in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2012 12:25[quote user="tournedos"] [quote user="Puncher"]IIRC the vertical dimension of a 28" 4:3 screen is greater than that of a 32" 16:9 screen - if so, watching on an Avant would make only make Daniel's problem worse![/quote] …
Beovision 6-26 V.s BeoCentre 6-26
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 3, 2012 13:43To add to this, the original Beovision 6-26 had a 15:9 screen and was not "HD-ready". The replacement, Beocentre 6-26, had a proper 16:9 screen, was "HD-ready" as standard ( DVI ), and could be fitted with a module of ch…

Anyone into slide rules?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2012 13:00I still have my slide rule that served me well right through to HNC. We used to call it a "guess stick" as the results could be far from accurate, and trying to decide where to place the decimal point in the answer could…

Beolit 12
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2011 13:44I still listen to FM and much prefer it to DAB from a sound quality point of view. I think B&O badly needs a "proper" quality portable radio, an updated Beolit 600 if you like. The BS3 is too small, and the BS1 was too b…
Unpacking Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2011 16:32Oh dear, I seem to have got caught up in all of this. This is my very last post on the issue(s). Can I say quite categorically that it was neither my intension nor my wish to be part of a vendetta or witchhunt. I do not …

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2011 12:39[quote user="Steffen"] Some people are easily offended. And then somebody wonders why there are wars in the world..? 😕👍 [/quote] Steffen, I can assure you I wasn't offended! My original posting (which was meant to be s…
The Unboxing Topic
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2011 13:42[quote user="KingOfSnake"] If anyone gets off on this I can offer a service with video and photo's of unboxing any B&O product you wish, chargeable of course :) [/quote] KingOfSnake I though this posting (and others on t…
The Unboxing Topic
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 3, 2011 11:16I quite like to see the picture threads, even of "unboxing". I don't know why the B&O resellers (excluding Lee of course) have to be so rude when posting on this forum, after all they could be upsetting potential custome…
BEOVISION 10 Setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2011 12:52I hope you don't get the wrong impression of this forum. Of all the forums I keep in touch with, Beoworld is by far the most sensible and civilised, with many posters receiving genuine help and advice with B&O related is…
MX4002 link aspect ratio problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 5, 2011 13:19Yes, the later MX4200 can handle a widescreen format, but displays it at the top of the screen with a thick black band underneath! This model has the modular chassis from the Beovision 1 and a flat 4:3 Panasonic 21inch t…
Avant 32 RF DVD - Picture Problems
in The Workbench · Mar 5, 2010 12:58Trevor, Welcome to Beoworld, and sorry that no one has replied to your post. I am sure that someone can help you. The tube will be a Philips and used in other sets, but I believe a B&O spare comes complete with delflecti…
Beovision8 Tuning Problem - Advice Please
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 16, 2010 13:25jimmcc09, I'm certainly no expert, but I have had to deal with several Freeview STB tuning problems following Digital Switchover. Have you ever received ITV3? This was one of the services moved to MuxA/SDN at the nationa…
Beovision8 Tuning Problem - Advice Please
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 15, 2010 06:32Jimmcc09, Are you able to view the other services on the same Freeview Multiplex as ITV3? Try Virgin1 on 20, Fiver on 30, and Five USA on 31. If you are receiving these ok then you should also be receiving ITV3 on 10. If…
Loewe and B&O: My dreadful experience
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2010 12:39Really sorry to hear of your experience. It can be really awful to buy a product and then find it does not come up to expectations. As far as a refund is concerned, I think you are entitled to a full reimbursement if the…
Beovision 3-32 coming: what should I know about it?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2010 12:14ipaul, I'll gladly watch a CRT tv as well as long as the tube is ok, but even though I would prefer to keep my Avant than buy a flat panel tv, if the tube fails I don't think I could justify paying B&O prices for a repla…
Beovision 3-32 coming: what should I know about it?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2009 12:40ipaul, Are you sure that these tubes are still being manufactured? I thought that the LG/Philips CRT partnership had gone bankrupt and the factory in the Czech Republic closed. Is there a tube of this type being manufact…
CRT vs LCD
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 29, 2009 12:38Soren, I also have a problem coming to terms with the "LCD Blur" on motion, and if my Avant was to fail I do not know what I would replace it with. The fact that you still preferred your Beovision 3 in a side by side tes…
