Love Loewe but RCA Fishbowl tubed 40" isn't one of their best.
I would buy something else.

Wise words Gringo......You can get a Panny plasma for close to that sort of money these days...or a PioneerMXE....

P.S. It is a nightmare to move. If someone asked me to take one upstairs I'd refuse. Loewe send it on a pallet. It's a three man job to lift...in fact you really need a lift to move it.

Oh come on lads, its is very big but not Titanic! There's hardly anything in it between 36" Sony and the 40".
Let the delivery guys deal with getting it in the house, they'll probably unbox it to get it through the door, and if they do scratch/damage it, its their problem. But I would agree with you and say get a Plasma. |

The Sony has carry handles built in sides...Loewe doesn't.

re the cost - Empiredirect have them for £2400 so still a grand away from a good plasma - but thanks for the replies

Richer Sounds, 42" Samsung plasma for under £2k.
I know which I'd rather have! And then I'd have £400 to buy DVDs

This TV is as big as a house - I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few Loewe Engineers living in it.
