    Beovision MX4200

    My old MX3500 has failed, now I consider the purchase of  a used MX4200, the latest of these magnificent TV's. 

    A few questions; - is there a real improvement in picture-quality compared to the earlier series (MX4000/2)

                               - a different construction of speakers seemed to be used, has the sound changed much?

                               - I would like to re-use my beautiful white backcover from the MX3500, can it be placed on a MX4200?

    You will find the 4000/4002 infinitely more repairable than the 4200 ... but depends how high on your list is that consideration

    A 4200 less reparable? Strange as it is the newer tv, so parts will be around for a longer time.

    I also considered the beovision 6 as a replacement, but i doubt it will have the same picture-quality.

    Not sure if it is a requirement, but the 4200 has a STB controller built in.

    I believe that the 4200 is the first of the modern breed of B&O TV and as such is designed to be serviced by a monkey with a complete 4200 in a brief case!

    The service modules are expensive and limited service info is provided.

    However, the picture is in a different class to the 4000/4002 as is the sound.

    While it's working it is an astounding TV with a MUCH better picture than BV6. However, when it stops working it will probably be uneconomic to repair!

    Regards Graham

    Thanks for the useful answers. In my opinion Picture/sound quality is more important than possible service difficulties, so I'll buy a 4200.
