BeoVision LX 2802

BeoVision LX 2802

Advanced TV technology at its most elegant
Beovision 2802 was the latest version of the classic Bang & Olufsen TV. Fully remote controlled, it was created specially for those who require all the features of today’s TV – and who also seek a timeless design that would blend perfectly into their living environment. Slim and elegant, Beovision LX2802 came in either traditional natural woods or a contemporary white finish.

To the finest detail
B&O is renowned for its attention to detail and craftsmanship. You won’t find any fussy buttons on B&O’s sets – because, with full remote control, they simply aren’t necessary. Absolutely nothing looks out of place or superfluous with a Bang & Olufsen TV. The materials are always selected with the utmost care. The closest attention is always paid even to the design of the back of the TV. The company believes that appearances matter a great deal, because you’ve got to live with a TV day in, day out. On or off, it should be easy on the eye.

The perfect picture – from any angle
You don’t have to sit bang in front to get a good view of Bang & Olufsen TV sets. The 66cm flat-square picture tube of these Beovisions gave a clear, undistorted picture even when viewed from the side. Combine that with the specially developed VisionClear system, and you’ve got eye-opening picture quality. The colour balance and contrast are regulated automatically, 50 times every second. There’s even a contrast screen to make sure that your picture’s always in harmony with the light levels in the room. Razor-sharp quality – and it’s built to last.

And the sound to match
One of the things that make Bang & Olufsen TVs so special is the sound – because it’s just as breathtakingly good as the picture. The L and LX TVs have a bass reflex loudspeaker system – which, in words of one syllable, means great sound. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes, even listening to the news! Of course, you’ll also appreciate Bang & Olufsen sound quality when you listen to music from your sound system through the TV. (Perfectly possible – all Bang & Olufsen’s latest audio, TV and video systems can talk to each other). Close your eyes and it sounds like you’ve just acquired a splendid pair of new hi-fi speakers for your music centre. Which is exactly what you HAVE done.

A view to the future
Your LX 2802 TV was also ready for satellite broadcasts when they became available. It’ll be able to receive broadcasts either through communal aerials and a hybrid network, or through your own parabolic ‘dish’ antenna. Just add the BeoSat LX module when the future arrives.

No-wait Teletext
The live information bank of Teletext is a tremendous benefit, whether you want an instant weather update, flight times or racing results. Now we’ve added even more of a bonus, with the computer-controlled Teletext module. This allows you to flip through the Teletext pages without having to wait. You can also call up four different pages instantly on the screen (in the order you want) by pressing the Teletext button. So you can hop easily from one topic to another, with quicker access to the facts you need.

The right connections
When you buy a Bang & Olufsen video recorder to partner your TV, you’ll be able to operate both with one remote control – the Beolink 1000. Needless to say, our video recorders are as intelligently designed as our TVs: Beocord VX5000 and VHS 82.2 even have a visual display to make operation and programming absolute child’s play. But your connection options don’t stop there. Your TV can team up with your music system. It can even form part of your Bang & Olufsen ’round-the-house’ TV, video and music system. All under the command of the ingenious Beolink 1000 remote control. You can also connect headphones, your personal computer, video games and a loop amplifier for the hard of hearing.

Take four
You could choose one of four models: the 63cm L2502 and LX 2502, and the 66cm L2802 and LX 2802. In all the most important technical respects, these TVs shared the same advanced features.

Fine finishes
The Beovision LX series was available in rosewood, teak, white and White Line (B&O’s modern colour and styling treatment).

BeoVision LX 4500

BeoVision LX 4500

Beovision LX 5500 / 4500 and Beovision L 5500 / 4500

Beovision LX was the result of several generations of development. Superb technology offering a wealth of functions. And the elegant design was sheer pleasure to look at. Without doubt, Beovision LX was a thoroughbred, according to Bang & Olufsen’s 1990 catalogue. And the Beocord VX5000 video cassette recorder a worthy stable mate.

