Samsung / LG TVs

The two German television makers listed here both stress that their sets are built in Germany, but they sell in different ways. Loewe says it was founded in 1923 and has its headquarters in Kronach, Germany. It says its stellar OLED series is made entirely at its home site in Kronach, from the display module to final assembly, and reports over 200 awards for design, technical innovation and product quality.

Metz says it has developed and built in Germany for 85 years. It sells through authorised specialist dealers only, and offers delivery and installation through them on request. Its home page reports that it opened a new production line in Nuremberg on 10 September, as part of moving the company from Zirndorf. Its about page says its OLED and UHD models support all the main HDR formats.

When you compare these brands with Samsung or LG, check screen size and panel type, the smart TV apps you need, the warranty terms, and whether a dealer near you can deliver and set up the television.
