We have a Beo 50" Plasma Screen Type 8973.

Beo System 2 Type 9422.

Penta Lab Speakers ,4 Of Type 6632.

My question is we think our screens on its way out. Can I use say a LG screen with my B&O system??? Or choose any other screen as we would not be able to afford a B&O screen now. I t would be a shame to sell off our  B&O equipment as it is so good and the speakers take some wellie!!!!! and I do like my music Mega High.

You can get a Beosystem 4 which is essentially a B&O telly without the screen, then use any screen you wish with that.

I have a BeoRemoteOne controlling a Sony TV but it's not perfect as I have to press one of the MyButtons I've setup to put it in 'CONTROLS' mode first (as the BeoLink Gateway can only pickup LIGHT or CONTROL commands from a B&O remote, not commands intended directly for a B&O product).

Still, I've got used to pressing this button first and my setup is ordered like this...

BEOREMOTEONE ... IR EYE CONNECTED TO ESSENCE MKII ... BLGW ... ITACH IP-IR ... SONY TV

It means the one remote in my living room also then can be used to control the music through the essence.

From what I've read a better way may be to have a Lintronic box receiving B&O commands and sending them to your 3rd party screen though. 😎

If the BeoSystem 2 is in the US, it won't work unless you are looking at your own PAL content that you brought with you.
