I suspect it has something to do with the fact that TS originates from France. English is not his mothertongue. Legal prices translates as regular prices (prices do no differ a lot her in the EU), or prices for a non stolen TV.

Furtermore I cannot understand that Bayrische is unhappy with his BV10. I have one and I love it. The looks are amazing compared to any non-B&O tv and the picture quality is great with an HD-source like my Humax 5200c or even an Apple TV (at 720p).

Indeed. Malock is french, so am I, and I think he meant list price of these items, the maximum public prices advised by the brands. There is no "legal price" here, the government don't rule the price of TV sets 👍

I wouldn't even put loewe in the same league as B&O.

I had one , it was utter rubbish.

Agreed -

Neither a Samsung or a B&O - with average ( at best) sound and no real "identity" of its own......  when the best thing people say about your brand is "its not as good as XXXX, but it is cheaper....  then you are doing something wrong.

silk purse/cows ear etc etc.

Hardly a fair,or objective,description of Loewe's current product range.

For example,electrostatic speakers have much to recommend them.

DO not tempt fate!

If you want image quality wait for Panasonic VT50

Isn't the VT50 (or VT65) the new plasma hidden behind the BV12???

Loewe has very nice and modern features. What I really miss from B&O most is an easy way to record or time shift.

But in my opinion the picture processing is not on same page as B&O. Some of my relatives have Loewe Individual LCDs and the difference between a SD and HD picture is very massive (comparing same program). On my B&O you hardly see a difference. For me it seems that B&O is capable to make a good picture even out of a not so good signal, while Loewe does not.

And you do not need to compare the inbuilt speakers. Loewe is much worse in this field.

My experience with Loewe compared to B&O is that their is more disparity in their sets as with B&O : they are constantly changing the display behind the same sets. You can have a very nice picture quality, but you can also have a really low PQ if you weren't lucky enough.

A friend of mine bought an individual, and was VERY disapointed because he had a dark image, nothing comparable to the set in display at his shop... The technician came and said it was normal...

When you buy a B&O, you have a more constant PQ : what you've seen in the shop is generally what you get at home. But you will have some software issues with newly launched stuff...

The new Loewe Assist app for iPad is really good : you get a well-designed view of the TV schedule, and you can select to watch or record a program with the touch of a button. (I already have that with my BV8, but with a french set top box controlled by the Beo6, not internally)
