How would this be done?

IIRC, the BV12 came with the BSys4?

The Bsys4 should almost be interchangable with the Theatre except for the picture/monitor control.

The problems I see is that :

1. The BV12/Bsys4 is a Beo4 controlled system
2. The BS Theatre is a BR1 Bluetooth control.
3. There is no native APP for the BeoApp in the Screen (and hence control)
4. There may be no tuning capability in the BV monitor (disabled/delegated to Bsys4)
5. Modern OLED Panel connectivity to DNLA, other equipment, CEC, will be missing

There may be a way to connect both the Bsys4 for monitor and IR control and have the BS Theatre together but I’d bet its very clunky? However, the tech between the two is over 10years apart (and probably 15 years between the panels)?

Looking at the LG G2 (or new G3) 65, why would you connect a BV12 and miss on 50% of the interaction fun when a BSTheatre and LG is arguably the best featured Beovision ever made?

Interesting question!

The ‘BV 12-65’ is basicly a dumb screen, when not connected to the Beosystem 3/4………a Panasonic, if I remember it correct.
The problem however, is that it can not turn on/off on it’s own – no CEC control there.
So, if that should work, you/someone must find a way to do this.

Of course you will have to have your sources, such as tv-box, ATV, Chromecast, Google TV etc, connected to the BS Theatre, since there are no sources in that dumb screen.
And of course the built-in speaker won’t work, respectively it makes no sense to try to reuse it, if you have the powerfull BST.

Will be interesting to hear, if you try it out and succeed.
IMO it only makes sense, if you already have the BV12 screen.

As Mr10% wrote, the better solution would be to pair the Theatre with an LG tv for full support….and also because of the 4K resolution and HDR (and for the lower power consumption).

To add…..

The BV12 is 1661mm x 963mm, the LG 65 G2 is 1441mm x 845mm. I’m sure the G2 could fit inside the facia of a BV12 with a little skill and some handy 3D-printing of spacers if that is the effect you are trying to achieve. Delete the internal speakers to reduce weight etc…

That way you get the BV12 looks with the modern controllable LG screen inside. The other two problems are the BV12 contrast screen will degrade the viewing of the excellent LG panel and the whole assembly will look odd with the BST wings being not as wide as the BV12 panel.
