WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.640 vr gaming couch gaming tabletop gaming board gaming this room does it all 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:12.960 or it will you see beneath its tidy organized 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.000 facade is a veritable chaos zone of straps 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:23.039 adapters cables game consoles controllers and all 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:27.119 other manner of accessories that i need to turn into a cohesive gaming 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:33.840 experience and oh at the center of all of it is 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.079 going to be lg's qned mini led lg 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:41.280 sponsored this video and this bad boy will hold over a thousand nits in a 25 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.520 window that coupled with features like auto low latency mode extremely low 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.360 input lag and accurate colors are gonna make this the perfect centerpiece for 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.920 this space because as you guys may or may not have noticed there's a lot of 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:59.120 freaking bright Windows coming into this room meaning that a low brightness tv is 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.120 not really gonna cut it oh look at this the cavalry's here 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.080 i'm obviously gonna need some help oh i was about to say help from our sponsor 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.479 but our sponsors lg roll the intro 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:23.360 the first thing we're gonna need is your geek squad skills jamie that's right 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:26.960 you're mounting another tv why not but this one presents some special 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:32.079 challenges see we thought lg was gonna send the 86-inch version of this which 00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:38.720 is an amazing set but we got the 75 that's why Jake got a wall mount that 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.799 weighs over 50 freaking pounds team lift 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:45.280 meanwhile Dan you and i actually get the worst job oh crap we get to move the 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:48.479 foosball table which prepare yourself weighs about a thousand pounds i don't 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.240 think i'm that strong and clear all the camping stuff out of here so first 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.680 things first let's get this moved over that way oh he was lying well it feels like it to 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.040 me the thing about being really slow to put away your christmas stuff is by the 00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.159 time you put it away it's almost time to take it back out again 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:11.200 there's not really anywhere to pile this stuff in here yeah there's some right 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.879 here oh my gosh in all seriousness how 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.200 do you want this organized there's no plan it's real ah 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.840 i mean i get it you're new here you figure ah it's gotta be just an act the 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.050 way he is on camera 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:33.280 organized free guess is what this is suppository clear evidence that i have 00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.120 small children that's what i was going for 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:42.560 close though hello homeowner where would you like me to hang the tv oh my god can 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.640 you just dial back the geek squad for 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.110 for 10 minutes you said i had to use my geek squad skills where would you like 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.760 me to hang it then tell me it's too high 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.239 here's what i'm thinking we're probably going to end up with the 86 inch version 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.959 of it at some point because it's a pretty big wall but we also have to 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:03.280 consider that this can't go too far that way yeah so that we have access to the 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:07.920 vacuum hose plug and then it can't go too far this way 00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:12.640 because this grille right here is the air return for the hvac we've got both 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:16.720 power and network and a recessed wall plate here so that we could even mount 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:22.560 something like a completely flat gallery style tv we've got a conduit here that 00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:24.000 runs two locations it runs down to the 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.159 bottom so if we wanted to have an av receiver 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.400 or something like that in the console it would wait what holy crap did they not 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:38.000 oh they didn't punch the hole for it no okay we'll have to find that yeah boy 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:41.440 wait oh i see wait what the the 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.599 hell was their intention here oh my god oh it's right behind the whites it just 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:51.200 it's right behind the electrical socket why would they do that all right uh you 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.720 as you can um it's not that ain't gonna work 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.200 yeah this is stupid you want me to take the 00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:00.480 thing off uh yeah i should kill the breaker here though uh were you about to 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.720 stick a screwdriver in there yeah whatever it's 120 volts between friends 00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:07.439 yeah if we share it it's only half this one's tripped 00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:14.720 something's singing yeah it's the microwave uh the breaker apparently 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.239 tripped no no these are these are not the right 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:20.560 ones no no no 00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:25.440 no no all right yeah 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:29.919 wait so it's off yeah it's off we found where the fish wire comes out 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.800 yeah