Loewe challenges Bang & Olufsen in the luxury segment with the new Reference ID model, and Loewe is not afraid to call it a Masterpiece.

In the design phase Loewe has worked together with Italian Fazioli, a manufacturer of pianos, to demonstrate how buyers can customize the TV by changing its front, side and back. Loewe’s first customer is Prince Alexander of Schaumburg-Lippe who has ordered a very special edition of the TV – you can do the same.

The standard model has a minimalistic design with an aluminum frame and a black backside. From here you can individualize the TV and select from a range of front speakers fabrics, different aluminum frames, and different materials for the backside. Loewe also enables customers to have text engraved or to add other design elements. Lastly, an option to install LED backlighting behind to TV is mentioned.

The first highlight is the triple TV tuner that allows users to record one TV shows while watching a different on. Recordings are stored on a 1 TB hard drive and all recorded shows are available on other Loewe TVs in the home – either via cable, WiFi or powerline.

You can control everything with the remote control or via Loewe’s iPad app called Loewe Assist Media. One of the features is the advanced EPG (electronic program guide) in which all TV channels are available to browse. Once you have found your desired TV show you simply click play and it starts on the actual TV screen.
