Loewe bild v.55 dr+ OLED TV

Loewe bild v.55 dr+ is a 55-inch 4K OLED TV for watching television programmes, films and HDR content. Its built-in DR+ recorder has an integrated hard drive, giving you a way to save programmes and pause live TV. A soundbar beneath the screen and personal sound adjustment bring picture and sound together in one television.

Picture and HDR content

Each pixel in the OLED screen lights up independently. This allows black to be maintained in dark parts of a scene, where the distinction between light and shadow matters to the picture. The 3840 × 2160 resolution displays 4K content, and the TV supports HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision.

Each TV of this model is individually calibrated and optimised. That is useful if you want to start watching on a screen that has already been adjusted. Calibration does not change the source material, however. What you see also depends on the resolution and format of the programme or film you choose. When selecting HDR content, check the format listed in its description against the formats the TV supports.

Soundbar and personal hearing profile

The stereo soundbar beneath the screen contains six integrated speakers. Its front is covered in basalt-coloured fabric. Because the soundbar is part of the TV, you do not need to find a separate place for it beside the screen. The stated 80 W music power describes music power specifically. It should not be treated as a continuous output power rating; no continuous output power figure is provided.

Mimi Defined adjusts the TV’s sound to a personal hearing profile. It analyses and regulates the sound in real time, which may be useful when you want what you hear to be tailored to your hearing. If you are comparing sound systems by their power ratings, compare figures of the same type rather than treating different rating terms as interchangeable.

Recording and pausing programmes

DR+ uses an integrated 1 TB hard drive. You can record two television programmes at the same time while watching another channel. When programmes you want to see overlap, you can watch one channel now and return to the recorded programmes later. The recordings use the drive inside the TV, so the recording function described here does not require a separate recorder.

You can also pause a live television programme and resume it afterwards. Pausing is useful when you want to avoid missing part of a programme that is on at that moment. Saving a recording serves a different purpose: it lets you keep a programme for later viewing. If you expect to build up a collection of films or series, consider the drive’s capacity when deciding whether it suits your habits. The number of programmes that can be recorded simultaneously is also worth considering if your viewing choices often overlap.

Planning its place in the room

The stated dimensions help you judge the space available in your intended location, while the 29 kg net weight matters when choosing a support or planning installation. The measurement configuration for the dimensions is not specified, so they cannot be used to determine how much space a stand will occupy. Assess the stand separately if you intend to use one. The soundbar sits below the screen, and it is worth allowing for this visible part of the TV when deciding where it will go.

FAQ

How do I choose suitable HDR content for this TV?

Before choosing a film or programme, check the HDR format in its description. The TV supports HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, so choose content offered in one of those formats.

Do I need to connect a separate recorder to record programmes?

No. DR+ uses the hard drive integrated into the TV. You can use it to save television programmes, films or series.

What can I do when several programmes I want to watch are on at once?

You can record two programmes while watching another channel. You can then return to the recorded programmes later.

Does the TV need a separate soundbar?

No. A stereo soundbar with six speakers is already integrated beneath the screen. It is part of the TV.

Can the 80 W music power rating be compared with continuous output power?

The stated 80 W is a music power rating; a continuous output power rating is not provided. When comparing sound systems by power, look for ratings of the same type.

What should I consider when choosing a place for the TV?

Consider its dimensions and 29 kg net weight when planning its position and support. If you will use a stand, assess the space it needs separately because the measurement configuration of the TV’s stated dimensions is not specified.
