Used to be when you went to the "TV store" you had two choices: buy the RCA or don't buy the RCA. Nowadays, not only do we have approximately one million brands to choose from, some manufacturers are actually letting us tweak individual models to suit our personal tastes and decor. Taking a cue from the Hannspree line of artsy flat-panels, Loewe began showing off their customizable displays at Berlin's IFA. Loewe lets you mix-and-match different-colored front panels and side insets to create over 400 combinations of designer goodness. What's more, the super-wealthy can order one-off models specially manufactured with leather trim or Swarovski crystals. Finally, we know what to get Paris and Paris for their big day.
FINALLY! I freakin hate the colors that they usually come from! I discriminate it all the time! IT MUST DIE! But now they wont because there are addons :)
Loewe TVs seriously rock. The attention to detail and overall presentation really is first-class.
They're definitely worth the small premium over regular brands.
Only 320x240 video? What a way to ruin everything.
Sorry, wrong thread. That comment was about Caplio R3.
I would think twice about buying Loewe, In the US they had a really bad failure rate, It got so Bad that GoodGuys Drop the line and they are not sold in the US any more . A friend was a Independent deal and sold me one(Arcada) at a great price and after only a year and half it broke down and his(Calida) also just after the two year warranty ran out . I here that more than 60% that his company sold broke in the last 5 years and It take Two to three months to get repaired under warranty in California. I do agree that they look nice and have a beautiful finish. But finish is not every thing.
They stole the design from Samsung.

Failure rate? I and some of my friends have Loewe TVs, and never had one single problem. They were the best crts and hopefully they are more than decent lcds
Samsung/Sony are jointly manufacturing many branded LCDs, including their own.
Loewe (pronounced "Loo-Veh") has always made very cool, cutting edge type TVs.
