Hi everyone,
I have got an Eclipse MK1, bought in early 2020; the TV was turned off for 8 months because I moved to a new town, 2 weeks ago I moved the TV in the new home but now it has some troubles. The TV doesn't stay on, it powers off intermittently; in addition two vertical lines of pixels remains completely black. The soundcenter work correctly.
I brought the TV to B&O service; to restore the TV I have to replace the motherboard, for the switching off issue, an the panel, for the black pixels, for a total expense of 2400 €.
I'm evaluating whether to repair it or not, I'm thinking of buying a new oled LG tv.
In addition of the Eclipse I've got Beolab 8000 speakers, Beolab 2 sub, Beolab 3 speakers and a Beosound 35. If I buy the LG tv I would like to continue using the B&O speakers; is it possible to use the soundcenter as decoder between speakers and LG tv? Something like Beosound Theatre...
Otherwise what device do I need?
Thank you in advance.

I have read it is possible to add a later model 65” lg screen with different bracketry and modifying the eclipse aluminum slightly .
i will look at mine this weekend for a reminder , but i believe only hdmi and 1 rj45 connect to the screen , so in theory it could be used with any size/brand screen .
i have a spare Vizio tv i can try this with .

In my opinion, you should not fix it. There are many better TVs out there these days and at reasonable prices. If you want entertainment, you don't need to use TV, you can listen to free phone ringtones on
Given the number of people on the site who've developed beolink related products (eg MasterDataTool) and also the frustrations with Beocore. I often wonder if they've missed a trick by not extracting modules from the B&O TV sets - these units typically have great sound and connectivity options, but screens that get quickly out of date or become uneconomic to repair.
