TV test - Loewe Bild 7.55 flat screen

Si la technologie Oled largement dominée par le constructeur LG, aujourd’hui seul pourvoyeur de dalles de grande diagonale pour TV, est évidemment très intéressante, il faut bien reconnaître que ce secteur manquait cruellement de concurrence jusqu'ici.

But things are changing!Indeed, while waiting to discover in our laboratory the new OLED televisions presented at the CES SALON in Las Vegas in early January (Sony A1, PANASONIC EZ1000, LG B7/C7/E7/G7 or W7, Changhong Q3A…: to live, or revive, all the announcements of CES of Las Vegas 2017, click on the following link, these Las Vegas 2017, all live announcements!), Some interesting alternatives are already available, such as the magnificent Bild 7 series signed Loewe.

The German manufacturer surprised everyone, last summer shortly before the IFA show in Berlin, during the presentation of his OLED TVs.It was the same a few weeks later when they announced their prices.Many expected, including the editorial staff of Avcesar.com, at a high price.But finally, while retaining a very high manufacturing quality, Loewe Bild 7 televisions are displayed at indicative prices of € 6,990 in 65 ", and € 4,990 in 55" which remains very competitive with regard to LG LG prices(Bild 7.65 is, for example, less expensive than the flagship model of LG, the Signature OLED 65G6V).It is all the more remarkable that the German manufacturer has nothing to envy in terms of design to LG and has in terms of real asset performance, especially in terms of video processing.

Presentation of the Loewe Bild 7.55

Everyone knows, Loewe Bild 7.55 Integrates a 10 -bit WOLED Ultra HD slab signed LG.We therefore find roughly the same technologies data in terms of colorimetric coverage of the Gamut Reca.2020, bright peak, response time, homogeneity and structure.On the other hand, everything else is obviously to make Loewe, the dressing and, it is repeated, electronics therefore video processing and ultra HD upscaling, movement compensation, colorimetry, available settings, management ofTNT as well as the entire Smart TV interface and applications.In short, the ecosystem of this television is entirely developed by the German giant and believe us that makes a big difference on arrival!Without breaking the suspense too much, we can already say that if the possibilities of calibration make the great strength of the LG TV, the quality of the displayed image (including TNT) and the ergonomics of this TV areThe assets of the Loewe Bild 7.55.

In short, lovers of fine calibration and ISF or THX certification will not find their happiness with this television.The brand's goal with Loewe Bild 7.55, in addition to representing the pinnacle of the class and the elegance with which a TV is capable, is to offer a TV with the highest image technology, associated with a very high quality of display, with Mr. Toutlemonde whodoes not know anything or not much in technique, all with a disconcerting simplicity of use!Loewe has indeed based its reputation on a concept, manufacturing quality, timeless design and quality after -sales service.To be clear, the user is clearly assisted and has nothing to do.

He buys his TV and Loewe takes care of the rest!Technicians come to your home to unpack, install and configure your Bild 7.55 or even connect all other devices from home to television.Then, the customer is entitled to a real small private training to learn to manipulate the TV and exploit all his possibilities.That said, no concern, Loewe's smart TV universe is simple, intuitive, well thought out and presented in a beautiful modern and very complete interface.A real pleasure in using daily!But we will come back in detail to all this further in this test bench, let's go to the presentation of this famous OLED TV...

Sober, modern, timeless design, reference manufacturing quality

Simply breathtaking, Loewe Bild 7.55 is a true work of art.When we discover this television for the first time, we are really amazed by the quality of manufacturing, exemplary, and the feeling of timelessness that emerges from it.Despite an incredible delicacy of slab, thank you the OLED technology (barely 7 mm), the TV displays the same 25 kg on the scale!It must be said that the chassis is 100% metal.The frame, the foot (optional because the LOEWE BILD 7 TVs are delivered with a wall accord), the base or even the trunk, everything is in thick and solid steel, while retaining a refined, sober, matt black design with a fewparts covered with thick black fabric.The installation is easy, a kind of central mast in the shape of a rigid tube, on which the slab is fixed, is fitted in a very stable tripod in thick steel.Anyway, we repeat, Loewe does it for you.Otherwise, thanks to the rotary and motorized foot, you can orient the TV as you wish with the remote control on an amplitude of 45 degrees.Precision, it is also possible to opt for a higher foot, also optional.The television will sneak 124.3 cm high instead of 79.7 cm with the short foot sold by default.Finally, be aware that it is also possible to opt for a light gray or graphite fabric that covers the sound bar and the trunk.Obviously, we can also fix the TV on the wall.

