The new Leica Cine 1. Home cinema in its most beautiful form.

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor for Leica in the Netherlands, introduces the new generation of Cinema TV: the Leica Cine 1. It’s the details that turn a projection into a home cinema experience: the image, the sound, the ambience.

The innovative Cine 1 is the first Leica cinema TV to bring the highest Leica quality standards to life in moving pictures. When combined with the outstanding Dolby Atmos^® surround system, it creates a unique cinematic atmosphere. Maximum connectivity, innovative product features and intuitive operation ensure easy handling, while the Cine 1 boasts a highly impressive modern design. Thanks to its ultra-short-throw lens, the Leica Cine 1 can be integrated into the living room in a space-saving manner close to the wall, while its elegant aluminium body in the authentic Leica look elegantly blends into its surroundings as a classic style icon.

Distinguished with the iF Design Award

The Leica Cine 1 received the iF Design Award 2023 for its outstanding product design, making it one of the winners of this year's competition. The iF Design Award has been a globally recognised hallmark of outstanding design for many decades and is one of the most important design awards in the world.

Featuring exceptional optical performance, the Leica Cine 1 surpasses the standards set by the latest generation of cinema TVs and combines brilliant Leica picture quality in 4k on 80, 100 or 120-inch displays with the impressive Dolby Atmos^® surround system, intuitive handling and user-friendliness. At its core is the projection system with triple RGB laser technology, which features a long service life of over 25,000 hours and low energy consumption. This is complemented by the sophisticated optical system manufactured in accordance with Leica standards for cinematic experiences, as well as the unmistakable character and outstanding quality of a Leica image. The combination of breathtaking video and audio quality creates an authentic cinematic ambience that fills the room. Pleasant on the eye and powerful, the depth and width of colour are impressive from edge to edge, delivering nuanced, vibrant colours and sharp contours – even in bright ambient light.

Maximum connectivity with unprecedented image quality

The epitome of connectivity: the Leica Cine 1 incorporates the full range of state-of-the-art features found on a classic smart TV, such as an intuitive smart TV interface with voice control, an integrated triple tuner, Apple AirPlay and direct access to streaming platforms. Whether you’re watching films or television, gaming or managing your personal movie collection, the Leica cinema TV combines maximum connectivity with the excellence of the Dolby Atmos^® surround system and Dolby Vision. The Filmmaker Mode^TM shows films in the unfiltered original version. For the best possible projection, Leica recommends high-contrast screens with ALR (ambient light rejection), which are mounted on the wall and precisely matched to the Leica Cine 1. Those who prefer more flexibility can opt for motorised roll-up screens for short-throw projectors. These screens are ideal for installation in furniture.

Featuring an iconic design, clean lines and sophisticated functions, the Leica Cine 1 follows the purist Leica design philosophy in every detail. The sustainable design combines master craftsmanship with classic shapes and high-quality materials to create a precision product. This is evident in everything from the durable aluminium housing and the automatic dust cover to the perforated loudspeaker cover and the integrated iconic red dot.
