Dimplex Opti-V Virtual Flame Electric Fireplaces

The Dimplex Opti-V uses virtual flame technology — a high-resolution video display behind a tinted glass front — to deliver one of the most photographically realistic flame effects available. Available as Opti-V Single (smaller installation) and Opti-V Double (larger linear). The Opti-V is ambiance-only — no built-in heat — making it perfect for warm-climate installations or where supplemental heating isn't needed.

Opti-V Configurations

• Opti-V Single: Compact unit for smaller installations or accent walls
• Opti-V Double: Larger linear unit for living rooms and feature walls

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Dimplex Opti-V produce heat?

No — the Opti-V is ambiance-only. No heat output, just the virtual flame effect. This makes it perfect for warm climates, summer use, and rooms with adequate central heat.

Opti-V vs Opti-Myst — which is better?

Both are top-tier Dimplex products. Opti-Myst uses physical water vapor and looks 3D in person; Opti-V uses video display and looks more like a recorded fire. For most viewing distances, Opti-V is more cost-effective; for close-viewing dramatic installations, Opti-Myst wins.
