Essential Install | TVs
DID YOU KNOW : One of the first original television programmes in America was The Television Ghost , ( 1931 ), which featured an actor dressed as dead people telling the stories of their murders
AGATH TVs provide multiple integration and placement options motorised floor stands available in matching graphite grey . A newly designed GUI is also on-board to guide the user around the screen ’ s enhanced capabilities . Loewe ’ s DR + hard drive also acts as a video server accessible from other Loewe TV sets on the network . The TV ’ s triple-tuner , dual-channel configuration allows viewers to watch one channel while following a second in picture-in-picture mode and recording a third on the hard drive . Loewe also offers built-in wireless multi-room functionality , enabling live TV and audio to be streamed from one Loewe set to another , similar to Sky Q . The screen is less than 7mm thick and is available in 55in and 65in models ( with the maker strongly hinting at a larger size in Q2 ) and is well suited to when that bit of class and sophistication is needed that the mainstream brands can ’ t deliver .
Loewe also points to another of its creations , the Bild 9 , a top-end ‘ concept ’ TV that takes all the Bild 7 ’ s tech and builds it into a designer ‘ frame ’ available in both wall-mounting and floor-standing varieties . This variation has been created by Bodo Sperlein , London-based product designer and also Loewe ’ s creative director . First showcased at IFA 2016 , the set will be available in June . Not as important in terms of volume as the Bild 7 , the Bild 9 is intended as a statement piece to show what can be achieved by a manufacturer like Loewe and this pimped out version will be available in wall-mount , table stand and floorstanding forms in a choice of gold or graphite finishes .
Loewe also says that another exciting range will be released to support the Bild 7 and 9 in the summer of this year , details soon .
