Loewe Xelos A 42

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.

Installation & Instructions - It is so easy to install you literally just plug the cables in and everything is working.

The intruction booklet is easy to understand and complete with all details necessary to work the television to the best of it's ability. Functions & Features - The menu on the screen is easy to understand and use, there are already set styles such as 'movie, standard, music, sports' etc for sound which I find very... Read review
