Morning all

the title says it all really, the version on Beovision is late 7-32, with HDMI sockets and no DVD

The questions, if it's the chassis, and it's going to be over £1k to repair, which I cannot afford, what should I replace it with, my thoughts are a second hand 7-32 screen from the inter web or would a 7-40 fit the same stand ? It's a motorised stand and the speaker is a 7.4, so to replace it wil have to be a 7 series really. 

Which version of the 7-40 did a really big picture upgrade occur? Was it mark 3 ?? 

I realise the later the version the better, but I recall a fairly big upgrade in mark 3. 

Advice appreciated ! 

Andy

The stands are different, and the bracket for the Beolab 7.4 won't work on a 7-40 stand. The 7-32 stand is a single pole, the 7-40 stand has two poles.

MK4. The MK4was a huge upgrade over the MK3, which was the first 1080P panel and very dark. I had a MK3 for a while, then two MK4's.

Hmm, ok, so it will have to be a 32 if I get a replacement then! Oh yes, I also have a mini mac connected as well as sky and a blue ray player !
