Loewe has introduced the Antares, a new 4K OLED TV the company is pitching as its most customizable smart OLED set yet. The headline feature is modularity: buyers can choose interchangeable aluminum onlays, different fabric colors, and a wide range of installation options, including wall mounts, floor stands, and a rotatable table stand with three height positions.
Audio is a big part of the pitch. The TV includes Loewe’s Invisible Sound speaker system, but it can also be paired with the 80W Loewe Soundbar Antares, an optional subwoofer, and other Loewe audio products such as the multi.room amp, Klang subwoofer, We.BOOST wireless surround sound system, and we.BOOST center speaker. Loewe says the TV itself can also serve as the center speaker in a wireless surround setup.
Loewe Antares specs and features
According to Loewe, each 4K OLED panel is “individually calibrated before leaving the factory.” The company told TechRadar the set uses an OLED EX panel with Double Rate Driving technology from LG Display, with Loewe handling the final manufacturing work itself.
The Antares supports Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive. It also includes a dual-channel, triple-tuner setup with USB recording, parallel TV viewing, and timeshift. The software runs a customized version of Vidaa OS, with key streaming apps plus Apple AirPlay, Miracast, and Matter support.
For gaming, the TV offers HDMI 2.1, 4K at 144Hz VRR, and a dedicated low-latency gaming mode. Sizes range from 42 inches to 77 inches.
