Loewe Connect - a TV and networked media centre

September 2nd, 2007

At IFA 2007 Loewe have been showing off the Connect - a hi-def LCD TV that boasts a whole raft of functionality from wireless networking through to HD recording. The Connect unit houses a Network Media Player which can look after your photos, tunes and vids stored on a networked PC or storage device all displayed in HD video and audio. It’ll talk quite happily with digital cameras, gaming consoles, HD players or an mp3 player enabling you to hook up just about any device to it. It also comes with a USB port for any other toys you have left over, VGA port for PC connectivity or use one of the two HDMI ports to connect your PC if it has a DVI port. Oh yes there’s even an interface to enable you to view encryted Pay-TV channels.

Just when you think there can’t be any more, the DR+ model also sports an integrated hard disk recorder for storing all that great HD TV you’ll be watching on this sucker.

And just when you’d forgotten what this whole puppy was really about there’s the 1920 x 1080 LCD display which comes in three flavours, from 32 inch through 37 onto a 42 inch version.

There’s no pricing available on this sucker as yet but I’ll be sure to let you all know as soon as I do - this baby looks like a winner.
