Hello there,

already posted this under the eBay section;no answers so i try here hoping to have more success :)

So, i'm from Italy; i love B&O and iconic electronic objects since my teen years (Loewe,Brionvega, B&O of course) !

Just days ago i won this auction, from the gentlemans of Lifestyle AV (i know Lee is here on the forum;is Matt here too?)

Well, to be totally honest my real target was the Beocenter 6-23

But you know how eBay is, i was outbid by 0.50 £ or such

Well, i just would like to make a couple of questions,since i'm new on the B&O world:first,  are Video use 998 days; On/Off 11860 times. good values or means the the TV was used daily ? I just don't know how to interpret those numbers.

I know that the TV is 7 years old, but what does means 998 days of use?  On another thread i read that it should be 998 * 24 hours -> 23.

952 hours total fro the LCD panel ?

Btu my real question is: is there  so much difference between 6-22 and Beocenter 6-23? DAB Radio sure, but LCD-wise?

I know that the Samsung panel of the 6-22 was not so great (poor viewing angle, Contrast ratio  500:1 (min. 400:1 at center of the screen); infact the 6-26 was fitted with a Sharp panel.

But with my surprise, the Beocenter 6-23 screen (btw, who is the producer? Samsung? Sharp? ) seems to be not so better (3 years between the 2 products) , with only 800:1 contrast.

Loudspeakers are identical (bass reflex);exterior-wise for sure Beocenter is better (the grille,the color)...but i wanna know: are the tto products so different speaking of LCD;or are only slightly different? Of course i don't care about 22" or 23" difference, i'm just speaking about quality !

Any owners that can make a comparison between the two?

Long life to B&O !
