happy Friday to you all.

does anyone know when (date) HDMI connection was fitted as standard to BeoCenter 6-26, as I've seen a few advertised as such. Thinking about using this in my spare room so I can hook up an Apple TV as prices look good.

When the name changed back from BeoCenter 6-26 to BeoVision 6-26. Can't tell you the exact date, but if you are able to find one, go ahead. It's a timeless piece of art. I have a Beocenter 6-23 and a HDMI Beovision 6-26 as well. The picture on the Beovision 6-26 it's way better.

I'd love one of these, and I always thought it was a shame they didn't make a 32 inch one.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

I have a 23" in kitchen,  picture and sound excellent,and two 26" versions in bedrooms, both with apple tv 3 connected through dvi for picture and sound sent through external dac,sound is great.

Hdmi version just gives you a bit more convenience,regarding connections, no difference picture wise,but big difference in price buying used.

Presume it would also give you the ability to watch hdcp content? I had a WD TV connected to DVI on my BV6-26.  It worked very well but I had to revert to SCART once I started using Netflix, due to the content all having hdcp.

really looks good in red Chris and agree 32" would have been nirvana for me and I just want to maximise the 26's flexibility with HDMI.....

Our 23 on the landing is a great radio and looks great as you can admire the wall bracket as you come up the stairs! 

The sound is very good , benefiting from being mounted to the stud wall . Great TV . A B&O product that looks good in 360 degrees of viewing , more than the new Avant I'd venture to say. 

Beo Century ,Beoplay V1, Beocenter 6, Ex-Beolit 12, Beotime , A8. Beolit 15 , Form 2i , Beolab 2000, Beoplay A3.Beosound 1

No beocenter 6-26 dvi is hd co compliant the older bv6-26 only had dvi for pc unless it had hd upgrade.

All beocenter 6-26 are hd ready from factory as has component and dvi and like I said I have mine connected to Apple tv 3 and watch netflix all the time.

It annoys me that people list bv6-26 on ebay as hd,when most of them are not,like yours if you had to revert to scart.
