Bang & Olufsen Beovision MX 4000

Bang & Olufsen Beovision MX 4000

The Beovision range of 4:3 standard definition CRT TVs are in my opinion some of the very best for retro gaming. Featuring 2 x RGB Scart inputs, active stereo sound, great picture quality, de-interlacing function, full service menu adjustments and of course the iconic Danish design.
