vr gaming couch gaming tabletop gaming board gaming this room does it all
or it will you see beneath its tidy organized
facade is a veritable chaos zone of straps
adapters cables game consoles controllers and all
other manner of accessories that i need to turn into a cohesive gaming
experience and oh at the center of all of it is
going to be lg's qned mini led lg
sponsored this video and this bad boy will hold over a thousand nits in a 25
window that coupled with features like auto low latency mode extremely low
input lag and accurate colors are gonna make this the perfect centerpiece for
this space because as you guys may or may not have noticed there's a lot of
freaking bright Windows coming into this room meaning that a low brightness tv is
not really gonna cut it oh look at this the cavalry's here
i'm obviously gonna need some help oh i was about to say help from our sponsor
but our sponsors lg roll the intro
the first thing we're gonna need is your geek squad skills jamie that's right
you're mounting another tv why not but this one presents some special
challenges see we thought lg was gonna send the 86-inch version of this which
is an amazing set but we got the 75 that's why Jake got a wall mount that
weighs over 50 freaking pounds team lift
meanwhile Dan you and i actually get the worst job oh crap we get to move the
foosball table which prepare yourself weighs about a thousand pounds i don't
think i'm that strong and clear all the camping stuff out of here so first
things first let's get this moved over that way oh he was lying well it feels like it to
me the thing about being really slow to put away your christmas stuff is by the
time you put it away it's almost time to take it back out again
there's not really anywhere to pile this stuff in here yeah there's some right
here oh my gosh in all seriousness how
do you want this organized there's no plan it's real ah
i mean i get it you're new here you figure ah it's gotta be just an act the
way he is on camera
organized free guess is what this is suppository clear evidence that i have
small children that's what i was going for
close though hello homeowner where would you like me to hang the tv oh my god can
you just dial back the geek squad for
for 10 minutes you said i had to use my geek squad skills where would you like
me to hang it then tell me it's too high
here's what i'm thinking we're probably going to end up with the 86 inch version
of it at some point because it's a pretty big wall but we also have to
consider that this can't go too far that way yeah so that we have access to the
vacuum hose plug and then it can't go too far this way
because this grille right here is the air return for the hvac we've got both
power and network and a recessed wall plate here so that we could even mount
something like a completely flat gallery style tv we've got a conduit here that
runs two locations it runs down to the
bottom so if we wanted to have an av receiver
or something like that in the console it would wait what holy crap did they not
oh they didn't punch the hole for it no okay we'll have to find that yeah boy
wait oh i see wait what the the
hell was their intention here oh my god oh it's right behind the whites it just
it's right behind the electrical socket why would they do that all right uh you
as you can um it's not that ain't gonna work
yeah this is stupid you want me to take the
thing off uh yeah i should kill the breaker here though uh were you about to
stick a screwdriver in there yeah whatever it's 120 volts between friends
yeah if we share it it's only half this one's tripped
something's singing yeah it's the microwave uh the breaker apparently
tripped no no these are these are not the right
ones no no no
no no all right yeah
wait so it's off yeah it's off we found where the fish wire comes out
yeah but it appears to be just like a hole in the wall there's not no actual
conduit in there oh good yeah we have no idea if that's going where we think it
is but the fish wire seems to know where it is yeah this is not very
professionally done um in my opinion
are low voltage contractors watching you heard me i wouldn't have done it that
way but i'm also not a low voltage contractor
why is nothing ever simple that's what i'd like to know
oh there it is okay okay i guess it works there's just no point
of egress for it no and there was no
plan for HDMI other than just what you
kind of run it like bare back right next
to the freaking metal contacts like i don't understand what they what their
intention was also they kinked this cat6a in a couple of spots oh nice screwdriver
thanks it's going to be ltteststore.com eventually someday we are going to take
the tv out of the box Dan and i we're gonna measure up the the plate on the back of
the tv Dan doesn't know how to use a knife that's fine and then we're gonna
see how it's gonna sit on the wall we'll use the template for that while they're
working on that i am finally
going to replace my ancient nf s12a fans
with these nfp12 reduxes they're better
for static pressure which i actually found was a problem because i've got a
grill in the bottom here that made it so that it's quite a bit more restrictive
this is the compartment that contains the vr gaming pc by the way whatever you
