In fairness, Samsung's the wall has come down a little bit since then, but this technology is still well beyond the means of the nonbillionaire class. Or is it? What if I didn't need the wall? What if I could find a wall that does pretty much the same thing for $130,000 off? Like the Costco classic, Awall's sales pitch for their 4K micro LED C series sounds too good to be true. Like the wall, it's [music] using chip onboard technology to achieve sub 1 millm pixel pitch. Like the wall, it offers over a,000 nits of peak brightness. And like the wall, it can manage OLED level blacks because black is just off. Unlike the wall though, it comes at a fraction of the price while being larger, managing higher sustained brightness. And this one blew my mind. It's IP65 rated. Like I could spray a hose at this thing while it's on. That actually kind of makes sense for a technology that's often used in digital signage outdoors.

Okay, >> not 2.1. >> That's fine, though. >> We can do 4K 60, no problem. >> No problem. This is cool. The HDMI modules are actually modular. So that's our HDMI 2.0 board. And then I guess with the same bandwidth that you can do one HDMI 2.0, they can do a whack ton of 1.3s and 1.4s. >> Uh, and these are RJ45 connectors, >> right? So these go out to our actual LED modules. >> Yeah. >> And we should be able to do up to 26 million pixels over RJ45. >> The last big thing is gen lock, which is used to synchronize with other devices. All right. What else is in here? This is heavier than I expected it to be. >> Yeah. mounting hardware, tools. >> What is all this? >> I just told you. It's like we got some power cords. >> I got a whole kit, dude. I got like a suction cup. I got ESD safe gloves. I got a maintenance tool. Magnet adjustment tool. >> Oh, you know what that suction cup's for? You can hot swap these. >> Shut up. >> Yeah. So, if one panel breaks or, you know, you get a dead pixel or something, you can hot swap just that one panel. That's right. The suction cup. >> I did know that. I just It's just crazy. >> Yeah. But when they sent us it, we they sent us everything. They didn't cheap out. We've got all of the spare parts that would normally come with this. We've got all of the mounting hardware that would normally come with this. You can do it yourself. And they say it takes about two people, 2 hours. That's probably a professional time. >> But 90% of their customers just have them come out and install it. >> Yeah, makes sense considering, you know, you're spending already like 86 $87,000 on your giant video wall. What's another like four grand to have a couple people come out and build it for you? Speak of the devil. Here's our spare parts for power supplies and receiving cards. On the subject of power though, I was floored when I found out how little power this thing uses. For context, the one behind me, we have to drag, I think it's four circuits over it in order to power it up, and it caused major problems at the last whale land when we didn't account for the power in our floor plan. This new one, what does it work out to? >> It's like 65 watts per meter squared. >> That's crazy. This is another major advantage over the wall. At least back when I did research on it, when Samsung required you to have a dedicated air conditioner unit in the room just to account for the extra heat from the wall. >> They do recommend that as well in their specs when you're planning stuff out, but I don't think it's a 10,000 BTU air conditioner. >> Cabinet connection plates, more gloves and suction cups. That makes sense cuz they would assume you'd have two to three technicians putting it together. And realistically, you know, you get some gloves dirty, you don't want to keep using those. You should probably switch your gloves >> every time. >> Later. Yeah. >> Every time. >> Otherwise, three kits. Love this. It's just called thick connection. [laughter] >> Hell yeah. >> Bolts for days, tire iron, >> a bunch of RJ45, a cabinet data cable, 340 mm, >> USB thumb drive. >> These are just wall mounting brackets cuz you can do it yourself. Hub board. >> Oh, >> two pieces. How dare they assume what type of content I'm going to watch on this. >> I think that's it for this one cuz these are all just mounting brackets, long trim. >> So, in classic Linus and PLO unboxing video walls fashion, we picked the least interesting box first. >> 100 Wait, the card was in there. The uh >> Oh, that's true. That's true. >> The Novastar video wall splicer. >> Nope, you're right. Ready for round two? >> Yeah, this should be our uh panels. This is our Cobb.9 mm C series. >> Oh, that's not what I was expecting. This must be the back. [laughter] >> Yeah, you can see all the electronics on it, though. Because instead of putting little dodes, uh, and doing it, you know, as SMD, this is just all the