Class, very high class ...

The ignition of the TV is in itself a real spectacle, it rises on its own in the air to reveal a 120 W sound bar (six speakers and four passive membranes).The slab, for its part, is flat and smoked with a very effective anti -reflective filter, even if we hoped for a little more absorbent in view of the declarations made during the announcement of the Bild 7 series.As a reminder, Loewe had announced an anti -reflective treatment treatment, directly inspired by the term Vantablack, the darkest material ever created by humans.This coating consists of tubular particles which absorb up to 99% of light in order to limit reflections and strengthen the perceived contrast and therefore, the dynamics of the enlightened image.In fact, the reflections are very contained, but not completely absent.

An ultra-functional television with a rich connection

Difficult to be more complete than the equipment of the Bild 7.55… Indeed, not only does this television have a very rich connection, but it also has a hard drive." >HDD 1 To pour enregistrer les programmes TV ou télécharger quelques contenus, photos, musiques ou vidéos.There is also a dual DVB - C/DVB - T2 and DVB - S2 tuner with h compatibility.265 and H.264 to enjoy HD and Ultra HD channels.Loewe offers many functions to improve user comfort and use this double tuner:

• Loewe Smart Assist: an application available under iOS/Android to control, adjust, and program your Loewe TV

• Possibility to record several channels at the same time, an EPG owner or the possibility of sharing the tuner on the person network

• DR+ Streaming: to read TNT/SAT recordings on other devices via UPNP

• Follow Me: Continue watching a film or a program on another Loewe TV

• Mobile Recording: to program a remote recording from a smartphone or tablet

• Instant Channel Zapping: Allows a very fast zapping from one chain to another using the second tuner (on the condition of zapping on the channels directly below or above that on the screen)

• Medianet: Internet portal that brings together some applications, among others VOD Amazon, YouTube, Tidal, Webradios, Internet browser, Deezer, Iconcert, Berliner Philarmoniker and access to the Gallery app

• Digital media Rendering customer/server: possibility of accessing multimedia content stored on NAS hard drive, but also to share multimedia content stored on HDD on the personal network.Only the UPNP network protocol is supported, no samba or NFS

Know that it is possible to customize the interface to display your favorite channels, applications and content or even quick access to the devices connected to TV.That said, the number of applications is still a little limited, we regret the absence of Netflix or Plex which are more and more used.

Zoom on connectors

The connection brings together four HDMI2 inputs.0A HDCP 2 certified.2, 2,160p/60 and HDR.On the other hand, at the time of carrying out this test, the television was not compatible HDR10, nor Dolby Vision.Loewe should add Dolby Vision compatibility in early 2017, then HDR10 compatibility one later.A curious choice, especially in the presence of an ultra hd blu - ray disc, the lack of HDR10 compatibility inevitably generates a conversion of the.2020 Rec.709.Unfortunately, the only reader capable of keeping the.2020 in SDR, the Oppo UDP - 203EU, was not yet available when we carried out this test.

Apart from this limitation, all HDMI connectors are well compatible 2,160p/24, 3D, Deep Color, CEC, PIP (and Arc for one of them).

The rest of the connection brings together two Ports CI+, two USB 2 ports.0, a USB 3 port.0, an optical output, a RCA stereo, a headphone output on mini - jack 3.5 mm, a micro -AV port (adapter for Yuv, Sadl and Sub -D15), an Ethernet port, an RS - 232C interface with connectorRJ45 and a Digital Audio Link Connector Owner.Obviously, the Wi -Fi and Bluetooth functions are integrated.
