Hi,
i have upgraded a Beovision 5 to Full HD LED earlier. That TV is still going strong and we really enjoy watching TV on this iconic design.

The panel in our old MK1 Beovision 7-32 had really started to degrade so I thought... why not upgrade this beautiful TV set with a new(er) Full HD LED TV ?
It is now done.
I had a Lintronic HW 5.1 laying around so I only needed a proper TV with volume controlled headphone socket (for the BL 7.1).
I got a JVC LT-32e54b for 30€ (!).
You can see the process... and result below.

If none of the cabinet structural parts are removed/modified there is room for a TV with a depth of maximum 50-52 mm.

A bit of housekeeping and cable management is remaining ...
The 7-32 can now stay in service for many years to come ...

Amazing upgrade!
What is the original TV/panel that was present inside the "chassis"?
As I remember B&O used Samsung panels in their BV7 lineup. In this case a HD panel from 2004/2005.
Thanks for sharing - a great modification. Any plans to make the stand work, or does it already?

My B&O Icons:
In this upgrade I sacrificed the DVD player (never used), the curtains (wasn't available for DVI input anyhow), and the stand. I can't build a controller myself and I don't want to spend the money for the product mentioned in the link above.
I am really happy with the result, low budget upgrade, hassle free HDMI connectivity and still keeping the Bang & Olufsen look/feel with Beo4 operation.
In another room I've got a BV40 stand and BL7-2 with a Sony Bravia 55" on top operated via Beo4/Lintronic.
But honestly I'm considering doing the same modification of the Beovision 7-40 monitor (still here) as I feel you really loose some of the 'class' by just putting a plastic TV on top of the stand....
This is a really great job, also the BeoV5, which you posted already 2 years ago. I like these ideas and posts about them here in this forum!
Hi Ravsted, great job!
May you share some more pictures how did you remove the Glass and Panel ?
Is it possible to leave all audio part in working condition with a new screen? A bit more detailed process expalantion as you've done for your previous(brilliant!) project.
I own Beovision 7-55, and it might be a great potential upgrade for OLED=)
