Beoplay V1 vs Loewe Connect ID

51 replies

Has anybody reviewed or compared both TVs?

I would like to have your thoughts especially about sound performances : is it ID 32 < BPlay 32 < ID 40 < BPlay 40 (according to the specifications)?

Hi benoit i have just ordered a loewe connect id in the 40" if more funds were availible it would have been the 46" without hesitation, the picture quality on it is simply amazing.

I was really interested in getting the v1 even looking past the looks but the lag on gaming is terrible i know some on here don't play videogames but me and my family do.

What i did like about the v1 though was the picture and sound quality but if i'm honest and this is only in my opinion i think that the loewe connect edges it ever so slightly... i have seen them side by side when i was in harrods some time ago and they were both displaying the same image which was a tennis match and the loewe looked sharper and  more detailed and had less blur when the ball was travelling.

Now i don't know if it is down to the 200hz processor the loewes using compared to the v1s 100hz processor but it did produce a very stable and crisp picture. I'm not saying the v1 is bad in anyway because it isn't but in my view the connect is that little bit better whilst actually looking more visually attractive too.

The sound quality on this tv is also very good with decent bass from the down firing woofers and clear sounds from the front speaker.

On the 31 of august they are holding the IFA 2012 event in berlin where they will be showcasing the new loewe individual led tvs, they have drastically reduced the bezel which looks beautiful they are also making it availble with an 750gb hardrive built in 400hz motion compensation and they will also have 4 hdmi inputs they also have a new styled remote it has alot less buttons and is smaller.

I hope this info is of some help to you.

 

Thank you for your reply.

I have seen pictures of the coming New Individual but I don't need the built in hard drive and the price will be to high for me.

What I 'm looking for is a TV with a good sound that I can use as well for listening to some music in a 20sqm room with a descent quality.

I think that you would be alright with the either the v1 or connect id then, it will come down to your  personal taste and requirements.

There is quite a nice warm bass on the loewe it has 80watts of power i don't think that it betters the v1 in terms of sound quality but it is sufficient and still very good...

 

But I think that maybe the ID 40 has a better sound than the V1-32 for lower price.

I think it would be more powerful than the 32" v1.

I think I'll go for the ID 40 then...

I think b&o didn't do their homework properly on the target market here. Most young people who might be interested in thus tv probably play games on their tvs. Gaming seems to be terrible on the V1 due to picture lag.

Its  certainly put me off.

It didn't put me off at all. I am relatively young (27) and have no interest in computer games. I'd rather be playing guitar, reading, exercising or cooking every time. Each to their own! No regrets whatsoever - I love using the V1 everyday (which is 75% for music I'd say).

I'm pretty sure you're the exception to the rule.

Gaming is a big part of people's social lives nowadays.

About time bno realised that. Apple do.
