Opti-V Electric Fireplaces

The Opti V is the most realistic electric fireplace to date with a High Def LED screen. Dimplex makes some of the best electric fireplaces and it seems fitting as founder Dimplex is the original inventor of the modern electric fireplace. It features extremely realistic 3-D fire effects that erupt from behind the screen, appearing to come from the hand-made logs for your viewing pleasure.

Opti Virtual Flame Effect Technology is based on the Pepper’s Ghost illusory technique that is commonly used in theatre productions and haunted houses. This technique uses plate glass and special lighting to make objects seem to appear, disappear, or become transparent.

The Opti-V is arguably the latest and greatest electric fireplace on the market. Awarded the Vesta Award for Best Electric Product at the 2013 Hearth Industry Trade Show, this electric unit continues to push the envelope of innovation. When LCD TV’s were all the rage, many were stunned to realize how much LED TV’s could improve visual performance. In a similar fashion, the Opti-V has set a new standard and raised the bar completely.

The Opti-V uses some of the latest in Electric Flame Technology. Dimplex has been able to capture the realistic sound of a crackling fire, glowing embers, and smoke in an imaginative new product.

The Opti-V has been touted as the most realistic fire effect because of visually enhanced LED Display screen that loops a 30 minute video of a real fire burning. You don’t feel like you’re watching a video. When encased in a stainless steel frame, this level of clarity is utterly amazing.

While heating and fire are typically thought of as inseparable, technological innovation has broken the bond between the two. The heating function of these electric fireplaces can be turned on or off to accommodate both hot and cold weather without losing the entrancing atmosphere created by a soothing combination of crackles and flames.
