Topic: Lg tv beovision contour
Hi all,
As we have recently seen how to upgrade the LG TV on old beovision eclipse series, I am wondering if it is also possible to upgrade the LG tv on first beovision contour series? Is there any problem to attach the screen? Also with the software?
thanks
I can not find a service manual for the Eclipse on BeoWorld, does somebody know how to obtain a copy.
I have had a Beovision Eclipse Mk 3 for 3 years and following some advice from MM have had no problems playing Masterlink sources on the Eclipse and Eclipse sources on Masterlink products. Have since added a Beosound Core which has also linked in well.
The only unusual feature is that the Masterlink products show up as link products with the Core but don’t show at all for the Eclipse. Though pressing Radio, on a Beo4, would play the radio on the Eclipse.
That has now stopped. I cannot now play any Masterlink on either the Eclipse or the Core but can play Eclipse and Core sources on Masterlink products.
Edit – forgot to say that the Masterlink source is switched on and controlled from the NL product and the source name can still be seen on the Eclipse screen, just no sound.
Anyone know what has happened?
Thanks in advance Paul
Beosystem 7000 -> Beolink/ML Converter -> NL/ML Converter -> into my NL products.
Hello everyone. I previously posted about this setup with the eclipse and I ended up getting rid of the eclipse. It had its own set of issues but it was able to properly filter the bass between the 28s and 19.
I Figured the core and transmitter could do the same since it seems pretty simple and both the app and the sub itself have filtering on it.
the setup plays but it sounds nothing like it did when the eclipse was controlling it. The bass feels empty and off in some way.
here’s the thing, if I have the filter set to off on the sub, and set to 20hz in the app, play a 40hz tone, the sub still plays. So it would seem the app filtering isn’t working.
if I set the filter on the sub to on, and set it to 40hz, then play a 50hz tone, again the sub still plays something.
I have no idea what is going on, and of course bang and olufsen tech support can’t help. Does anyone here have any experience getting the filtering on the core or the 19 to work? Not sure if I should post this in the core section…
In 2023, I had the opportunity to get an Eclipse MKI, which I thought was in perfect condition. Arrived to my home, I discovered that the panel was broken.I did know that the special Oled 55C7BO was expensive to get for an outdated technology. My dealer confirmed that with a €2600 quote. (at this time, a brand new 55C3 was only €1600).Then, I thought a bit about the fact that the new Eclipse are working with a software that is easy to get from the LG store, and that the connectivity of the newer MKIII Eclipse were the same that mine (Ethernet + HDMI), so I thought that with a bit of chance, my MKI could work with the new LG software, as it seemed that my Eclipse was, like the new ones, a HDMI ARC soundbar with a control over ethernet.I discussed about that with my dealer, who contacted B&O to ask if it was possible.The answer from B&O product manager in Denmark was a clear “NO”, as for him the MKI Eclipse didn’t support HDMI ARC.I doubted about that, and I just thought that the current product manager has no idea what was inside the MKI, because he might not be at this job for long, and never worked on MKI.Fortunately, my dealer is multi brand and sells LG. So I asked him if I could connect my sound center to one of his LG C3 panels, which he allowed me to do, interested to see the result.So I went to my dealer with my sound center AND motorized stand. Connected his LG C3 where he already installed the B&O app… And saw that everything was working! So I ordered him a LG 55C3.I then had to adapt the panel to the Soundcenter, as the old panel stand from MKI wasn’t adapted to the new LG. So I made a DiY stand with 2 metal brackets and a bit of wood (see picture). Overall cost: around €10.Since then, everything was working, except the MyButtons, which didn’t work at all. That was not a big issue as I still have the MKI Beoremote One: there is only one MyButton and Netflix+amazon buttons were working (but the remote is ugly with those buttons 😀).
Seeing the nice result, my dealer already retrofitted one customer with a homemade bracket.
If you’re a Beoworld follower, you may have heard about that from this topic : https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/eclipse-mki-with-lg-c3-oled/
I then saw the Facebook post of Ariel, a dealer in Israel who was asking if he could switch the panel of one of his customers to a standard C4. So I explained him everything in MP, as I didn’t want B&O to be upset… His installer made a better job than me (picture).But as a dealer, he knows people… And talked about that to STB Brackets, who started working on a very nice adapter, with covers to make everything very clean.So now, in may 2025, it’s officially available: the STB Bracket Eclipse MKI to LG C4/C5 adapter!! 🥳

But there is more ! STB worked with B&O, and now, there is a special “Retrofited Eclipse” software, which makes the MyButtons completely functional!!! And even more : with this software, the Eclipse MKI is displaying the source on the top of the screen in audio mode, as with MKIII and Harmony (and visuals in Radio and Deezer modes). That thing may damage your screen as it’s fixed display on OLED, but now you can replace it at LG cost, and not B&O cost 😆double post, moderator please delete!

Hi, anyone consider upgrading their C7 OLED panel on the Mk1 Eclipse using the new adapter from STBbrackets?
Our 2018 65″ Eclipse is suffering from burn-ins, and I consider ordering this adapter.Hello BeoWorld,
Wondering if there are any recommendations out there for a Music Streamer which is Qobuz compatible and can be connected to a 1st Generation BeoVision Eclipse?
All recommendations and stereo diagram setups welcome!
Just been updated to Webos TV 23, took a couple of restarts to get everything sorted but all ok now. Originally was only getting sound via HDMI from the Sound center but the second restart fixed that
