Hi guys,
I obtained a Beovision 7-40 Mk4 quite a while ago and its had an issue i have not got around to fixing.
The LCD panel displays picture fairly well, but there is a red blur that is on the screen, its not in a fixed location, it moves with the picture and there can be more red depending on image displayed
I'm not sure if this is a common issue? or if the issue is relating to the LCD panel or a PCB. if it could be the panel, does anyone know which televisions used the same panel, i think it is a Samsung Panel?
if i could find the same samsung tv, i'm sure it would be cheap enough to sacrifice to use the LCD in the BV7
If anyone has any hints/tips let me know. apparently parts are no longer supplied by B&O for this.
If you've definitely got a Mk4 and you have the red hue it's 99.99% the panel. I've had a few go on me - all Mk4's.
No spare panels left - and I've not heard of anyone dropping a generic Samsung in there.... For a little while B&O were giving BV10 panels which could be fitted with a little jiggery-pokery, but this stopped when the BV11 came out.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the response,
I have a spare mk3 panel i could use as a donor, but then again not sure if they are compatible?
Different refresh rate sadly, so no - it won't work. The chassis and panel will be at odds with each other as the BV7-40 Mk3 is 50hz (60hz with a software update) and the BV7-40 Mk4 is 100hz.. They won't 'talk' to each other properly.
Thanks Lee,
at least i know now..
Such a shame...
On the plus side you can (I'm pretty sure) take the Blu-Ray drive out of the Mk4 and fit it into a Mk3. I think it involves a SW update to the Mk3, but at least you can take a positive from the busted Mk4....
