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
Making its own OLED modules in a Bavarian factory rather than buying them ready-made: this choice sums up Loewe’s Stellar range. The 65-inch version combines a factory-calibrated panel, a front-facing ten-driver soundbar, and a rear available in aluminum, concrete, or lava finish. Both a television and a decorative object, it embraces a visible presence in the living room.
A factory-calibrated OLED panel
The open-cell panel comes from LG Display, but the OLED module (reference LTY) is assembled and calibrated by Loewe in its factory in Kronach, Bavaria. This in-house finishing partly explains the control exerted over the rendering. The 164 cm (65-inch) panel offers an Ultra HD definition of 3840 x 2160 pixels and reaches around 2200 cd/m² of peak luminance on a 10% HDR window, a level that helps reflections and highlights stand out without washing out the deep blacks characteristic of OLED.
Each unit undergoes individual factory calibration for D65 white and the red, green, and blue primaries. In terms of high dynamic range formats, the Stellar 65 DR+ supports HLG, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, with Dolby Vision IQ mode (including the IQ PD variant) adjusting the picture according to the room’s ambient light. Video processing includes UHD upscaling, AI PQ mode, adaptive contrast, automatic dimming, and 24p support for cinema. The stated viewing angle reaches 120° horizontally as well as vertically, and response time drops to 1 ms.
Aluminum, concrete, or lava on the back
Loewe treats the back of the television as a visible side, not as a shell to hide against a wall. The profile does not exceed 4.7 cm in thickness, the frame is in brushed “diamond cut” aluminum, and the back changes depending on the chosen finish.
The standard version, Alu plus Alu matt, keeps metal on all four sides and on the back, in a light matte tone: the most understated variant. The optional Alu plus Concrete finish replaces the rear panel with real concrete reinforced with fiberglass, whose mineral texture varies slightly from one unit to another. The Alu black plus Lava finish combines a matte black aluminum frame with a textured back in “lava” coating, for dark rooms where the television should blend into the wall. All three rest on the same technical base; only the finish sets them apart.
The included rotating tabletop stand pivots plus or minus 45° and conceals cable routing. Motorized rotation, called Loewe magic.motion, however requires the optional motorized floor stand, which connects via a USB-A port. The Loewe magic.light light strip, hidden in the chassis, animates power-on and power-off and serves as ambient lighting, in warm white or other shades adjustable in intensity.
An integrated front soundbar
Rather than a supplementary speaker aimed downward or backward, the Stellar 65 DR+ features a closed front-firing soundbar housed beneath the panel. It brings together ten drivers, six active and four passive, with two-way crossover filtering and passive diaphragms that extend the bass. Class D digital amplification delivers 2 x 20 W of sinusoidal power and up to 2 x 40 W at musical peak, for a total of 80 W.
Decoding covers Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Digital, and on the DTS side DTS HD as well as DTS:X. Several processing modes support playback: AI AQ mode, an equalizer, dynamic loudness, and automatic volume regulation between sources. If the integrated soundbar is not enough in the bass, a 3.5 mm mini-jack subwoofer output makes it possible to add a subwoofer, with adjustable or fixed audio output level.
The dr+ system for recording and time-shifting
The dr+ initials designate Loewe’s in-house digital video recorder: an integrated SSD that records programs and allows time-shifted playback (timeshift), to pause live television. The dual triple-tuner enables multi-recording, that is, receiving one channel while watching another. The technical sheet does not specify the SSD capacity for this screen size, and multi-view, which would display two sources simultaneously on screen, is not available on this configuration. Recording to a USB flash drive remains possible as an option.
Reception relies on DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S2, and DVB-HD tuners, with DiSEqC, Unicable, and dual-channel support for satellite installations. The television reads MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 (H.264), and HEVC (H.265 and H.266) codecs, supports HD+, Zattoo, HbbTV, teletext, and split screen, and its program guide accepts up to 10,000 channels.
