And don’t forget to get the wifi dongle - there is no built-in wifi in the V1.

I havent had a V1-32 with any issues in the past, and the one i bought with issues, seems to rectify itself before i tested it, still going strong!
Components are hard to get for them already.
I Believe the Wifi still works without the dongle, but if you ever need one, I have spares
Overall a great TV for current prices. FullHD, Hmdi, HD tuner
Precisely, I have also heard about something with the board. Is it only at the 40 inch?
I should be together with a BV11 - can I take the sound from the radio, tv or hdmi and hear on the V1?
No wifi??? That is too bad - thought is was the same as the BV11, just the entrylevel television.
And I always buy private, dealers are too expensive! ;-)

Both are NL enabled - with the right settings, it will certainly work.
But the V1 has Netradio built-in too.
As for wifi - look here:

There’s generally a good reason for this. I took a call from someone that had purchased a Beolit 15 via eBay and it was dead, because of the private purchase he had no come back and no proof of purchase for a warranty claim. The original purchase is the only one under contract that is covered by the manufacturers warranty for the stated period.And I always buy private, dealers are too expensive! ;-)

Thank you for all the feedback.
Maybe I will go for the 40 inch, they are often cheaper, because there are more 40 inch on sale then 32 inch. Also you tell that 40 inch has a far better sound.
It would be nice if it had the new german DVB-T2 HEVC 265 standard – but I don’t think even the Ecplise or Horizon have that. But I will use it mainly for cable or maybe satellite – is it possible to find one with satellite tuner? I will only use it with broadcast tv or with my Macbook.
I don’t need to game on it – but I suppose it is the same as the BV11? That is ok in game mode. 4K would be nice, but it don’t matter that much, as there are no tv-stations (on a very few worldwide) that supports 4K.
All B&Os televisions are heavy, so no problem. ;-)
Well I think it will be a little nice project to find a Beoplay V1 to the right price
I love the beo4 last edition with the joystick. Love the fact that I have been with B&O since the early 90’s. I have not tried the Beomote one yet, but I don’t think it is B&O-like – more Samsung. But maybe I chance my mind if I try one. ;-)
I will get back when I have found one ;)
