Loewe Stellar 83 DR+

Assembling an OLED panel in a Bavarian factory, framing it in faceted-cut aluminum, and integrating a front-firing soundbar: the sixth generation of the stellar range pushes this approach to a 210-centimeter diagonal. The Stellar 83 DR+ combines a factory-calibrated Ultra HD picture, a dual-tuner recording system, and a finish that embraces its presence in the room, where many large televisions try to go unnoticed.

A factory-calibrated OLED picture

The panel is an LG Display open-cell OLED (LTY module), assembled and finished by Loewe in its Kronach factory in Bavaria. Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels across a 210 cm diagonal, with a 1 ms response time and a 120-degree viewing angle both horizontally and vertically.

Each panel undergoes individual calibration at the factory, for D65 white point and RGB primary colors. The Stellar 83 DR+ supports HLG, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, the latter in its IQ version (with IQ PD), which adapts the picture to the room’s ambient light. The wide color gamut (WCG) rounds out this support.

Typical luminance is around 1100 cd/m² measured on a 10% HDR window, a value better suited to a living room with controlled lighting than to a sun-drenched room. The deep blacks inherent to OLED, with no backlight, remain the main strength in this area. Image processing handles Ultra HD upscaling, automatic dimming, adaptive contrast, AI PQ mode, and cinema-grade 24p playback.

A frame carved from aluminum

The frame surrounds the panel on all four sides in brushed aluminum, with a faceted-cut profile that catches the light depending on the viewing angle. One finish is listed in the catalog for this diagonal: Black Alu, with a dark frame and dark rear panel, pairing a brushed aluminum frame with a matching back. The aluminum rear panel and the 7 cm depth create a flat object, whose width includes the small signature side flag of about 1 cm.

The design comes from the Loewe Design & Innovation Studio and has received iF Design and Red Dot awards. Loewe magic.light adds ambient lighting adjustable in color, intensity, and saturation from the remote control, with a discreet animation when turning on and off. Cables disappear into an integrated management system at the back, which keeps the outline clean once the television is placed or mounted.

A front-firing soundbar

Beneath the lacquered metal grille hides an active soundbar with six drivers, powered by Class D amplification. Output reaches 2 x 75 watts RMS, or 2 x 150 watts peak music power, with a bass-reflex enclosure and two-way crossover. Sound is projected forward, toward the viewers, and not downward as on many flat televisions: voices and dialogue gain presence as a result.

Dolby Audio, Digital, Digital Plus, and Atmos formats are supported, as is DTS HD. Adjustment is handled through an equalizer, automatic volume, AI AQ mode, and dynamic loudness correction. A central Cinch L/R input enables a specific use case: integrating the Stellar 83 DR+ as the center channel of a home cinema setup, where it reproduces dialogue while separate speakers handle the other channels. The eARC output, meanwhile, connects a soundbar or external amplifier with a single HDMI cable.

Dual tuner and SSD recording

The dual-channel chassis and dual triple-tuner form the basis of Loewe’s dr+ system. The tuners cover terrestrial TV (DVB-T2), cable (DVB-C), and satellite (DVB-S2), with DiSEqC and Unicable support for satellite installations. A 1 TB SSD is integrated into the television: silent, fast, and energy-efficient, it serves as the recording medium.

In practical terms, the dual tuner records one channel while you watch another, or captures two programs simultaneously, with a timeshift function to pause live TV. The program guide supports up to 10,000 channels, and the CI+ V1.4 slot accepts an access module for encrypted channel packages. On the decoding side, the television supports HEVC (H.265) and the newer H.266, in addition to standard MPEG formats. Recording to a USB drive remains an option, and the multi-view function is not available on this model.

The VIDAA interface and streaming

The in-house os9 system is based on VIDAA, a fast interface that manages apps and video-on-demand services. The app store includes Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Deezer, and MagentaTV, supplemented by free streaming channels via TV Channel+. Voice control works with Alexa Skills and VIDAA Voice, and the my Loewe app serves as a remote control and a bridge to the television from a smartphone.

The media player, DLNA client, and integrated browser cover local file playback and sharing on the home network. Updates are performed via USB or Internet. The menu is available in 34 languages, and convenience features such as parental control, timer, automatic shutdown, and a hotel mode round out the package.

HDMI 2.1 and gaming compatibility

Connectivity includes four HDMI inputs, two of them to the HDMI 2.1 standard and two to the HDMI 2.0b standard. The two 2.1 ports support ALLM (automatic game mode) and VRR up to 144 Hz, enough to keep up with a recent console or a PC with variable refresh rate. The downside of this distribution: only two demanding 4K high-refresh sources can be connected at the same time via HDMI 2.1, which requires some thought about cabling if you use several machines. HDCP 2.2, HDMI-CEC, ARC, and eARC are all included.

For everything else, the Stellar 83 DR+ offers one USB-A port at 1.0 A and another at 2.0 A, two USB-C ports, Bluetooth, Miracast, AirPlay, and Matter. Network connectivity is via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, with wake-on-LAN. An optical TOSLINK output, a stereo output, and a 3.5 mm jack subwoofer output cover audio needs, at fixed or variable level. Home automation is handled via IP and the Control4, Crestron, and Basalte protocols.

Wall mounting and optional stands

On delivery, the Stellar 83 DR+ comes with its integrated stellar wall mount, in a fixed installation, which positions the television close to the wall for a total depth of 7.1 cm. No table stand is supplied as standard: for placement on furniture, you need the optional table stand motor stellar, which then brings the height to 122.7 cm and the depth to 41 cm. The floor stand motor stellar and the wall mount slim 432 are also among the available solutions.

These motorized stands activate the Loewe magic.motion function: silent rotation of up to 45 degrees to the left or right, triggered from the remote control, to point the screen toward the sofa or the table. Allow 187.5 cm in width for 116.5 cm in height and 7 cm in thickness, and a weight of about 50.8 kg on its own, 52.5 kg with the wall mount. The mount complies with the VESA 400 x 200 standard. The model does not have a Kensington lock.