but it appears to be just like a hole in the wall there's not no actual 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.400 conduit in there oh good yeah we have no idea if that's going where we think it 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.680 is but the fish wire seems to know where it is yeah this is not very 00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:45.680 professionally done um in my opinion 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.240 are low voltage contractors watching you heard me i wouldn't have done it that 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:53.360 way but i'm also not a low voltage contractor 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.639 why is nothing ever simple that's what i'd like to know 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:04.080 oh there it is okay okay i guess it works there's just no point 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:07.440 of egress for it no and there was no 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.720 plan for HDMI other than just what you 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:12.960 kind of run it like bare back right next 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.080 to the freaking metal contacts like i don't understand what they what their 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.960 intention was also they kinked this cat6a in a couple of spots oh nice screwdriver 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:28.160 thanks it's going to be ltteststore.com eventually someday we are going to take 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.880 the tv out of the box Dan and i we're gonna measure up the the plate on the back of 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:36.000 the tv Dan doesn't know how to use a knife that's fine and then we're gonna 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:40.720 see how it's gonna sit on the wall we'll use the template for that while they're 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:46.400 working on that i am finally 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:49.840 going to replace my ancient nf s12a fans 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:51.919 with these nfp12 reduxes they're better 00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:56.479 for static pressure which i actually found was a problem because i've got a 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.840 grill in the bottom here that made it so that it's quite a bit more restrictive 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.000 this is the compartment that contains the vr gaming pc by the way whatever you 00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:07.600 do don't break the sponsor tv that's a good idea it's a thick boy that's how 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:12.479 you get full array local dimming though it uses an ips panel and then it has a 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:17.199 mini led array behind it that will selectively dim in the darker parts of 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.039 the scene and selectively brighten in the brighter parts of the scene to 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:24.639 achieve a much much better than native contrast ratio natively this thing will 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.240 do a little over a thousand to one according to ratings.com and then with 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:34.800 the most aggressive local dimming setting it'll do more like six thousand to one andy i'm gonna put the arms on 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:38.560 the back of the tv and Dan's going to throw the instructions away because we 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:41.600 don't read them anyway but why we're doing that is so that we can take a 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:46.800 measurement so that we know uh where the tv is going to sit on the 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:51.280 wall Dan have i ever told you how many tvs i've mounted well judging by your 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.000 experience maybe one or two at least at least two it's like somewhere between 00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.080 six and eight hundred i did it for four days a week 00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:05.440 ten hours a day two years now i get to continue doing that no i'm letting you 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.160 do it this time oh there appear to be plenty of studs to choose from well 00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:14.319 there's four in this room nice 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.360 this is gonna be way better ah not only did i upgrade the fans 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.680 but i also got these cool little noise isolating 00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:28.000 thingamaboobers that cover the entire frame of the fan so we shouldn't have 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:32.639 any vibrations from these bad boys i don't think my arms are long enough to 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:37.280 reach both sides oh slenderman you need slender man no i'm good i got it 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.319 slenderman's useless i wish i had put this tool kit somewhere 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.280 else all right those aren't going anywhere 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:48.720 cool hey Linus do you want to be upset about something Dan wants to make you 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:51.599 upset sorry what this is about where the bottom of the tv is going to sit roughly 00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:55.120 the bottom of the tv is going to be here yeah that's way too tall so we can take 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.479 this and just bring it down until it's like yeah 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:02.800 uh-huh or we could just hang it above the fireplace as god intended 00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:06.000 disgusting that might actually function Dan we're 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.599 gonna do it like we did the projector screen where we completely mess up the 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.680 magnet holes and then have to put the thing on twice how many tvs have you 00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:16.639 done 800 or so i don't know you're the one measuring there kiddo so it's gonna 00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:21.199 be slightly off center you okay with that Linus i mean well the choice 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:25.919 the uh the full motion part of it will make it on center but also the plate 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:29.919 will slide on the on the watchmaker oh wait no it won't oh the hoojima doodles 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:35.200 because what we could do is take this off yeah and then have a horrible horrible 00:08:32.479 --> 00:08:38.159 hole in the