Loewe Connect flat panel display
Thanks to its 100-hertz technology, it displays HDTV images with even greater brilliance. In addition, due to the use of a new chassis the new Connect features lower stand-by power consumption and can also be operated in eco mode. It therefore even surpasses its predecessor in terms of environment friendliness, for which the latter received the Focus Green Award.
In addition, all Connect Media sets are supplied with the latest generation of the Network Mediaplayer which offers Internet reception of more than 8,000 different radio stations from all over the world without the need for a PC. In the DR+ version, the new Connect Media is also available with an integrated hard disk with an enlarged storage capacity of 250 GB, thus ensuring problem-free recording of HDTV programs. Last but not least, the new Connect Media is now supplied on an exclusive, chrome-finished table stand.
With the Loewe Connect, Loewe is focusing on modern, tech-savvy consumers who want to make life as comfortable as possible with the multimedia use of mobile devices and/or local networks. That’s why Loewe Connect has an easily-accessible USB interface for conveniently connecting USB memory sticks, multicard readers, external hard drives or digital cameras. An integrated PhotoViewer enables users to present digital JPEG photos as a slide show – in full HD splendour with up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. Alternatively, or simultaneously, music can be played from a USB storage medium with first-class, full-bodied sound.

The Connect Media can not only be integrated into a network via cable connection or Powerline, but also has a Wireless LAN module to make network installation as simple as possible. For convenient, interactive operation, Loewe has integrated the Network Mediaplayer, which provides access to centrally stored digital photos and music, as well as video clips and Internet radio. Thanks to the many technical refinements, navigating and searching are so simple and convenient that browsing your own digital media collection is simple and fun – quite regardless of whether the data are stored on a PC or a Mac.
In addition, with the new Mediaplayer, choosing among the countless radio stations available via the Internet is now child’s play. It isn’t even necessary to have a PC or laptop to do this – just the Assist remote control. Personalised favourites lists can also be created on the Internet, which then appear automatically on the TV. Loewe also offers an internet radio for the iPhone with the ability to synchronise with the television so that the user’s personal favourites are available at home or on the move.
Alongside various connections for camcorders, DVD players and games consoles, the Loewe Connect also features a VGA port for PCs, making it possible to show PowerPoint presentations, for example, in large format. PCs with a DVI-out port, games consoles with HDTV resolution or HD-DVD and Blu-ray players can be connected to one of up to three HDMI-in ports on the set.
Finally, the new Network Mediaplayer is unrivalled as a future-proof system. As soon as a new version is available, it can be downloaded from the Internet at the touch of a button on the remote control and automatically installed. Time consuming updates are therefore a thing of the past.
The new Loewe Connect is available in three housing colours and two sizes: a 42-inch screen diagonal for that cinema atmosphere in the living room, or a compact version with a 32-inch screen diagonal for smaller living rooms and apartments. The flat-screen televisions come in fashionable High Gloss White, elegant Silver and timelessly stylish High Gloss Black. The best thing about the Connect design, created by Design 3, is that the minimalist frame creates a sleek three-dimensional look regardless of the size, allowing the brilliance of the picture to come to the fore unchallenged.
The relation of the speakers to the screen and the convex-shaped side panels round off the appearance. The Loewe Connect is not only a new technical focal point for digital content; it is also an exclusive piece of designer furniture with perfect workmanship and individual set-up options which provide the finishing touch to the set’s modern character.
A range of stand options are available, including the unique adjustable ‘Trapeze’ floor stand that elevates the Connect at a relaxed and reclined angle that perfectly positions it for comfortable viewing.