electronics and then the pixels are all on the front. >> All right, let's crack this open. >> Why would you open it like that? >> Dude, she's heavy. >> Yeah, I believe it. Look at all the electronics on it. >> She's dense. Really dense. Wow. You can barely make out the individual pixels. When we contrast that with our old video wall, which to be clear, we love and use very regularly. All hands quarterly meetings, whale, it's just that this is a completely different class of product. This damage in the corner here is actually kind of convenient because you can see where one of the old square LED modules became desoldered and fell off. These new ones use a completely different approach. Instead of using SMD or surface mounted device which has the LED, the electronics and the wiring all packaged together and soldered on, this new panel from AWOL uses flip chip chip on board or COB. With these guys, the LEDs are attached directly to the substrate and the chip is well, it's on the board. Basically, what that means is you can pack way more teeny tiny little lights into the same amount of space. That's what makes these microLEDD rather than regular LED or miniLEDD. Our pixel pitch here is just.9 mm. >> Bang. Bang. >> 9 mm. >> Yeah, I got it. >> Also, despite our new video wall having way more pixels than our old one, it actually uses significantly less power and generates way less heat. >> What's in this box? >> The last thing I think we're going to need before we can go any further. >> Oh, it's the back piece. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Here we go. These are the cabinets conveniently in a less square shape this time, which will make it a little bit easier for us to build a more cinematic display aspect ratio. >> They're all numbered. So before they send this off, they'll configure everything for us. And then when you assemble it, so that's why, you know, if you are doing it yourself, it's really easy. You just do it in the exact order that they've got everything labeled. >> Oh, that's super convenient. [music] Actually, alignment for the modules is done with magnets. And it just pops on like that. >> You just do it seven more times >> times 36. [laughter] I'm actually not done talking about this whole flip chip chip on board thing though. There's a huge number of benefits. One that we didn't even talk about before is that see how black this is compared to the old one. Just like any other display, the blackest black you can have is the black that it is when it's off. And when your LEDs are this big, that's not very black. So, our contrast should be way better. Also, reliability. Man, [music] we saw that one that was knocked off the corner there. That That one's full of >> Look at the bottom. >> Oh, god. Yes. These should be much more resilient. I wouldn't go out of your way to try to, you know, ding them or anything, but >> there's an encapsulint. >> Yes. >> Not a coating. It's an encapsulate. >> Yes. Wow. really grabs onto it. You want to do some >> I don't I don't I don't want to. This is your video wall and so it was very expensive. You've already got the gloves on. >> Um I want to just see it turned on. >> You sure you don't want to see me turned on? Cuz this video wall is really uh [laughter] >> I'm going to have to wait a couple hours before it's built to see that. >> Yeah. I'll have to take off this wonderful Floatplane hoodie. Exclusive to Floatplane members.g.gg/flatlane. How many pixels is this? >> He said 640x 360. Wow. So that's about 220,000 or something. Let me see if I just have the 230,400. That's per cabinet, not per panel. So multiply by 36 and we've got a 4K display. >> That's crazy. >> There you go. >> They have a little bit of play, so you can kind of get them >> exactly perfect. Yeah, >> realistically, you know, as long as you're direct on and there's content playing, I don't think we're even going to see these seams. It is kind of the last hurdle for MicroLEDD to figure out is how to fully eliminate the seams because even when I've seen them at CES, they look crazy impressive when you're dead on, but then you go to the side and you can start to see them a little bit, you know, time to do it again. I'm kind of glad that we had the pros come out to set it up. >> Oh yeah. I mean, I'm sure we could have figured it out. Just full disclosure, they absolutely showed us how to do this once before Lionus tried to do this himself. That's why, you know, it's going so smoothly. >> Hey, listen. Listen. I could have figured it out. >> Shout out Joel from Awall. >> I had the quick start guide. >> One panel. >> One panel out of 36. Should we go see how they're doing in there? >> Yeah. Welcome to our new and improved theater room. We put some acoustic dampening in here now, so it sounds way better than it did last time we were in here. It's also got a sound system now. It's just the old one from the employee lounge, not an Atmos system or anything. But this room is meant to be kind of a proper room for us to show off just crazy display and sound technology in the future. Still got some more work to do on the acoustic treatment, but it's way better than it was before. And this is where a wall is going. Only one small issue. How are we going to mount this? Someone must know the answer to that. I made one for you. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah, I helped. I forgot what number it was. So, you might have to take the things off and find out. >> I'm gonna just put it all back in the in the >> Oh, >> container. And then >> exactly like helping dad. [music] >> Okay. All right, Linus. You know we're done. >> I'm ready. >> We built it. >> I'm ready. Ow. >> Not there. Yeah, there you go. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my goodness. It's warm in here. Is that from the excitement or >> both? Ow. >> There you go. >> Holy Oh my god. It's so sharp. Holy Now, I've experienced this before. When you look at the panels close, right, like the pixels like this small and it's mostly black >> and there's like a weird effect with microLEDD where you step back past a threshold >> and >> it goes away. >> It goes away >> 100%. >> I haven't noticed a seam yet. Oh yeah, they're really hard to find. >> You guys freaking killed it because my job is to look at and find everything that's wrong with it. And like I've spent so many years on the show floor like being like, \"Yeah, microledd is pretty cool, but like you can tell from the seams between the pixels.\" Now I'm not offaxis yet. You've got to be like right beside it. [laughter] Oh wow, >> that's really seamless. The mat too. >> Yeah, >> like we've got pot lights in here. >> Oh yeah, the glare is like non-existent. >> We haven't even turned off the pot lights yet. [laughter] Like okay, like to be clear, right? Like a thousand and change nits peak brightness is not that competitive with the brightest, you know, QLEDs these days, right? But like in a light controlled room, dude, it's lots. >> And don't forget that it's going to do all of that sustained cuz each panel >> was able to output that much brightness instead of it being limited. >> It's way better than I expected. >> The Hookup put out a video yesterday on a 157 in from Awall and he said he measured almost 90% to BT 2020. >> Wow. This is the point where I can't find the seams anymore. That is crazy. >> Yeah, you're right around 8 ft there. I would never want to be this close to a screen this size. [laughter] Well, okay, never is a big word. I can think of some pretty immersive content, but I would never want to be closer than this. Tell me something. The 60 Hz limitation, is that the controller or the panel? >> That's >> That's the panel. >> That's the panel. The panel 60 Hz. Okay. Okay. Well, I'm sure you guys will have a nextG thing at some point. We are in production to do all 120 Hz and then high. >> Do you have a trait in program? >> This is insane, dude. For movie watching, like if I had unlimited budget, >> it's immersive. >> That's one word for it. Yeah. Okay, we got to we got to check out some content. We got to play some games. And we haven't heard the speakers in this room yet with the sound treatment. Oh, dude. Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to Okay. I want to steal it. >> Oh my god, it's so bright. The bright scenes like >> Oh, by the way, this is actually not even at 1200 nits right now. >> What? >> At 100%. It's 800 nits, but you can basically juice it even more um [clears throat] through the software. >> Dude, this might be all I would need, >> right? I have dreamed of large format microLEDD like becoming accessible basically since the first time I saw the Sony Cletus display and like yes 80 grand installed is still not reasonable >> or like 90 but still >> but here's the thing guys theing trajectory the trajectory that's what it's all about seeing the alignment this good I'm not even blowing smoke >> 100% absolutely I think this is the best alignment I've seen on a microLED. Okay, I could kind of catch one there kind of. I would never notice that if I wasn't trying to find it. Oh my god, it looks so good. >> Yeah. So, that magnet tool they use, they use it to adjust the magnets ever so slightly. So, you're not even pushing the like panel around on its own. You're moving the magnets so that it stays nice and aligned. Some Windows HDR HDR stuff is a little touchy and if you switch inputs, it gets a little upset for, you know, a couple seconds. >> Yeah. Okay. So basically projector things anyway% >> which is what they're competing with anyway. >> Exactly. And this crushes like any projector. Oh my god. >> Disclaimer. We do have a 27,000 LUM projector