Nope, they don't. I used to sell them and they're nothing special except for the price, kind of B&O thing - nothing special but good show-off.

i'm another one, we were authorised distributor of Loewe. It's the same crap like B&O (also used to sell their products) - a lipstick on a pig
weeeeeell... marketing at work. Take a mass product, build a nice enclosing and charge a ridiculous price for that. Et voila, an insane product is born.
Selective cuts pehaps?
As a previous owner of Loewe and living in Aus, I can vouch for their beautiful picture, but people like the crazy over saturated stuff that most of the Koreans produce - it's brighter so must be better right? I hate the look of many of the Samsung TVs picture. And mine was reliable as well as better value than what widescreen stuff was available when I bought it.
Do I have a Loewe now? - no manly due to the crazy expensive prices of large panels here in Aus. I have a Sony Bravia HX series which is nice, efficient and didn't smash my budget. The stores pushing Samsung all wanted me to buy their flagship product with hand gesturing, skype camera etc which was not only significantly dearer than what we went for but also, in my opinion, produced a lesser picture than the Sony once you played proper HD and not animation where the over blown colours do look great.
But that's just my opinion and I'm sure many disagree and enjoy their choices as well

We happen to own two Loewes, and all I can say is that it do not notice any substantial difference compared to a Sony NX.
As someone else wrote, nothing beats a solid input signal on a HDTV. (With older tube TV sets, software could do some great enhancements through upscaling, like the Philips.) With HDTV, the quality of the panel determines the picture quality. If you put a Sharp panel in it, you will get Sharp picture quality (which I find actually to be quite good).
You can drive a Mercedes A-class and find its engine to be insanely better than a Renault - the engine remains one and the same, though.
YMMV! Just my 2 cents.
I'm not familiar with the Sony NX, but please keep in mind that I said "that I have seen". There are many Loewe, Sony and Sharp TVs out there, and I wasn't establishing an objective fact, rather stating my experience ; )
That said, your analogy would only make sense, if I had spoken about a Loewe and a Sharp TV, with the exact same panels. Besides, the A-Class is not a luxury car to begin with (even though the new design is great, but I digress), and Mercedes probably modified Renault's engine, no?
My first ever proper TV was a Loewe, it was a fantastic TV and lasted
20 years and then got damaged by a power surge due to lightning.
It was expensive at firs, but considering the lifespan it was actually really cheap in the end.
However their air play speaker does get some very mixed reviews, but so do some Apple products (like the dying Time Capsules).

So you owned one then, I suppose...

how many were you selling with that attitude ; ) Seriously though, when a family member bought one, I was really trying to talk him out of it, because he spent an insane amount on a 32" LCD back then, which would have bought him a way bigger display, with a lot of money to spare. He ended up buying the Loewe after all, and the picture clarity was nothing like I had seen before. I found the quality very special, just like on other Loewe TVs I've seen.
Of course, I can't speak on the value of those devices, since I don't know jack about the manufacturing process and what actually goes into the TVs.

Bryan Cranston wouldn't be very happy with you ; )
many, my opinion on a product has got nothing to do with the work, in that case sale of those products since i do not share my opinions with my customers since it's not my money. if German TVs, then I preferred TVs from Metz, the same build quality for less - not sure if they still make TVs these days though.
So are Apple
something that can be bought at Walmart....wouldn't exactly call very high end.
