How do I find out the MK of a TV?

Thanks BeoGreg - very hand!

Easy is relative :) - what does easy/difficult access on the back look like in the case of the beovision 11?

thanks again - last question on this topic!

 

Hi,

Lee is right, feel free to email me the serial number and I will verify the age.

On the Mk4 BV11's there is no small click out panel for easy access to USB / and audio ports. This panel is located on the back, center, behind the top edge of the frame on Mk3 and below. On the Mk4. There is no easy access panel, there is no panel at all. 

My Beolit 15 as serial number 24xxxx.

Here's a pic (bad taken right now on the dark) of back panel on top of tv.

Ok, thank you.  They must have started to use 24 for many years then as mine doesn't appear to have the easy access panel.  Thank you again.

Back in the days when B&O were selling lots of products the 'one year, new double-digit serial prefix' model worked.

However, since around 2010 they haven't sold as much but kept to the rolling serial number model - so it's taken them longer to 'fill up' the serial number run, which has seen say 22****** and 23****** take up 14-18 months as opposed to the old 12 month cycle.

Numbers are starting to churn again now though, thanks mainly to the Play products - and things should start to return to normality on the serial number front!

Sold to retailer (Dealer) in June 2007.

She's an old girl - a Mk1 720p, so not even Full HD.

Still a lovely TV though 🙂
