Loewe puts on the style with designer HDR flatscreens that won’t dominate your room

Lowew bild c.43 4k HDR is a stylish purple living room

Premium German TV manufacturer Loewe has launched the bild c, a lifestyle LED LCD flatscreen that’s big on style, but low on bloat.

Available in bijou 32- and 43-inch screen sizes, the Loewe bild c models boast a streamlined design, with soft edges in basalt grey and light-reflecting chrome stand. The TV cabinet includes crafty cable routing, ensuring unsightly leads are hidden from sight. The idea is to blend into a variety of spaces, regardless of interior style. 

There’s a choice of standard TV pedestal, wall-mount or furniture-free TV stand.

Buyers have a choice of either a 32-inch HD TV, or a 43-inch 4k model. Both are compatible with HDR sources, although only the 43-incher supports Dolby Vision.  The 43-inch model features four HDMI v2.0, while the 32-incher has just three HDMIs, with eARC standard on both iterations. 

Despite their relatively small size, both flatscreens take audio seriously, with a built-in soundbar features a quartet of drivers and 2 x 30W amplification. There’s support Dolby Atmos audio, plus Bluetooth, so the set can be used to play music streamed from a smartphone.

 The Loewe bild c.43 retails for £1,499, while the c.32 sells for £1,069.
