Default Loewe Aconda 38" experiences?

I'm considering a Loewe Aconda. Anyone have any experiences with these
good, bad or otherwise?

The store that I work for has sold a few of them. Very nice sets but I find
the price rather high and the menu system annoying and hard to use. Like
all big CRTs there will be variance in convergence, purity, and geometry
that may or may not be adjustable. so make sure that the dealer is fully
competent to service big CRTs and has a tech that is VERY experienced with
aligning them.

For my taste, the Sony sets are a much better deal in a direct view CRT.

Excellent . It blows the Sony away. I never use the menus. I did the set
up and that was it. The best picture. I spent an extra $250 initially
for an ISF calibration and it was worth every dollar.I have had it for 8
months now and HD is fantastic. SD is also better than on my Mits 40
inch. You get what you pay for and LOEWE is the best in that size.