sitting on the other side of this wall that >> Sure. >> Sure. >> Any is a big word, but any projector I've ever seen, I'm with you there. >> There you go. >> The next time a Paul brother gets his jaw broken, like this would be the ultimate place to watch it. Their professional installations are typically even better than this because, you know, we do things a little jank sometimes. Like you can see all the cables coming out the side there. >> I didn't even notice them. [laughter] I was so wonder. >> I know. I just want to make it clear to the audience that like when they do it for someone professionally, they do it very, very well. Check out the website. We'll show some of the shots of their professional installs. Not their fault, but everything else is just beautiful. The mat's crazy. There's a pot right there. I should be getting wicked glare and rainbow effect and whatever. It's not even the blackest black that I've ever seen when I'm looking at it, but the matte effect. >> Yeah, >> the lack of glare just wow. How's the HDR handling though? >> It looks a little off. >> It's been good depending on like the format and the system we're using. Um, some movies actually look great and I know that with uh Halo specifically, you know how normally like 50 right in the middle looks good. We had to crank that 100 fixed and it looks great that way. This is probably the worst I've seen just Windows HDR in general. Like you know how it looks. As long as you get the right game with the right settings dialed in, it looks solid >> cuz Yeah, this looks desaturated. >> This looks desaturated for sure. Like did Encanto >> No. >> No. Encanto look great. So it's in this weird I don't know if it's uh the content or um the receiver cuz we're also passing through the receiver as well. Oh, in the cinematic aspect ratio, >> you can actually set this to 21 by9 if you want. He did a few preconfigurations for us. He's got like a 2x2 grid, a 21x9, and then a full screen. >> What will happen if I tell it to transcode? Now it pops. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, this is just something we got to figure out what it is about the content or the chain cuz like this is 1080p so it looks like poo poo on such a large screen but the color and now we're getting those specular highlights. I wonder if this is something where we can just tell the controller manually this is HDR10. >> We literally just got all this stuff working. So, there's probably some kinks to be worked out. Like even this looks amazing. Like [laughter] >> this is SDR though. I know, but like it's still handling it so incredibly. >> One does not simply >> acquire a 162 in TV. [laughter] >> Except when we do. I've never seen this look this good. The size, man. Every time we go to a new size, we go, maybe this is the limit to how much we could possibly need. >> I know. And then we see the bigger one and we're like, nah, we were wrong. >> We were wrong. Oh my god. Are you ready? Jesus. Sorry. Sorry. All right. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. I can feel the heat of this breath, dude. Going to the movie theater is ruined for me now. >> And for how most movies are mastered, it's enough bright. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> [screaming] >> Oh my [laughter] god. >> Wow. Okay. Gaming. All right. I can feel the heat off of it, but barely. [music] So, to be clear, Awol is not the only one who's using these flip chip chip on board panels. Um, but I haven't experienced them yet. And the efficiency is incredible. It's so thin. Even just a few short years ago, we had professional like miniLEDD back lit uh monitors that were that thick. Like this is weird. Do you notice kind of like when you flick your eyes back and forth? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you know what that is? >> Yeah, David Goautier noticed it as well when he came in. Um it's like Yeah. If you flick them back and forth really quick or if you blink sometimes it happens. I'm not sure. >> Blinking's okay for me as long as I don't reposition my eyeball. >> It's not terrible. It is no worse than the rainbow effect that I would get from a DLP projector. >> Sure. >> Is how I would explain it. That controller makes some noise though. Hey. >> Yeah. >> I would want this in like a cooled separated cabinet or I'd want it in another room for sure. >> But hey, it's rack mountable. >> Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's rack mountable. So, like if I was able to move this home, which I'm not saying I will, but if I was able to, I could easily just chuck this in the rack and then run what? Yeah. Just run Oh god. Does all of this Ethernet need to go to the display? >> Yeah. >> Do you see the giant bundle of Ethernet cables coming out the side there? >> I do. Okay, I could figure that out. Look at this. This