German manufacturer Loewe has launched the Antares OLED television series, positioning it as a more accessible alternative to its flagship Stellar range.
Design Customization and Modular Mounting
Loewe continues its focus on interior-integrated hardware with the Antares series. Unlike standard mass-market televisions, these units feature minimalistic core frames that support interchangeable black or silver aluminum overlays. According to Loewe, the range is designed for high-end residential integration, supporting floor-to-ceiling pole mounts, wall brackets, and motorized floor stands that allow users to adjust viewing angles via remote control. This modularity allows the television to function as a focal point or a discreet component, depending on the user’s room layout.
Did you know?
The Loewe Antares series is designed to act as a center speaker in an expanded home cinema setup, allowing users to build their audio environment incrementally as their budget permits.
Engineering and Display Performance
Each OLED panel in the Antares line undergoes individual calibration at Loewe’s factory in Kronach, Germany. This in-house engineering is intended to ensure color accuracy and contrast levels are optimized before the product reaches the consumer. The displays provide support for high dynamic range formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. For gamers, the series includes support for 144Hz refresh rates and variable refresh rate (VRR) technology over HDMI. The sets also feature an Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which automatically shifts the display into a high-performance preset when a gaming console or PC source is detected.
Audio Flexibility and Smart Integration
While the Antares series includes built-in “invisible” speakers, Loewe offers an optional £300/€300 Antares soundbar that provides 80W of front-firing stereo audio. For users seeking more robust sound, the television can be integrated with Loewe’s external audio solutions. Smart features are powered by the proprietary Loewe os9 operating system, which includes native integration for major streaming platforms such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Spotify. Additionally, the integrated dual-channel platform supports USB recording and time-shifting functions.
