Awards
IF Product Design Award
The iF Design Awards, created in 1953, represent one of the world's leading design competitions. Each year, it attracts over 1,800 participants from 30 different countries. The jury, composed of globally renowned designers, not only examines and selects the chosen products but also adheres to stringent requirements to maintain a high-quality label.
Overview
Founded in Berlin in 1923, Loewe designs and assembles its televisions in its Kronach factory in Bavaria. The Stellar 55 DR+ illustrates this vertical integration: the LG Display open-cell OLED panel is integrated into an in-house module with aluminum back-forming, individually calibrated at the factory, then paired with a diamond-cut machined aluminum frame. 139 cm diagonal in Ultra HD, three rear finishes to choose from, and dual tuner with internal SSD storage.
An OLED panel individually calibrated at the factory
The Stellar 55 uses a latest-generation open-cell OLED panel (LTY module) from LG Display. Peak luminance reaches around 2,200 cd/m² on a 10% HDR window, a high value for OLED technology, which traditionally peaks lower than LCD panels with Mini-LED backlighting. The 1 ms response time and 120° viewing angle horizontally as well as vertically match the expected characteristics of a self-emissive OLED panel: no light halo, absolute blacks, and preserved off-axis uniformity.
Each panel receives individual color calibration at the factory: D65 white point and RGB primaries. The television supports all major HDR formats (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ with Precision Detail mode, HLG) and the extended color gamut. Dolby Vision IQ compatibility adjusts tone mapping according to the room’s ambient brightness.
On the processing side, the video engine handles Ultra HD upscaling, automatic dimming, AI image analysis (AI PQ), adaptive contrast, and native 24p playback for cinema sources.
Three rear finishes to choose from
The chassis stands out with its four-sided aluminum frame, brushed and bevel-machined (diamond-cut). Three versions are offered, identical technically.
The standard brushed aluminum / matte aluminum version maintains a monochrome consistency across all four sides and the rear. The optional brushed aluminum / concrete finish replaces the rear panel with glass-fiber-reinforced concrete, a real material that gives each unit a slightly different mineral texture. The optional black aluminum / lava finish combines a matte black frame with a dark textured back, more discreet on a dark wall or in a room with a strong visual identity.
The signature Loewe flag is affixed to the edge of the frame, protruding by about one centimeter. The connections are concealed at the rear, with integrated cable routing and cover panels in the light gray housing. The depth of only 4.7 cm allows for near-flush wall mounting with the optional slim 432 mount.
Integrated front-firing soundbar
The sound module is a sealed bar with passive membranes, ten transducers in total: six active and four passive radiator drivers. Power is 2 × 20 W RMS, 2 × 40 W music peak, with Class D amplification and two-way filtering. Sound is projected from the front (and not downward as on most flat televisions), which improves dialogue intelligibility.
The audio electronics support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Audio, and DTS HD, with automatic volume, adjustable equalizer, and dynamic loudness. A subwoofer output (3.5 mm jack) is available for adding an active subwoofer. Unlike the 77- to 97-inch models, the Stellar 55 does not have a center input (Cinch L/R), which rules out use as a center channel in a multichannel home cinema setup.
HDMI 2.1 connectivity and gaming compatibility
Connectivity includes four HDMI inputs: two HDMI 2.0b and two HDMI 2.1. The two HDMI 2.1 ports support Ultra HD with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) up to 144 Hz, enough to take advantage of recent consoles and high-end PC graphics cards. HDCP 2.2, HDMI-CEC, ARC, and eARC are supported.
The rest of the connectivity includes two 1 A USB-C ports (rare on a television), one 1 A USB-A and one 2 A USB-A (compatible with the magic.motion accessory), one TOSLINK optical output, one CI+ V1.4 ECP slot, one IEC antenna input, and two F satellite inputs. On the network side: Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Miracast, and Matter are supported, with wake on LAN and wake on Wi‑Fi functions.
Vidaa OS and streaming services
The television runs on os9, the brand’s in-house operating system based on Vidaa. The interface provides access to an app store and the main video-on-demand services: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, YouTube, Deezer, MagentaTV. The TV Channel+ function groups together free ad-supported FAST channels. HD+ and Zattoo are also supported.
Voice control is handled via Vidaa Voice and Alexa Skills. The my Loewe app and the Vidaa Smart TV app allow control from an Android or iOS smartphone. Software updates are carried out via USB or Internet, and a hotel mode is available for installations in hotel rooms or serviced residences.
