Pioneer may have stepped out of the flat panel TV ring, but Loewe is just getting ready to put its gloves on
The new sets are, strangely enough, targeted at high end consumers, despite them being hit worst with the crises. The cheapest of the new models will come in at a modest $5999. On the other end of the scale, Kogan released their $900 37-inch set last week.
Loewe have also interestingly included a 250GB built-in PVR on some of their new models. For more information check out the full press release on the next page.
