Loewe unveils Connect, its latest range of Ultra HD 4K TVs, and this stunning model offers brains as well as beauty. Slimmer and sleeker than the outgoing version, its high-quality aluminium frame, carefully crafted surfaces, and precise panels combine to create a standout TV in world of ‘me too’ designs.
Inner beauty
Beautiful to look at from the outside, the Loewe Connect’s built-in, state-of-the-art features paint a pretty picture, too. Equipped with an integrated 1TB hard disk recorder with a dual-channel triple digital tuner, this model hides a number of neat tricks up its perfectly ironed sleeves.
Loewe’s unique hard disk recorder means you can of course pause live TV and record programs for watching at a later date, it also doubles as a video server that can be accessed by other Loewe TVs attached to the same home network. And with the ‘Follow Me’ function you can even pause the current programme and continue watching on another Loewe set in a different room. Handily, the system also lets users organise recordings into folders making content much easier to find, you can even export content to USB for archive or back-up purposes.
Users of tablets can also enjoy Loewe ‘on the move’. Loewe’s free Smart Assist app for iOS and Android makes usability a cinch and, at the touch of a button, the ‘Smart tv2move’ feature streams the current programme – or an alternative channel via the dual tuner – to the tablet, meaning you can leave the room without missing a minute of the action.
These extensive built-in features – made possible by Loewe’s proprietary, cutting-edge hardware and software – mean that the Connect TV can serve as a fully integrated Ultra HD media hub, without the need for additional clutter. A further space-saver is the TV’s integrated sound system, which is so capable it again negates the need for external equipment.
To help create a room-filling sound from such a svelte chassis, Loewe teams with SOEN – a leader in the high-performance compact audio solutions sector – to deliver a detailed, immersive and powerful sound, and all without the need for an external soundbar. A room-filling 80 watts of amplification drives four forward-facing speakers, expertly engineered with high-excursion Smart Suspension, advanced FluxForce Motors and Momentum Ports to augment the bass.
For those looking to take audio performance to an even higher level, the TV incorporates a 5.1-channel AV decoder with support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. So there is no need for an external AV receiver or an additional remote control. The Loewe Connect integrated speaker system can also act as the centre speaker in a 5.1 set-up, enabling an extremely neat home cinema surround system with minimal clutter. Loewe offers a range of sonically and cosmetically matched speakers and for surround sound set-ups, and its Subwoofer 800 and 525 models not only power the speaker package, but also enable auto switch on of the audio – turn on the TV and the sound system readies itself, too. And one remote is all you’ll ever need.
Pretty and smart, pretty smart in fact.
Naturally, the Loewe Connect comes with an intuitive remote control, and the new operating system gives swift access to a fully customisable home screen and features, including the Loewe Smart TV MediaNet portal, which enables direct links to content from online video libraries and music streaming services.
Additionally the Smart Assist app enables remote use from Android and iOS devices – so remote, in fact, that users don’t even have to be at home to programme recordings using the app. Another time saver is the ‘Instant Channel Zapping’ feature, which is challenging to land the crown ‘world’s fastest TV channel changer’.