Four HDMI ports and the gaming side
Connectivity includes four HDMI inputs, but they are not equivalent: two comply with the HDMI 2.0b standard, the other two with the HDMI 2.1 standard, with the latter supporting Ultra HD, ALLM, and VRR up to 144 Hz. A gamer equipped with several recent consoles will therefore need to distribute devices while keeping the most demanding sources on the two 2.1 ports. HDMI-CEC, ARC, and eARC are supported, as is HDCP 2.2.
The rest of the equipment is extensive: two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, one TOSLINK optical output, one CI+ V1.4 slot, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Miracast, and Matter, plus Wi-Fi and Ethernet with wake-on-LAN. The audio output can be set to fixed or variable level and includes a subwoofer output. For controlled installations, the Stellar 65 DR+ can be managed over IP and recognizes Control4, Crestron, and Basalte protocols.
The os9 interface and online services
The television runs on os9, Loewe’s system based on Vidaa. The interface provides access to an app store and preinstalls the main video-on-demand services: Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Deezer, and MagentaTV. Free channels in FAST format go through the TV Channel+ portal. Voice control relies on Alexa Skills and VIDAA Voice, and the my Loewe app serves as an additional remote control from a smartphone.
Menus and help are available in 34 languages. A media player, DLNA client, and web browser are present, along with parental control, timer, automatic shut-off, and hotel mode. Software updates are carried out via USB flash drive or over the Internet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the included stand rotate motorized?
No. The table stand supplied with the television rotates manually, over a range of plus or minus 45°, and conceals the cable routing. Motorized rotation at the touch of a button, the Loewe magic.motion function, requires the motorized floor stand sold separately. The latter plugs into the television’s USB-A 2.0 A port to be controlled from the remote control.
Can the Stellar 65 DR+ be mounted on the wall?
Yes. The television supports a VESA 300 x 200 wall mount. With a profile 4.7 cm thick and a weight of approximately 20.5 kg without the stand, it is suitable for wall mounting, provided that a mount suited to this weight is used. A Kensington lock is included for security, and the supplied power cord measures 2.5 m.
How can I add bass to the TV sound?
A dedicated subwoofer output in 3.5 mm mini-jack format allows you to connect an active subwoofer without an external amplifier. The audio output level can be set to fixed or variable mode depending on the connected equipment. The integrated soundbar already handles bass through its passive radiators, but a separate subwoofer provides additional low-end presence in large rooms or for movie soundtracks.
Do you need an external decoder for satellite television?
No, satellite reception is integrated. The Stellar 65 DR+ includes DVB-S2 tuners and a dual triple tuner, and supports the DiSEqC, Unicable and dual-channel protocols required for multi-LNB or shared-dish installations. It also receives terrestrial TV (DVB-T2), cable (DVB-C) and digital radio. One IEC antenna input and two F-type satellite inputs are provided on the rear.
What is its energy efficiency class?
The television is classified in category E, with an index of 0.697 in SDR and 0.749 in HDR. The stated consumption reaches 79 kWh per 1000 hours in SDR and 85 kWh per 1000 hours in HDR. In standby, it drops to 0.4 W, and to 0.0 W once switched off thanks to the power switch. Its EPREL registration number is 2180883, which can be consulted to verify the official energy label.
Does it integrate with a home automation system?
Yes. The Stellar 65 DR+ can be controlled via IP and recognizes Control4, Crestron, and Basalte systems, making it compatible with an integrated installation managed by an installer. On the consumer side, support for Matter, AirPlay, and Bluetooth makes it easy to connect with other devices in the home. Wake-on-LAN, over both Ethernet and Wi-Fi, allows it to be turned on remotely.
What is the difference between multi-recording and multi-view?
Multi-recording means recording one channel while watching another, made possible by the dual triple tuner combined with the system’s dr+ SSD. Multi-view, on the other hand, displays two sources on the screen at the same time, for example two channels side by side. This second function is not available on this Stellar 65 DR+ configuration, whereas multi-recording and time-shifted playback are.
