okay so here's the thing watching movies on the bfgd is pretty cool it's HDR 1000
it can run at any refresh rate so no matter what frame rate your content's
running at it's perfect with no judder or anything like that but it's got a
fundamental flaw it's only available
in a mere 65 diagonal inches
so at risk of becoming you know that guy
today's video is going to be about this
upgrade we are going to be getting ah
the best of all worlds by upgrading to a
120 inch projector screen
and at the same time we're going to be installing a sound system you guys got
this cool that's great with this sub
i sincerely hope we don't end up with
any noise complaints speaking of me sitting here with uh you
know my legs all spread like this our sponsor today mack weldon mack weldon
makes terrific underwear including their antimicrobial silver line that makes it
so that even if your junk stinks your underwear won't stink as bad that's
right antimicrobial so go check out mac weldon and use offer code tech tips 20

not in my face okay so riley i don't know how you got roped into this but no
either here's the plan for today basically it's twofold
we're not actually ditching the tv we still need that 4k
hertz gaming goodness yep but we're going to take this projector screen
and put it in front of the tv because
that's how projectors work so if you want to watch no no no the projector
goes way over here and it fires at it but if you want to watch a movie you use
the projector and if you want to play a game
the projector
yeah and then get some we're doing a 5.1.2
yeah is that right yeah klipsch dolby atmos blah blah blah sound setup this i
can't believe this thing it looks like a weapon
it's the r115s
which means sw for subwoofer 115 for 15 inch the more you know
we won't even need a side table but if you put anything on it it's just gonna
fall off from all the the sick wubs do we have to unbox this
should we call lou or that's only if we have too much unboxing and we're feeling
sick so i haven't had eclipse audio set up since my pro media ultra 5.1 it's a
long story but they were given to me by a previous girlfriend and current
girlfriend didn't like me hanging on to them
now that's a speaker this bad boy will get you at least 55 watts
this is ridiculous yeah and they fit perfectly how much is this setup they
sent over i don't actually know i think the two bookshelf slash monitors
are like 800 bucks just for those two wow this is a little bigger eh
that's what you see one of the thingies so the cool thing about dolby atmos is
that instead of the movie studio having someone go in and manually
code like you know the helicopter moving from here to here and what the mix is
between the left and the right and the rear channels and whatever
else every object that makes sound is instead
just given an exact position in 3d space
and then your dolby atmos receiver which we already have from our last upgrade
here is going to use however many speakers you have and wherever they are
to best approximate the original intent of the movie producer so
these are not as good as if we had more upper
channels and more surround channels but
this already seemed pretty over the top so we can't really fit anything behind
yeah Linus Linus look
these aren't that dissimilar from an actual like an actual weapon like you're
you're comfy you know yeah yeah well you wouldn't use it like that that's for
sure oh that was
you've taken you've taken martial arts haven't you i had kind of imagined just like um like
just like a rollable kind of like a like a vinyl blind
you know off amazon 100 yeah um
so then you reached out to east porter's audio and video and asked them for like
a 700 still tab tension but like just a
regular cheap screen i was like we don't need nothing crazy right
and then they responded with this a 120 inch elune vision 4k reference studio
tab tensioned crazy screen it's got these little metal
tabs that run down the side and a big metal string i'm assuming and a weight
on the bottom and it keeps the screen really flat and so in 10 years hopefully
it still will be perfect how is a projector screen 4k
oh 4k there's the big thing apparently it's just because the fibers are really
fine as opposed to some projector screen so they won't show any grit at all it's
got the finest fibers you've ever seen okay i've never seen fibers this time i
haven't seen any kind of fibers danger wow
must read what shape is that really that's a circle
that's a circle but it's inside a square
you should do a kids tech channel now that's a good idea let's see
this bracket is called an l bracket like
the letter l how many LMG employees does
it take to mount a laser pointer
two
put it in wow that's going to be really big yeah
and you want it bigger okay yep you're all over the place get get a hold
of yourself go drunk you're home
oh man they include drywall anchors
please nobody nobody installed this with
drywall anchors it's only like 30 pounds
tell me a story riley tell me a story all about how my life got twisted upside
down and i'd like to take a minute to tell you about it because it's a crazy
story so take a seat i don't think that's how that goes
okay now my eye hook is on the wrong way here
wow it does not look straight at all really i mean we laser leveled it didn't
we yeah well
hey we don't have enough clearance hey
uh yep that uh uh that camera or the the
the wi-fi antenna camera it looks like a camera all right just so
i'm just gonna take it off for now this is
utter madness so the projector we're using is actually
a rescue from uh a previous project where we mounted it to the front of my
car that was really that was really weird anyway uh this is a more appropriate use for this thing this is
vue sonic's kind of budget 4k projector because it's not really native 4k it
uses pixel shift technology and we know that it's super bright it's 3 500 lumens
so we're going to go ahead we're going to use this puppy and i put nacho fans in it oh yeah it
