Like nearly all Loewe TV sets with new display technologies and screen diagonals starting at 26 inches, Xelos A 42 DR+ can display images in outstanding high definition television (HDTV) quality and features a HDMI interface.

The trend towards large format plasma TVs continues. And with the Loewe Xelos A 42 DR+ you can already prepare for the television of the future – it has an exclusive Loewe hybrid DVB-T / analogue tuner integrated, allowing access to a wide range of programming in premium picture and sound quality. Loewe is the only company in the industry to offer such a wide and attractive range of TV sets featuring integrated receivers for digital television (DVB), a big step ahead of the competition. The new Loewe LCD TVs come from the factory equipped with an integrated digital decoder and an integrated digital terrestrial tuner (DVB-T) as well as a digital tuner for cable reception (DVB-C) – no other brand in the world offers this.

Equally pioneering is the digital High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) including the HDCP copy protect standard for high definition playback quality of digital picture and sound signals from a DVD player, DVD recorder or HDTV receiver. And the newly developed on-screen menu, the Loewe Dialog System, provides logical and intuitive operation thanks to its clearly arranged menu structure.

The resolution of Loewe Xelos A42 HD Ready Plasma TV is 1024 x 1024 pixels. The contrast ratio of 1000:1 is the difference between the brightest white and darkest black. The screen brightness of this TV is 1100 cd/m2. Resolution together with contrast ratio and screen brightness produces clear and bright images that are soothing to the eyes. Hence the quality of the picture produced depend totally on resolution, brightness and contrast ratio. The viewing angle of this model is 170 degrees.

With an Alternate Lighting of Surfaces (ALiS) panel measuring 1,024 x 1,024 pixels, the rear socket count includes an HDMI input, making all-digital pictures from a similarly equipped DVD player possible, as well as HDTV.

Other rear connections include two Scarts,(one RGB) and component video to cater for progressive scan and analogue HD pictures. There’s also a coaxial digital audio in and out, and a common interface slot for upgrading to Top Up TV.A side panel gives camcorder users access to composite connections.

The AV side is far more complete, with component inputs and two Scarts sitting on the rear, and composite/S-video on the left hand panel. Only one of the Scarts is RGB, so you’ll have to put up with poorer picture quality if you plug in a standard DVD player and Sky/Freeview box. Audio connectivity is good though, with stereo audio in/out and coaxial audio in/out on the rear. As coaxial is digital, you can connect your DVD player to the TV with a single cable and enjoy the highest quality sound possible.
