Footage from Batman Begins on Blu-ray is played at 24fps to reduce judder from discs and images are incredibly smooth, although a modicum of motion blur is due to its lack of 100Hz processing.

Image+ processing removes most noise and generally lifts the picture, with colour high on realism and lots of detail on show. Although peak whites are strong, contrast does seem forced, with fine details tending to get lost in 'black hole' areas of the picture.

A blast of Xbox 360 reveals jagged edges and lots of picture noise. A gaming TV this is not.

Versatile LCD

Able to render useless external digital recorders, a satellite receiver or a Freeview set-top box, a media streamer and to some extent a home cinema, the Loewe Connect Media 32 suddenly doesn't look quite so expensive as it originally appeared.

A decent Blu-ray companion in terms of picture and sound, its lack of versatility with digital TV and games makes it a set that's more about style and convenience.
