BEO4 Picture Mute & Beovision 8-40

Hello all,

Does anyone know if the Picture Mute function completely turns off a Beovision screen?

or does it just make the screen black? (with backlit working in the background)

Thank you in advance!

 

 

 

 

Only turns screen to gray !

It is instantaneous in both directions.

No closing curtains, and no warm up.

It’s a very dark gray because it is black without being off !

Thanks Elephant!

Then Picture Mute function doesn't do what I hope it would (save of screen life and heat production during summer)

Thx elephant, you saved me from purchasing a Beo4 mk3 to replace my older Beo4 :)

No p.Mute in your Add to List ?

That sucks.

Nop, my Beo4 MK2 does not provide P.Mute in Add to List. Oh well, no biggy since it doesn't turn screen completely off anyway.. 

Back in the days with Beolink 1000 & MX7000 it was "picture" and "mute" -  something like this must also be at beo4 mk2 and mk1

Hi, I think you’ll find after a ‘while’ it goes completely black and off. I use this function regularly as I listen to music through an Apple TV.

Initially when I chance volume or speaker type this displays in the top middle but after a while, when screen completely black and off nothing is displayed at all when changing volume

I can confirm on my BV8-40 : at first it turns the screen black (backlight stays on, and infos like volume appear on screen). Then after 1min the backlighting turns off and the screen is completely dark. I use this in a cinema setup.

Yes, that is how it is!
