Hi Graham 60,

If you do not care about the higher resolution of the new panel and are happy with the BS3's HD signal*, the only thing you need to do is to get a cable between the BS3 (either DVI or HDMI, depends on the model) to an HDMI in of the new TV.

Set the new TV to that HDMI input port and you will see the video that the BS3 produces. You will have to switch on/off the new TV with the new TV's remote (unless the TV has some auto sensing that reacts to the signal coming from the BS3). Turn the speakers in the new TV off (in the menu of the new TV) as the audio is managed within the BS3. Maybe you will have to tell the BS3 (in the menu) that it is connected to a non B&O TV.

I am not sure about the IR receiver: does your system have a separate round IR receiver or does the BV-4 panel have this built in (as a black little dome top right)? If the latter is the case, you will need to get an external IR receiver.

It will take a bit of effort and trial, but it can be done. I am sure some people here can help.

Regards,

Johan

* most of the threads you will find on the forum are about people wanting to use the 4K capabilities of the modern TV, and use the BS3 as a sound hub only

The system works off the B&O "IR EYE" (wall mounted) and goes to the multipin IR connection on the BS3

On a 55” tv there is no need for a 4K signal.

 

You cannot see the difference between a 4K and Full HD panel. (Unless you have trained your eye to do so)

Depends on the viewing distance.

I can see a difference because I am close to the TV.

You can use the Beosystem with any Screen - Just use the 4K content natively and run a sound out to the Beosystem. 

Works here with BeoSystem 3 and BeoSystem 4.

You need a Lintronic device if you want to use a Beo 4 only.

But you can see HDR/Dolby Vision 

I could do with a very detailed explanation on how to do it as I haven't got a clue as to what cables or boxes (Lintron) or other needed, also I wouldn't know where to start if the Beo5 needs programming.

I think I need a "wiz kid" to come and do it for me,

Any volunteers out there ££££££££

It will be a bit technical setup, and I am not sure it will be a good one.

Have you considered a Beovision Eclipse instead?

The problem with the Eclipse is the price tag, plus I don't really care for the look of it and at the end of the day it's an LG TV, I've looked at the Sony Bravia (LG Screen) XR55 A90J and the speakers set behind the panel are a brilliant idea, at least with that concept voices appear to come from the persons lips and not from speakers some 40cm away (bigger the screen bigger the problem)

All I want to do is upgrade to a 55" up to date TV as 55" will fit (width wise within a couple of mm) with the BL 7.2  and I can retain my motorised wall bracket

just need help or someone to link it all together