do don't break the sponsor tv that's a good idea it's a thick boy that's how
you get full array local dimming though it uses an ips panel and then it has a
mini led array behind it that will selectively dim in the darker parts of
the scene and selectively brighten in the brighter parts of the scene to
achieve a much much better than native contrast ratio natively this thing will
do a little over a thousand to one according to ratings.com and then with
the most aggressive local dimming setting it'll do more like six thousand to one andy i'm gonna put the arms on
the back of the tv and Dan's going to throw the instructions away because we
don't read them anyway but why we're doing that is so that we can take a
measurement so that we know uh where the tv is going to sit on the
wall Dan have i ever told you how many tvs i've mounted well judging by your
experience maybe one or two at least at least two it's like somewhere between
six and eight hundred i did it for four days a week
ten hours a day two years now i get to continue doing that no i'm letting you
do it this time oh there appear to be plenty of studs to choose from well
there's four in this room nice
this is gonna be way better ah not only did i upgrade the fans
but i also got these cool little noise isolating
thingamaboobers that cover the entire frame of the fan so we shouldn't have
any vibrations from these bad boys i don't think my arms are long enough to
reach both sides oh slenderman you need slender man no i'm good i got it
slenderman's useless i wish i had put this tool kit somewhere
else all right those aren't going anywhere
cool hey Linus do you want to be upset about something Dan wants to make you
upset sorry what this is about where the bottom of the tv is going to sit roughly
the bottom of the tv is going to be here yeah that's way too tall so we can take
this and just bring it down until it's like yeah
uh-huh or we could just hang it above the fireplace as god intended
disgusting that might actually function Dan we're
gonna do it like we did the projector screen where we completely mess up the
magnet holes and then have to put the thing on twice how many tvs have you
done 800 or so i don't know you're the one measuring there kiddo so it's gonna
be slightly off center you okay with that Linus i mean well the choice
the uh the full motion part of it will make it on center but also the plate
will slide on the on the watchmaker oh wait no it won't oh the hoojima doodles
because what we could do is take this off yeah and then have a horrible horrible
hole in the wall like that one what why is it that every time i tune into what
they're saying it's something awful something awful yeah well um so where's
the sledgehammer and then we'll make a bigger hole also don't let him see this
don't yeah don't let him see that why don't we sort through here and figure
out what some of the key items that need to go in the console are we've got the
wii u network switch this will do 10 gig to
the main computer here and then a 10 gig link back to the house and one gig to
everything else that's from ASUS uh oh vr trackers this is a vive tracker 2.0
and a track belt so this gives me hip presence in vr
that's why i can never lie in vr og shield a big fat heavy one ultimately
all gonna have to be wired in somehow
ow that ain't going anywhere can you try
and hang off it then like nathan drake
oh my goodness you guys are putting the tv on yeah uh do you need help can i
help nope we're done what that was it doesn't look very done uh i guess it's a
good time to mention the anti-glare coating on the front of the screen
uh yeah it's not on right now but that's another thing that the additional
brightness will help with is reducing glare from these Windows back here wow
in spite of the weight um hey credit to this mount
it's pretty manageable actually i kind of have access to the conduit
hole here okay this tv is officially
never coming this far out from the wall again because i am going to need some more
slack there comes a time in every man's life when he must move the stand closer to
the wall yeah that's that's what i was going to say
oh what what you tried you tried to rip it
oh well that was close yep
oh we good oh look at that look at that
and then yeah freaking easy all right our tascam's
batteries are dead so we're filming on my cellular telephone he's um currently
taking down a lighthouse for Linus's
vhar unit now we're gonna go up in the attic and take that wire
oh down oh yeah Dan is currently engulfed in
whatever that is it doesn't taste good it's trapped
behind a thing i have to go deeper in yes i'm gonna get very very fluffy i
hope nothing bites me it goes through the wall where is this moving anything
over there where you are yes oh can you
pull some black wire Dan has emerged from the attic more fluff than man
Dan tell me how they taste like what oh
no ah
success oh god damn how would you rate our success today
yes yes yes out of five yeah five out of
seven perfect perfect score all right i'm hoping to just transplant my old
harmony remote setup here and just pick up right where i left off so it's
one button to select all the right inputs and outputs and
you know power on devices power off devices if not i'll have to find another