Bang & Olufsen continually seeks new ways not only to streamline operation and function but to simplify exteriors. The powerful speakers of Beovision LX had a totally smooth facade when they were originally introduced in 1990. The contrast screen in front of the picture tube stretches from the very top to the very bottom of the cabinet. And the lacquer was as polished as a grand piano’s.

The result was unity; no knobs or displays interrupted the flow.

You could keep an eye on more than one programme at a time by letting a miniature picture run in one corner of the screen. Or you could show 4, 9 or 16 ‘clips’ from programmes on air at that very moment. Beovision LX 5500 also gave fast, direct access to to four Teletext pages you used the most. And there was room for a satellite receiver to be installed as well as using the TV set for the connection of extra speakers, loop amplifier for the hard of hearing and TV game consoles.

By mounting the whole TV set on a motorised base, you could sit in your armchair and turn the TV up to 35 degrees to each side with just one press of your Beolink 1000 remote control terminal. By programming it into the set, the TV then turned automatically towards your favourite viewing position every time the set switches on. And, naturally, the TV returned to centre stage each time you switched it off.

A stage designer can creative positive associations of purity by using predominantly white or light grey in stage sets and costumes. White and grey symbolize a simple style of living and, as the audience, we associate this virtue in our mind’s eye with the person who decorates with, or dresses in, these light colours. In interior design white and grey give a modern impression with everything blending together, perfectly executed down to the tiniest detail. For those who prefer an all-white look,. Bang & Olufsen in 1990 dressed its Beovision LX range completely in white; even the back.

You could put Beovision LX White Line in the middle of a large room if you so desired. It looked discreet and elegant and spoke its own, well-modulated design language. If a pleasant light grey was more to your taste, the Beovision LX range was available in a light grey finish too. All the other technicalities internally were identical to the other LX family members.

BeoVision LX 5000

Beovision LX 5000 and LX6000 were the classic Bang & Olufsen televisions, with the loudspeakers on either side of the screen. They were equipped with 66cm and 63cm Black Line picture tubes and VisionClear which makes the picture sharper and the colours clearer. Automatic adjustment of the contrast and light strength continuously kept the picture optimal under different light conditions in the room.

The powerful loudspeakers were based on a two-way bass reflex loudspeaker system that delivered the high sound quality of more and more TV programmes and video tapes. Both TVs were equipped with A2 and NICAM stereo systems.

A BeoSat LM satellite receiver could be built in, allowing access to 99 TV or radio programmes via a parabolic aerial. A D2MAC decoder could also be built in. Bang & Olufsen made it possible for you to pre-program the recording of video programmes from the satellite. The satellite receiver and video recorder were operated by the same Beolink® remote control that operated the TV.

The same remote control also did the work if the Beovision LX6000 and LX5000 were coupled to a Bang & Olufsen music system. Other connection options were headphones, decoders, TV games and camcorder.

Bang & Olufsen Net TV service

Bang & Olufsen Net TV service

Bang & Olufsen Net TV service terminated as of 31st October 2024

 
Net TV Service
Net TV Service

Back in 2012, we launched our Net TV service (also known as “Smart TV”), which since then has been incorporated in the following products:

Beoplay V1
Beovision 11
Beovision Avant (2014)
Beosystem 4

Beovision Horizon
Beovision 14
Beovision Avant NG (2016)

Over the past years, we have seen a consistent decline in the number of Net TV service users, which is a natural consequence of the TV content provider apps being obsolete.

Balancing the maintenance of a such platform with a declining number of users has become increasingly challenging. Therefore, we have reached a point where the effort required to sustain the Net TV service platform outweighs its practical benefits.
As a result, we have decided to discontinue the Net TV service as from 31st October 2024.

 

For alternative TV content apps or Smart TV solutions, we recommend connecting an external device, e.g. set-top box, to your TV. In many cases, it can be controlled with Beoremote One via the PUC functionality.
Please refer to your Bang & Olufsen retailer for assistance.

