I agree with the last reviewer.
I too sold the Loewe TV's for many years. Their CRT screens were on the whole pretty good, if expensive.
The Loewe LCD range of TV's is just expensive for expensive sake. The LCD panels used in their screens are not made by Loewe but are mainly Sharp or LG. Performance of the screens, in my opinion is c minus.
I work for a one of the countries largest specialist retailers that has branches all over the country. We stopped stocking Loewe because of the average picture quality, buggy software, poor service and general unreliability.
Considering the fact that they make 'top of the range' products, I am most concerned that they have had two product recalls in recent years, both very serious, both involving their products catching fire!!

Being fair there is only a handful of screen manufacturers in the world and companies cannot make everything, even Bang & olufsen use samsung! Regarding the product recalls, I believe the situation was to do with a common power supply circuit board which a number of makes use, Bang & Olufsen did a similar ;upgrade' of faulty parts (was Bang & olufsen at thetime) and many other manufacturers were not proactive at all, Loewe at least came out, said there was a issue and moved to deal with it whatever the publicity.

Like your previous reviewers I too sold Loewe TV's in the past. My Vitros CRT has finally packed in after 10 years faultless service (Power supply gone). Am now going to get an LCD tv however judging by these reviews will probably look at getting a Sony or similar mainstream product.