was a little loud out of the box but check out this upgrade
bam i found the only projector mount i could
get that was long enough to fit underneath that light okay i'm gonna put
the screen back down so we can at least kind of like sanity check the numbers
before we start drilling so i guess flip it upside down uh first
are you gonna hold it upside down i will did you flip it already oh nice
so if we bro it's just can you go to the left a bit
you're in an awkward position
having to hold me up
i was trying not to leave a mark on your
shoulder
brian would have done it like that but like
wait how are you planning to screw this in exactly it goes through the two by
four okay
that's straight enough right oh sure yeah yep
for the record i wanted to make it beefier than this
saturation wire speaker wiring are you making another one of your little
checklists yeah this one's on cardboard so i guess we should start with the first one projector HDMI i was thinking
maybe we use one of those spare wires and like tape it to it and just pull
that wire down yeah the question is how do we figure out which wire is which did
ryan label them maybe he did oh yeah they're labeled wow what a champ oh boy
oh boy sands the 12 feet that are in the wall oh boy uh can i have the tape
oh not quite that wasn't a great throw do you think he uh
stapled these to the wall you have got to be kidding me he wouldn't
he did brian oh we we have no we have no way of doing
this sir this is a super long
HDMI so let's see if we're gonna have enough to go like maybe
over and up or something why don't we start with figuring out exactly how long
it needs to be yeah we would need to add so much to go
over there we need like a second one of these cables okay here Jake if i can
make this shot through that crossbeam then we don't have to move the ladder oh my god
ah
yeah it just explodes all in my face great plan
what's up safety
that would be very safe okay i made myself a better projectile
this time
no no i have an idea it's fine hold on and a three oh
there's three did you do it
sort of i need a stick a very expensive one
hey 10 of 10. so while Jake's getting power for the projector screen sorted
out i'm getting our universal projector mount attached to the bottom of the
projector
nom nom nom nom
ah
guess the label was correct
so for our speaker runs we're using these little aftermarket plugs called
banana plugs and there's no performance reason to do it it's more of just a
convenience thing if you ever have to unplug and replug things
all right that goes
and on whoa ah
all right wow that looks like crap oh yeah
look it's not the perfect length of wire okay this is actually really looks like
it needs to go up not that bad though
okay so there that's up a few inches i am actually getting pretty close
to being ready to call it good ah
so is this basically like the plan uh no they're supposed to go down in the
speaker stand oh all right well that is better i need to do the length first
though so just leave that where it is okay
so all that's left then is the sub the sub the webmaster 5000.
twit
so uh yeah we just need that rca cable over here then and power you tried the
other line oh that worked
it's definitely on now moved some air by my leg here
the gain is at 11 by the way i love that it goes minimum to 11.
okay so it's working
feel like that scene for men it's working
so what we're doing right now is we're it's not perfect but we're doing like a
calibration the receiver is going to listen to the speaker positions and then
adjust the delays this might be a little loud you have the
remote wow
that is so different holy
holy base it's a little overpowering
yeah maybe 11 wasn't the right choice yeah
maybe 11 could be uh
so we got the dolby access app loaded up we got atmos turned on so you can tell
from the indicator up here we did have to make one small adjustment where we
had to set our receiver to output audio only to the speakers not to the speakers
and the tv um that's fine we got that sorted out so
now overwatch hey let's watch that one we should check out uh
check out some of these demos so what you guys are seeing right now is
with filming lights still on with them off
it's actually pretty darn impressive
and shockingly we actually managed to get the position of the projector
pretty much bang on
we're gonna need some light though just so we can see what the crap we're doing
i have no idea what it took for me to make this meeting happen so cinematic
experience pretty damn good i am absolutely blown away by this
projector actually yeah once we have it in a light controlled
environment that is not bad this screen i think costs more than that projector
but i mean the screen is a big part of what makes a projector sound good right
i'm not gonna say like movie theater experience
but like we're getting there we're definitely getting there we're close
yeah we'll be uh we'll be going with that
what is this are they trying to have a story in mortal kombat
it's good man shut up it isn't not it is not
how do i stop stop it
you're so mean
because we're trying to see if it's good and it actually how's your knee Jake i'm
not feeling i'm cooking so many buttons and nothing was happening
i mean obviously we're still gonna game on the bfgd whenever possible but really
not bad so i guess that pretty much wraps up the
movie watching experience upgrade we satisfied i'm pretty satisfied this
is freaking awesome i'm like blown away the one thing i can
think of that we need to do is bring the seats up a little bit and then
we could probably be convinced to upgrade the projector at some point you
know 8k you know whatever maybe if the opportunity i think the input delay on
that came along but man this is freaking unreal i'm
getting a little bit of dlp rainbow effect
but it's certainly hardly noticed i've seen personally far from the worst i've
seen and these speakers are unbelievable yeah
