Loewe R37 Masterpiece - Great Pice of Kit but at a Hefty Price Tag for What You Get?
Buying a new television nowadays is a major investment. The idea of parting with what could be a couple of hundred notes does tend to concentrate the mind somewhat.
Given the speed and rapidity of technological advances nowadays think carefully about whatever purchase you make and try and ensure within reason the future compatibility of your TV with industry standards.
Digital television (DTT) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analogue signals used by analogue (traditional) TV. With DTT, viewers are limited to whatever channels the antenna picks up. Signal quality will also vary.
With this article the aim is to take a look at what is on offer with the latest generation of Flat Screen Televisions and in this case the Loewe R37 Masterpiece.
The R37 Masterpiece is a 37in LCD TV and the prices for these would be in the region of 5800 pounds sterling or 11600 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Loewe has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the R37 Masterpiece uses is DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Loewe is available from limited outlets only.
All these points being taken into consideration, how would we view the Loewe R37 Masterpiece?
First up, we would look at the picture quality and our score here would be 10 out of 10, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 10 out of 10. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 8 out of 10. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 10 out of 10 and the final individual verdicts would relate to the ease of use and overall value for money and our scores here would be, 6 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 respectively.
Taking everything into consideration our overall view of the package would be The results on all the tests carried out on the R37 came out really well but the only real issue we felt (and it may be because we are a bunch of skinflints) was that it was a hefty price tag for what you got. Yes the performance was exceptional but as has been said by others there are sets out there that are giving you much more for far less.
The fact is that given the wide variety of models and makes available today you should find something that suites your needs as well as your wallet. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. Either way we hope that by reading this short article you should have a slightly more informed view of the options available to you
