Loewe Bild 9

anyone seem this TV? 

 

The Loewe Bild 9 looks beautiful and so much more elegant and understated than the Eclipse or Harmony. 

 

 

Of course, the Eclipse and Harmony are massive televisions and the Loewe is thereby slimmer, making more on understatment. But why should I buy a Loewe TV (or B&O) when I'm only willing to buy a pure screen, I'd rather buy a Samsung or lg or whatever.  In my opinion, a Loewe or B&O television only justifies itself if there is a total integration of multiroom and sound and you are willing to pay the price for it.
And then you should bear in mind that this is the second time that Loewe has gone bankrupt in May again (after 2013). Here is an excerpt (original in German at https://www.manager-magazin.de/unternehmen/industrie/loewe-tv-hersteller-meldet-insolvenz-an-a-1265741.html):
A few years after a severe crisis, television manufacturer Loewe is on the verge of collapse. After 2013, the company in Kronach, Upper Franconia, has filed for insolvency for the second time in its own administration, as a statement sent to several media on Friday showed.

Business is worse than expected: "Our relevant market segment in the upper price range has declined by 20 percent in the current quarter," explained Managing Director Ralf Vogt. The wages and salaries of the 500 employees are secured during the restructuring phase, and business operations are to continue without restrictions.
I am not sure whether I would buy such an expensive television from a company that apparently does not manage to earn enough money.
B&O, on the other hand, looks like a "bead of income" (just kidding).
That's why in my opinion all small premium manufacturers will say goodbye to television production. I don't see how one can earn money there in the near future.

Loewe is totally different now and a bit of a passion project off a very wealthy individual, they're also now one of the biggest of Germany (3rd after lg and samsung). Their OS is also universal so they now have 10's of thousands on which they can catch issues early and fix it if needed. I know it's blasphemy to say it here but they are still premium but with a very nice value for money factor compared to eclipses and harmonies if you look at purely the tv side of things.