solution there are other universal remotes that exist now that logitech
shuttered the harmony division or i could just rely on cec but the issue is
that with a pc relying on cec which is
where you power on one device and it tells the associated devices to power on
is that pcs are just not really designed with that in mind so what you need is
one of these old microsoft ir receivers and then you can tell it to issue a
sleep or wake command to the computer so
that it won't just be sucking back 100 watts all the time it's got a 3080 in
there soldering some wires and then Dan and i are going to try and figure out
how this thing works some kind of transfer
always make sure that when you're working on high voltage electronics you
use a metal chair so that if you screw up you don't have to do it anymore or
come to work again this is a really neat little box it's basically
a 12 volt distribution block it'll deliver about an amp to
what looks like 18 different sources yeah so we're plugging all of the
lighthouses into this yeah we're definitely doing that wall warts in here
well i put the transformer in and that didn't immediately explode so sick let's
try it with this okay ready
i see it something just happened oh
the light flashing oh it's moving is there a laser inside there there is a
laser and there's a little motor and it spins the laser and it blinds it oh
don't don't breathe that don't breathe okay we're done it's like there's a law
against everything going right in a vlog two out of our four power cables for the
vr base stations are dead in some way this one doesn't appear to terminate
anywhere and the one over on this side
seems to have gotten a nail through it at some point because we can find the
other end of it but can no work
no power the good news is
hey lg good job the tv managed to turn on so that's awesome
but there is a bit of extra work that i'm to have to do because
an excellent attempt was made at cable managing and installing everything into
the console but this computer
does not go in like that because the intake is right here so it needs to sit
right side up so it can draw that fresh air from the bottom fans in
uh let's go oh wow look at this this door is gonna come
off too freaking fantastic thanks wayfair is
this one from wayfair yeah i do yeah
thank you ah wonderful and let's never do that again
here's something special about this machine it's got this old i believe it's made by
sonnet old usb card that has an
individual controller for every one of the four ports
having more than one of these on a single controller and some motherboards
might have two or maybe three controllers but having them share with
any other devices can lead to unexpected problems so i've given each of them
their own dedicated usb controller
freaking ridiculous
there we are that is a couch come on oh man it's
almost like that's how you use a couch are we trying to make things look pretty
for the video or are we just trying to go for functional how about pretty
functional well i have one thing that might make it
look better which is really easy a carpet what a good idea yeah let's do
the carpet okay now we go we are not centered
not even a little we'll fix it in post i had these grand designs about how i was
gonna put little magnetic things and have everything cable managed really
perfectly against the back but instead
we're gonna do classic cable management okay there now it's centered nice i mean
the space is starting to look kind of gamery actually all right let's talk
features finally okay we got dolby vision support
we've got filmmaker mode support uh here if we fire oh you do i have plex
on here heck yeah is this even gonna find my plex server this was last
plugged in at my old place no internet connection what the switch is not
powered oh because i didn't plug it in is the sound
bar kicked in settings HDMI arc device look at that
did it just pick it up no problems i mentioned that it has the alpha 7
processor it does like 4k up scaling this is 4k content anyway but
it has that so that's the reason that i chose to use my old shield that does not
do ai upscaling here and then i've got my new shield over in the theater room
actually the glare is not that bad which is exactly the goal in this room
even with the studio lights on motion smoothing is on that's stupid so let's
go ahead and fix that i think there's actually more optimal
setting than off so don't quote me on that but off is one way to make sure
you're not getting any kind of smoothing wow
the HDR looks awesome though
i'm fairly certain it's on it's not even oh wait it's not on you
know ratings said that their sdr readings for this tv were really good
like really bright but wow
that's really bright i thought HDR was enabled well i guess we're sliding all
the way to the right okay and that's better
this looks awesome though not much else to say thanks lg for sponsoring this
video we're going to enjoy many an hour playing games in here
massive shout out Dan and jamie from logistics who were coerced into being
here against their will how much if you enjoyed this video maybe
you'll enjoy the last time lg sponsored a living room facelift pretty cool video
as well stark before and after oh there's your problem your anus ain't
distended enough oh god