Dual tuner and Loewe dr+ recording
The Loewe dr+ system is based on a dual-channel chassis and a dual triple tuner (DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S2 HD). This configuration allows you to watch one program while recording another, or to record two broadcasts simultaneously on different transponders. An integrated SSD serves as the recording medium (capacity is not specified for this screen size in the Loewe technical datasheet). Timeshift lets you pause live broadcast, and an external USB drive can serve as backup storage.
DiSEqC and Unicable functions simplify multiple satellite installations, and the CI+ V1.4 ECP slot accepts a module for encrypted channels. Supported video codecs cover MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 (H.264), HEVC (H.265), and VVC (H.266). The program guide supports up to 10,000 channels. The multi-view function (simultaneous display of two sources) is not available on this model.
Home automation, magic.light, and installation solutions
Home automation is managed over IP, with confirmed compatibility for Control4, Crestron, and Basalte, three protocols used in high-end residential installations. The magic.light function illuminates the perimeter of the frame with a signature.ring light ring, adjustable in color (all rainbow colors), brightness, and saturation from the remote control. The animation can accompany power on and power off, or discreetly light the installation area during viewing.
The included tabletop stand swivels manually up to 45° to either side, with concealed cable routing. Several optional accessories allow the installation to be adapted: floor stand motor stellar motorized floor stand (compatible with the magic.motion function that swivels the panel by remote control), flex or universal floor stand for manual rotation, floor2ceiling mount for suspension between floor and ceiling, wall mounts in several thicknesses including the particularly flat slim 432. The VESA 300 × 200 mount remains usable for any compatible third-party mounting system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Stellar 55 DR+ compatible with Dolby Atmos?
Yes. The television decodes Dolby Atmos via its built-in soundbar and can pass the stream to an external audio system via the HDMI eARC output or the optical TOSLINK output. Atmos playback through the built-in speakers alone remains limited by the physical configuration (front soundbar with ten drivers and no dedicated height speakers), even if virtual height processing is applied. For full Atmos playback, an external soundbar with height channels or a multichannel system with height speakers is preferable.
What is the capacity of the built-in SSD for dr+ recordings?
The Loewe technical sheet specifies the capacity of the built-in SSD only for screen sizes from 77 to 97 inches (1 TB). For the Stellar 55 DR+, the presence of an SSD is confirmed, but its capacity is not indicated. For substantial recording needs, an external USB drive can be added in addition via one of the four USB ports (two USB-A, two USB-C). The dual tuner allows the simultaneous recording of two broadcasts on different transponders.
Does the television come with a wall mount?
No. The Stellar 55 DR+ comes with its brushed aluminum swivel tabletop stand, manually rotating up to 45° to either side, with concealed cable management. The wall mount (wall mount stellar, slim 432 or universal) is an optional accessory that must be ordered separately. Only the Stellar 77 to 97 include a wall mount as standard. The VESA 300 × 200 mount remains compatible with any third-party mounting system that complies with this standard.
Which finish should you choose between matte aluminum, concrete, and lava?
The three variants are based on the same technical platform. Brushed aluminum / matte aluminum is the most discreet, monochrome, and mineral, with metal continuity across all four sides and the back. Brushed aluminum / concrete (optional) creates a contrast between light metal and raw material, each unit having its own texture (glass fiber reinforced concrete, not a painted imitation). Black aluminum / lava (optional) is the darkest version, suited to dark walls or rooms where the television should visually recede.
Which consoles and PC configurations take advantage of HDMI 2.1?
The two HDMI 2.1 ports support Ultra HD with VRR up to 144 Hz and ALLM. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, as well as PCs equipped with HDMI 2.1-compatible graphics cards, can take advantage of this for high refresh rate gaming or 4K 120 Hz with variable refresh rate. The other two HDMI 2.0b ports are suitable for standard sources: Ultra HD Blu-ray player, service provider set-top box, older console, satellite decoder.
Is the television compatible with AirPlay and Matter?
Yes to both. AirPlay lets you stream audio and video content from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac directly to the TV, without using an Apple TV. Matter compatibility connects the TV to a multi-brand home automation ecosystem, in addition to dedicated Control4, Crestron, and Basalte integrations managed via IP. Bluetooth and Miracast (for Android and Windows devices) are also supported for wireless streaming.
Is hotel mode available?
Yes. Hotel mode locks certain functions (accessible channels, maximum volume, access to settings) for use in a hotel room, serviced residence, or short-term rental. The software update can be performed via USB or the Internet, and the television integrates standard home automation protocols (Control4, Crestron, Basalte, Matter) to fit into a remotely managed installation.
