I am glad we are moving in that direction ( as in, there are options for people, who are ok with paying more for not intrusive versions ). Sadly, no US option.
For some reason I'm unable to reply to maccard - apologies for this misplaced response
> I had never heard of loewe, but after 10 minutes of searching, I still know nothing more about them - there is no pricing available, no idea where to buy them and no list of models. The one model I could find I also can't find tech specs for because the download link is broken.
Loewe are indeed wonderful TVs totally letdown by their marketing and distribution.
FWIW their website (which I linked to above) does have model and spec information, but it's fair to say that they've fallen off the radar for most consumer-TV review sites, and even their user-base forum[0] is predominantly German-language (although any questions asked in English do receive a response).
I think the problem is that the TV-market is saturated by the major brands, and they achieve market-dominance by stealing and selling their users' data, instead of pricing their TVs realistically. Most people don't care.
