Loewe AURO8116DT

Advantages: Nice looking, good sound
Disadvantages: Disappointing picture, set loses settings if not left on standby

...When looking for a new TV a read all the reviews I could find and found that Loewe scored consistantly high. Although a few other brands had good consistant ratings, like Loewe they were expensive. Finding a stockist was not easy but I eventually found one but they only carried a limited range.

Setting up is not easy but I eventually got it set up but found the default picture setting unsatisfactory. After a lot of work I got a reasonable balance although I do not think the picture is any better than TV's at little more than half the price.

This TV (although a little like the inside of a toyota in color, grey plastic) is designed to be a part of the furniture rather than some black box that collects dust. 100 Mhz screen helps but it is noticeably better than others and at half the price. Not a flat screen but it hardly shows. Sound is adequate. The on-screen instructions are desgned by someone who understands that we are not all rocket scientists. 2 scarts, has i-link so you can control the DVD and VHS from the TV. If you find one, buy one you won't regret it. The remote control... Read review