wall like that one what why is it that every time i tune into what 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:42.240 they're saying it's something awful something awful yeah well um so where's 00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:46.000 the sledgehammer and then we'll make a bigger hole also don't let him see this 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.440 don't yeah don't let him see that why don't we sort through here and figure 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.240 out what some of the key items that need to go in the console are we've got the 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.480 wii u network switch this will do 10 gig to 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:00.720 the main computer here and then a 10 gig link back to the house and one gig to 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:06.240 everything else that's from ASUS uh oh vr trackers this is a vive tracker 2.0 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:12.240 and a track belt so this gives me hip presence in vr 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:20.160 that's why i can never lie in vr og shield a big fat heavy one ultimately 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.160 all gonna have to be wired in somehow 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:25.920 ow that ain't going anywhere can you try 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.000 and hang off it then like nathan drake 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:34.880 oh my goodness you guys are putting the tv on yeah uh do you need help can i 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:38.560 help nope we're done what that was it doesn't look very done uh i guess it's a 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.760 good time to mention the anti-glare coating on the front of the screen 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.720 uh yeah it's not on right now but that's another thing that the additional 00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:51.760 brightness will help with is reducing glare from these Windows back here wow 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:55.120 in spite of the weight um hey credit to this mount 00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:03.120 it's pretty manageable actually i kind of have access to the conduit 00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:04.640 hole here okay this tv is officially 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.680 never coming this far out from the wall again because i am going to need some more 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.640 slack there comes a time in every man's life when he must move the stand closer to 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:16.560 the wall yeah that's that's what i was going to say 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.120 oh what what you tried you tried to rip it 00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:26.800 oh well that was close yep 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.560 oh we good oh look at that look at that 00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:34.720 and then yeah freaking easy all right our tascam's 00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:41.519 batteries are dead so we're filming on my cellular telephone he's um currently 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.240 taking down a lighthouse for Linus's 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.160 vhar unit now we're gonna go up in the attic and take that wire 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:55.760 oh down oh yeah Dan is currently engulfed in 00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:59.519 whatever that is it doesn't taste good it's trapped 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.760 behind a thing i have to go deeper in yes i'm gonna get very very fluffy i 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:07.839 hope nothing bites me it goes through the wall where is this moving anything 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:11.760 over there where you are yes oh can you 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.839 pull some black wire Dan has emerged from the attic more fluff than man 00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:22.480 Dan tell me how they taste like what oh 00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:25.839 no ah 00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:30.800 success oh god damn how would you rate our success today 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:33.519 yes yes yes out of five yeah five out of 00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:39.600 seven perfect perfect score all right i'm hoping to just transplant my old 00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:43.360 harmony remote setup here and just pick up right where i left off so it's 00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:47.040 one button to select all the right inputs and outputs and 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.800 you know power on devices power off devices if not i'll have to find another 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:54.720 solution there are other universal remotes that exist now that logitech 00:11:52.640 --> 00:12:00.160 shuttered the harmony division or i could just rely on cec but the issue is 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.680 that with a pc relying on cec which is 00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:06.800 where you power on one device and it tells the associated devices to power on 00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:11.040 is that pcs are just not really designed with that in mind so what you need is 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:16.399 one of these old microsoft ir receivers and then you can tell it to issue a 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.800 sleep or wake command to the computer so 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:23.040 that it won't just be sucking back 100 watts all the time it's got a 3080 in 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:25.920 there soldering some wires and then Dan and i are going to try and figure out 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:30.240 how this thing works some kind of transfer 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:34.000 always make sure that when you're working on high voltage electronics you 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.519 use a metal chair so that if you screw up you don't have to do it anymore or 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:42.320 come to work again this is a really neat little box it's basically 00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:47.680 a 12 volt distribution block it'll deliver about an amp to 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:52.320 what looks like 18 different sources yeah so we're plugging all of the 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:55.600 lighthouses into this yeah we're definitely doing that wall warts in here 00:12:54.079 --> 00:13:01.920 well i put the transformer in and that didn't immediately explode so sick let's 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:04.720 