BeoLab LCS 9000

BeoLab 3500 was the first-ever dedicated Beolink® speaker ever released from Bang & Olufsen.

At first it was designated LCS 9000 (Local Control System 9000 from 1992 to 1993) and was manufactured for the old Beolink® system, Master Control Link. But since one of Bang & Olufsen’s great advantages is compatibility it was of course already prepared for the new Master Link system.

Being a Beolink® speaker it houses all the electronics within it required to work as a part in a Beolink® system. No additional boxes are needed – only a cable between the hi-fi and the speaker. Even an infra-red transceiver is built in. BeoLab 3500 also has a display and a digital clock built in.

BeoLab 3500 is an active loudspeaker with two speakers for stereo sound and an integrated Beolink® receiver-unit complements the unit. It has been specially designed for the distribution of sound to rooms in which one moves around a lot, such as the kitchen. For the bedroom, a workshop, basement or even a children’s room, a BeoLab 3500 could be the right solution with full remote control via Beo4. A dedicated Beolink® loudspeaker, it fits into its standard bracket on the wall, on top of a book case, or over the door in the dining room. Its red LED display keeps you informed about which source you are playing.

With two bass and treble loudspeakers, each with its own amplifier, the sound level can be adjusted independently of the other loudspeakers in the system. Hang BeoLab 3500 on the wall on its standard wall bracket or use the optional polished aluminium stand to display it on a shelf or table.

“When it comes to sound reproduction we believe there’s only one relevant parameter: How close can we come to the originally recorded sound. We feel an obligation not to disturb the intentions of the artist by adding unnatural elements to the acoustic image. Therefore all Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers share the same goal. They differ in size and shape and in terms of sound pressure level. But they are all developed to reproduce the natural, unaltered sound as closely as possible ” – Bang & Olufsen catalogue 2001 – 2002

BeoLab 3500 as part of a Beolink® system:

BeoLab 3500 is an integrated link-room active loudspeaker comprising a Master Link (ML) connection, an IR receiver and a digital display. BeoLab 3500 also has Master Control Link (MCL) connection and a built-in clock.

BeoLab 3500 is supplied with a mains lead, a Master Link cable and a bracket for wall mounting is available as an optional accessory.

Application

BeoLab 3500 is used in link rooms where you wish to have an integrated active speaker. From the BeoLab 3500 it is possible to listen to both audio and video sources from the main room. There is built-in sound control, which means that tone, volume, balance and loudness controls can be adjusted independently of the main room.

What’s my Bang & Olufsen worth?

What’s my Bang & Olufsen worth?

Values?

Its always very difficult to give an exact value for used Bang & Olufsen products as tastes and fashions change regularly. However, you can be rest assured that Bang & Olufsen products (in general) hold their money well compared to other brands.

The best way to get an indication of the current market price is to look at places such as eBay UK making sure to check the sol prices rather than what is currently for sale. Do a product search, but remember not to take one price as gospel.. Each auction end value for the same product can sometimes differ wildly for no apparent reason (mainly due to an excellent description and photos on a particular listing or a bidding war between potential buyers!) – so its always best to work out an “average value”. You can also get a rough idea from pre-owned Bang & Olufsen specialists, and part exchange products that Official Dealers are clearing – but remember these people offer guarantees and have overheads so prices may be slightly higher than a private sale.

Condition

One thing to always remember about Bang & Olufsen is that Condition is Everything. People who buy B&O are generally perfectionists when it comes to their AV – so expect a lot less than market price if the item is in poor condition. On the flip side – if you have an absolutely Mint Condition product, you can more often than not attract a premium. Mint Condition means not a mark on it though… some peoples ideas of Mint can really vary!!

One last thing to remember is to clean the products before you offer them for sale. So many times people offer for sale a dusty, dirty and fingerprint covered piece of Bang & Olufsen and wonder why nobody wants to buy it. A little time spent carefully cleaning will pay dividends!
