    HD Ready Kit for Beovision 7-32 MKI

    Does it make sense to upgrade? What are cost and is this something for sale second hand?

    Hi Robert, not sure of the costs in Switzerland! Uk prices average at £450 for the fitted kit with flash update. not something you can do yourself I am sorry to say.

      If you were in the UK I would say look for a second life MK3 screen at a good price and sell your MK1. might come out the same cost but you will be getting an updated contrast ratio screen on the MK3 and hopefully less running time.

      This is only my opinion of course.

     

       Kind regards

          Jonnie

    thanks, I found a new kit for far less but if it cannot be installed myself it does not make sense to buy it, MKI is not great but will do for now and its purpose..

    Cheers

    If you are pretty technical you may well be OK fitting the kit. I am pretty sure though you would need it flashing by B&O afterwards! I may be wrong, if so I am sure someone else on the forum will point this out.

    You are right, the guy selling it also told me it needs flashing...

    BTW I am urgently looking for a beolab 7-1 bracket to mount it on my 7-32 motorised stand, do you know anyone selling one?

    How much is a bracket from a dealer??

  • 09-29-2011 1:03 PM In reply to

    Re: HD Ready Kit for Beovision 7-32 MKI

    they do not sell the bracket as such, the wall mount is 200 CHF and a table stand requires me to pull 400CHF from my wallet!

    Robert, I have sent an email about the bracket!