try it with this okay ready 00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:08.000 i see it something just happened oh 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.680 the light flashing oh it's moving is there a laser inside there there is a 00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:16.480 laser and there's a little motor and it spins the laser and it blinds it oh 00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:19.839 don't don't breathe that don't breathe okay we're done it's like there's a law 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.480 against everything going right in a vlog two out of our four power cables for the 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:29.600 vr base stations are dead in some way this one doesn't appear to terminate 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.200 anywhere and the one over on this side 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:35.040 seems to have gotten a nail through it at some point because we can find the 00:13:32.959 --> 00:13:39.760 other end of it but can no work 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:42.480 no power the good news is 00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:46.720 hey lg good job the tv managed to turn on so that's awesome 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:50.639 but there is a bit of extra work that i'm to have to do because 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:53.920 an excellent attempt was made at cable managing and installing everything into 00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:59.440 the console but this computer 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:03.199 does not go in like that because the intake is right here so it needs to sit 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.360 right side up so it can draw that fresh air from the bottom fans in 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:10.720 uh let's go oh wow look at this this door is gonna come 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:17.199 off too freaking fantastic thanks wayfair is 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.199 this one from wayfair yeah i do yeah 00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:24.240 thank you ah wonderful and let's never do that again 00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:30.800 here's something special about this machine it's got this old i believe it's made by 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:32.639 sonnet old usb card that has an 00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:36.240 individual controller for every one of the four ports 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:41.040 having more than one of these on a single controller and some motherboards 00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:45.279 might have two or maybe three controllers but having them share with 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:51.040 any other devices can lead to unexpected problems so i've given each of them 00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:54.160 their own dedicated usb controller 00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:54.160 freaking ridiculous 00:14:54.800 --> 00:15:00.959 there we are that is a couch come on oh man it's 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:04.240 almost like that's how you use a couch are we trying to make things look pretty 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:08.320 for the video or are we just trying to go for functional how about pretty 00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:12.079 functional well i have one thing that might make it 00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:15.120 look better which is really easy a carpet what a good idea yeah let's do 00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:20.720 the carpet okay now we go we are not centered 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:24.880 not even a little we'll fix it in post i had these grand designs about how i was 00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:29.279 gonna put little magnetic things and have everything cable managed really 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:33.920 perfectly against the back but instead 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:38.320 we're gonna do classic cable management okay there now it's centered nice i mean 00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:43.600 the space is starting to look kind of gamery actually all right let's talk 00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:47.760 features finally okay we got dolby vision support 00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:52.079 we've got filmmaker mode support uh here if we fire oh you do i have plex 00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:55.680 on here heck yeah is this even gonna find my plex server this was last 00:15:53.519 --> 00:16:00.000 plugged in at my old place no internet connection what the switch is not 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:04.240 powered oh because i didn't plug it in is the sound 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.959 bar kicked in settings HDMI arc device look at that 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:12.880 did it just pick it up no problems i mentioned that it has the alpha 7 00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:17.759 processor it does like 4k up scaling this is 4k content anyway but 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:23.360 it has that so that's the reason that i chose to use my old shield that does not 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:27.360 do ai upscaling here and then i've got my new shield over in the theater room 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:32.320 actually the glare is not that bad which is exactly the goal in this room 00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:36.639 even with the studio lights on motion smoothing is on that's stupid so let's 00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:40.160 go ahead and fix that i think there's actually more optimal 00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:45.440 setting than off so don't quote me on that but off is one way to make sure 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:49.600 you're not getting any kind of smoothing wow 00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:52.079 the HDR looks awesome though 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.800 i'm fairly certain it's on it's not even oh wait it's not on you 00:16:54.160 --> 00:17:00.639 know ratings said that their sdr readings for this tv were really good 00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:05.600 like really bright but wow 00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:09.600 that's really bright i thought HDR was enabled well i guess we're sliding all 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.919 the way to the right okay and that's better 00:17:14.959 --> 00:17:20.880 this looks awesome though not much else to say thanks lg for sponsoring this 00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:26.000 video we're going to enjoy many an hour playing games in here 00:17:23.199 --> 00:17:30.480 massive shout out
