Hello,
is it ossible to use Beosystem 2 or 3 with a non B&O display, e.g. connect an ordinary Samsung LED?
The reason would be to use it sort of like a receiver for the surround speakers (BL8000 + BL6000)

i dont see why not as long as the samsung has a vga input, also you would benefit from getting the hd version of the beosystem 2/3.
I have an opportunity to get a Beosystem 2. Is it really sure that it cn be connected to any non B&O display. Hard to find info about it but saw somewhere that people said that you could only use Panasonic displays.
Does anyone have any experience from this?
Please search on the archived forum....

Basically any VGA enabled display can be used, but you do need to short a couple of wires on the serial port cable. Once you have done this, you can bring up the menus and set up a stb(V.AUX) to take a second input (like hdmi) from a STB.
