I bet it would look nice as a computer monitor

Hello Michael,

I kid you not. My kids do not like the idea of having a television in the home, they have a lot of  - IMO good - arguments against it. When we travel, of course they are glued to the TV of the hotel. This X-mas, they took possession of the huge TV set of my mother... to play with their new, the X-box

Happy new your to all the Antipodian BeoPhiles!

Be seing you

François

Hello Nicky,

I am just sitting in my living room, two meters from the screen and typing these words....

BTW, would you know how to connect a BV7 to a beomaster 9300 (with a TV/AUX) entry, so that I can hear the sound of my computer on the stereo?

Be seing you

François

Excellent! Could you possibly use an ipod to B&O lead from sounds heavenly into the aux socket of the hi-fi? I am sure someone will know if there is a better way!  

Glad to hear your enjoying it!

Cheers Nick

Either buy a B&O Cable 7pin DIN/JACK, 3m B&O Item # 6277956 for approx 12 EUR 
or order a similar one from Sounds Heavenly.  
An advantage is - Steve is offering these cables in different lenght from 1 to 10m.

From experience from one afternoon of trying to do this, the BV7-32 doesn't report its resolutions (via EDID) correctly.  Linux reports it as invalid, at least.  So I struggled to persuade it to accept the native resolution from my PC.

It also has other issues, meaning the TV won't even show anything during POST and bootup.

The DVI is a bit of an afterthought on these tvs - that much is evident.  If you want it done properly, you need to get something a bit more up to date with HDMI.

CSmager,

my latests experiences gives you right. Now, selling the BV7 and getting something newer is currently not an option. could I have any chance with a software update? Did you master the problem after all?

Be seing you
