Hi,
I had a BV6-26 I didn't use. Tried to sell it ... but there is really no market for those anymore. So I decided to use parts from it to create a PC monitor.
Saved the speakers and the IR receiver for later use. Removed the contrast screen and the aluminium frame.
Had to fix the area where IR receiver used to be.
Cleaned the contrast screen and put on a piece of black tape.
The result.
If anyone is interested... this is how the TV looks inside.
3D printed some brackets to support the aluminium frame.
Perfect fit. Glued in place.
Created a wood frame to fill the gap between contrast screen and aluminium frame. Oak... painted black.
The picture format of the early BV6-26 was 26" 15:9
The height is a perfect match with a 27" 16:9 monitor
In the control panel of the graphic card I can adjust overscan left/right to have a perfect match with the contrast screen.
Cool project!
Could you please provide a picture from the front, and maybe how it looks on a desk?

A picture of the desk as requested.
I put the contrast screen on top of my iMac which will be replaced with a PC + monitor + contrast screen soon.
