Why do people on this forum have to talk crap! In broadcast circles they drop 10's of thousands on peripherals and monitors. Proffesional broadcast video machines cost around Â£40,000, cameras well over Â£30,000. Video editing suites in a serious post production house can easily exceed Â£500,000, get real!!! When amateurs talk about the cost of their hi-fi and their television set ups the costs are quite small. A 14" broadcast monitor can easily cost over Â£1,500 + vat. In broadcasting signals, very often the quality loss in transmission is significant when compared to the original signal. As I said before the Loewe is a good domestic set, I'm not disputing that, and compared to the Sony Wega (which is nearly half the price) it probably looks very good. I suggested to the original poster that he check out the top end Sony 36" set, which is a very different beast. Manufacturers like Loewe because they are significantly smaller than the big boys ie Sony, Thompson, Panasonic ect, usually have to buy their tubes from other sources, I'm only guessing, but I would suspect Thompson. Sony always had an advantage over the past 20 years or so because of their Trinitron tube patented technology. Since the patent expired one or two other manufacturers have produced designs along simular principles. This is catch up. This is the same reason that Phillips (or Marantz) have continued to be one of the market leaders in CD technology, same principle, in that they have a head start. Look at products in any market, very often the market leaders are the companies that started the products. One of the posters above supplied a link to a review of the set I mentioned. They said in that review that it represented the ultimate in domestic television pictures at the present time. heck buy the Loewe or whatever you want its your choice, I still stand by my comment that as good as the Loewe is its overpriced, and you are paying for the "designer look".
