Ah, going for a bit of nominative determinism there…
It’s not quite up there with the chef called Tom Kitchin, or four-time world tree-climbing champion Scott Forest, but there is something quite apt about this month’s Stuff Icon being called the Iconic. It’s not just here because of the name, though. Loewe has made this eye-catching telly, which comes in either grey or white, out of ‘Syno-Stone’. You won’t find that on the periodic table but it looks like concrete and is formed from recycled materials that can be recycled again, although probably not in your normal wheelie bin.
Would it even fit?
Good point – the Iconic comes in 55in or 65in screen sizes, so you’d struggle to squeeze it in with your tuna cans and plastic bottles. But it’ll look better in your lounge than in the bin anyway: the easel-style chassis houses a 4K OLED screen that supports HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision, so the picture should look just as good as the set. If you don’t want to spoil the effect by plugging in a load of boxes, there are dual tuners inside plus a 1TB hard drive, so you can watch one channel while recording another.
