- 2,160 individual design options
- Convincing picture quality in 2D and 3D
- Perfectly networked and with unique apps
- Attractive set-up options
Kronach. - The new Loewe Connect ID, with its combination
of sensible innovations and individual design (ID), is
virtually unrivalled among smart TVs. The Connect ID can
actually be designed to reflect the ideas and the
personality of its owner. The new Connect ID family from
Loewe is available in two technical versions (with or
without the integrated DR+ hard disk recorder) and with
three different screen sizes (32, 40 and 46-inch), twelve
different colour combinations and 30 unique set-up options.
That makes a total 2,160 Connect ID televisions, each with
a different character. The choice of Black, White, Silver,
Beige, Green or Orange housing colours and of High Gloss
White or High Gloss Black frames allows the Connect ID to
blend perfectly into either a classically elegant or an
assertively progressive living environment and match the
owner's personal lifestyle. However, not only is the design
convincing - the equipment inside the Connect ID flat TVs
also leaves nothing to be desired. For example, all three
screen sizes offer a convincing 3D experience. Other
outstanding features of the new Loewe Connect ID are its
excellent audio quality and an unlimited multimedia
offering, with unique apps.
Convincing - down to the last detail
The Connect ID is available in three different screen
sizes: the mid-format 32-inch, the 40-inch and the big
46-inch screen for home cinema. Naturally, Loewe uses an
LCD panel with 200-Hz technology for optimum image quality
in all formats. In addition, with Loewe Active 3D glasses,
three-dimensional content can be seen at its best. All
formats feature HDTVtuners for DVB-T/C and
DVB-S2. A DVB-T2 tuner can also be integrated as an option.
A wide array of connectors, including two CI+ slots, three
HDMI ports, of which one is with ARC, and two
USBports, gives the Connect ID optimum
connectivity. The Connect ID can be equipped with the
integrated Loewe DR+ hard disk recorder on request. This
provides a total of 500 GB of storage capacity, allowing
owners to record their favourite programmes - as long as
this is permitted by the content provider - at any
time.
Perfectly networked
LAN and WLAN are included as standard. In addition, the
Connect ID can be easily integrated into the home network
via Powerline. The classic Loewe smart TV functions, such
as Loewe MediaHome, HbbTV via Loewe MediaText and access to
Internet content via Loewe MediaNet, are therefore
available at all times. And, of course, the Connect ID also
uses the award-winning Loewe DR+ Streaming technology
(winner of the 2011-2012 EISA Award) This makes it possible
simply to stream recordings from the hard disk to other
current Loewe televisions, or to switch a programme begun
on the Connect ID television to another Loewe TV on the
home network for further viewing using the convenient
FollowMe function. Last but not least, the Connect ID can
be controlled not only via the Loewe Assist remote control
delivered with it, but also through an iPad, using what is
probably the most comprehensive TV control app there is,
the Loewe Assist Media App. At the same time, once the
Loewe Assist Media App is on the iPad it provides an
electronic programme guide (EPG) in a class of its own.
This means it couldn't be simpler to change channels and
program recordings on the home network.
Sound in a class of its own
One of the particular strengths of Loewe televisions is
their outstanding sound. The Loewe Connect ID is no
exception. The two broadband speakers guarantee optimum
voice reproduction and a well-balanced, powerful sound. The
sound is even more impressive with the 40 and 46-inch
models. Here, two down-firing woofers add a rich
home-cinema sound. High-efficiency D-class amplifiers and
fully digital audio signal processing all the way from the
aerial input to the amplifier ensure the utmost in high
fidelity. In all, the Connect ID performs brilliantly with
up to 80 watts of musical power. At the same time,
multi-band automatic volume control (AVC) guarantees evenly
balanced volume across a variety of sources and
broadcasters. With an integrated AC3 decoder, the Loewe
Connect ID is also enabled for Dolby Digital/
dts 5.1 multi-channel audio, making it the perfect partner
for a Loewe Sound System. In this case, the Loewe
Home Cinemasets are particularly well suited.
The fabric of the speaker covers underlines the special
audio qualities of the Connect ID in terms of both design
and acoustics.
Always well placed
With its wide variety of set-up options, the Connect ID can
be integrated perfectly into individual living
environments, be they traditional, with the variable Table
Stand Comfort, modern, with the fixed Table Stand Dynamic,
or spacious, with the Table Stand Tableau. Further
alternative options are the Floor Stand Connect ID, with or
without equipment board, and the Floor Stand Universal. The
Connect ID can of course also be placed on one of the many
Loewe racks or hung on the wall like a painting using the
Wall Mount. Practical touch: the rear panel comes already
prepared for the necessary Vesa brackets and also features
an integrated Kensington lock. Those who love spectacular
staging can mount their Connect ID either on the new Wall
Stand Flex that leans against the wall, or as a
free-standing feature, with the Loewe Screen Lift Plus
floor-to-ceiling fixture. The hidden cabling allows the
minimalist design of the Connect ID to be admired from any
perspective.
Energy efficient
It goes without saying that the new Loewe Connect ID is
also particularly energy-efficient. Material and energy
have been saved by integrating numerous functions (e.g.
set-top box, external hard disk). The Loewe Connect ID is
also nearly five kilogrammes lighter than its predecessor
the Loewe Connect. Every kilo that does not have to be
produced and transported contributes to improving the
environmental impact. Typically for Loewe, the Connect ID
can be completely disconnected from the mains at a touch of
the integrated power switch. This ensures that the TV only
uses electricity when it is actually required.
