No I thought the same, as long as it is lcd it should be fine, checked that out 
a wee while ago and spoke to a number of people who do installs etc, the

That's quite surprising, HDMI and DVI should be easily converted, since
HDMI's video is just DVI. FWIW I have the HDMI port of my PS3 connected
to a DVI monitor (a Dell thing) and it works perfectly.

Slightly over budget, but the LG 32LC2D is a good TV.  A year ago it was
>£1000 (infact is still £999 at Tesco Direct).  It can be found for ~
£450 now.

The black is good on this TV, it's not blackish-grey like many TV's in
this price bracket.

One thing I particularly like about this TV is it's support for RS-232.
This is good for a dedicated Media Centre TV - as you can send 'remote
control' codes - ie TV On/Off from the computer it is attached to.  This
means that you can set it up to automatically turn on when the computer
boots, and off when you shut it down.  Also use your Media remote for
controlling the TV.  I haven't used the official remote in the last
year.

Dave Walker

I have one and done a lot with them, they also have an easy control system
for changing picture brightness etc, personally I have it on the dimmest
possible, I have friends who work in av etc and whenever we watch a film
with my loewe(means lion by the way) and feisty box they love it, especially
my tux background(sniggers). In my opinion loewe is worth the extra.

They're German.

The concept of "high end TVs" has been common in parts of the continent 
for many years. While the UK and Italy had domestic "hi-fi" 
manufacturers, Germany had domestic "hi-telly" manufacturers.

They really came into the UK in the 1990s, in partnership with Linn (the 
Glasgow hi-fi manufacturer). Indeed, Linn produced a Loewe-badged 
version of the Kielidh loudspeaker for the German market, as well as 
acting as their master distributor in the UK.

They're the kind of telly you really need to go and look at, rather than 
buying off a website...

The CRTs, which are the generation I know well, were (to my eyes) 
absolutely superb picture-wise. 100hz processing years before the 
mainstream brands did so. I don't know much about their LCDs at all - 
other than that I saw them at the CEDIA show last year, and they looked 
good (but in a show environment, on a single-brand stand, it's hard to 
tell.)

One thing you may find, if the CRTs are anything to go by, is that the 
picture looks slightly "dim" by comparison. This is in part, because the 
Japanese TV manufacturers, Sony in particular, set the defaults to "high 
brightness, high colour saturation" so that their pictures stand out on 
a shelf at Comet... The Loewe defaults are set to reproduce skin tone 
accurately :-)

Oh, and one final thing - it's pronouced "Lur - Vur", assonant with 
"Per-vert" (sorry, couldn't think of a better word to show the vowel 
sounds) and NOT "Loo - Vay", despite what the salesdroid in John Lewis 
in High Wycombe may try to tell you :-)

In case you're wondering how I know all this, I'm old enough and "public 
school enough" to have been an old-fashioned hi-fi enthusiast, but young 
enough and open-minded enough to have jumped to the multi-channel audio 
world in the mid-90s :-) Hell, I even had a laserdisk player for a few 
years, before DVDs came out :-)

They are not cheap though, they are a premium brand but sometimes have some tvs

have any deals on( afew months ago they had 32” for £500 they were cheap 
because they didn’t have digital tuners) doesn’t bother me.

If you can find a dealer they might have ld stock round about £500 as I know
they were selling them off.

Daniel,

I have a 32" Loewe CRT TV... and the picture quality is likewise amazing.

What are prices on the LCDs? If they're anything like the £300 
specified, then I'd be very tempted... but I fear not :-(

I'm using a Digimate LTV-3210h 32" hdtv as my monitor and it works 
great. Just be warned you'll need a vga cable or HDMI -> DVI cable. If 
going for the latter cable option be aware that I couldnt get it to work