is freaking daylight. I mean, here, look at these guys way back there. [laughter] >> The TV is the only light in this room right now. >> Yeah, >> in this dark room. You know what? I am not noticing a problem >> with latency. >> With latency. >> Yeah, it seems okay so far. Whereas the other video wall, our old Yes Tech, you know, beautiful display, but >> yes, tech, more like no tech. >> No, no, no. They're great. We just have an old panel. >> You got nothing. You got nothing. Oh, you got nothing. You got nothing. SPLIT THE D. SPLIT THE OH, THE MOTION is perfect. >> Yeah, right. >> It like the P word is a big word, but one of the reasons other than that I just really like this game and excellent rectangle is super cool and you should go check out tape to tape. Other than that, one of the reasons I really like to use this is a dark jersey on the white ice gives me a really good opportunity to have a look at what the pixel response times are like. Uh, >> perfect. >> You're in my way. [laughter] >> I'm just I'm sorry. I'm looking. I'm evaluating. Like, definitely being at 60 Hz means that >> we're at 60 Hz. Yeah. But you heard the man. He's trying to make uh they're trying to work on 120 Hz already. >> I'm looking at his jersey. The in motion clarity is not going to be great. We're still at 60 Hz. And I also wonder if there might be a little bit of like smoothing or something that it's doing. >> I don't know. One difference I've noticed though while playing this instead of uh watching a movie, I'm not seeing that like flickering stuff we were talking about earlier. >> You just want me blinking and moving. >> No, no. You're too You're two goals ahead. I'm going to lose. I don't care. Andrew just said you can't hear him cuz he's not on, you know, miked up. But like we were watching the movie at 24, >> right? >> So I wonder if it's just not like >> Yeah. I wonder if it's just not sinking up perfectly. Whereas this looks like great. >> This looks incredible, >> right? Confirm. Jeez. This is an absolute What? Okay, Ignore everything I'm doing right now because it's basically all wrong. Latency is not a problem. This looks spectacular. >> Like, it's just 60 Hz stuff. It's not, you know, bad screen tearing. I just want to sit in here and watch movies and play games. This is incredible. One benefit of this that it would be easy to overlook is that because it's so much larger than my one at home, >> I could go cinematic and still have a giant display. So, I want to try that. This is how I want to play this game now. >> Right. >> Cuz it's so it's such a like gorgeous like cinematic looking game. >> Yeah. >> This aspect ratio just Yeah. There it is. I'm really digging the ultra wide. I can't even see the top. Maybe the bottom a little just cuz the reflection of the light off the floor, but like it's just black. >> It's just black. >> We've also got Cyberpunk on here. >> Yeah. Okay. Last game, Cyberpunk. Cuz I want to I want to feel >> You need to try the first person for sure. >> All right. >> Looks pretty good. >> So, if you do happen to get one of these and you're playing some games and the HDR doesn't look quite right, definitely go in. And this is one of the few times where I've actually really had to tweak in-game HDR settings to make it look proper. Um, you're definitely going to want to do that. But now that we dialed it in, like this looks great. >> This looks incredible. >> How's the mouse moving? >> It's a little floaty. >> Sure. >> Not enough that I would notice with a controller, >> but definitely enough that I can notice with a keyboard and mouse. And it's not just 60 Hz here. >> It's not bad, though. >> It's usable. I can't believe we have this now. I am so watching Olympic hockey on this. Now, let's talk about maintenance. Back when I was considering splurging on a the wall and then milking it for content to justify it, I was actually put off of it by a professional installer who contacted me and said, \"Hey man, on installation day, they look amazing, but over time the panels tend to die.\" Well, AWOL, like many vendors who supply these video walls, thought of that. We already showed that they provided some extras and they also provide all the equipment that you need to swap out a panel. >> To be clear, their panels are rated on the website at over 100,000 hours. >> So, theoretically, um I actually did notice a green stuck pixel here for like a couple minutes and then it went away. So, if it were to come back at any point, theoretically, it's as simple as figuring out how this works and doing what I'm about to do. We have extras in case I drop one, right? I think so. >> You know what? Let's see how it goes. Here's one. Is it Is it like a valve? Is it? >> I don't know. >> That's trippy. Hey. All right. And then we just swapping a panel. So easy. I could do it. Hey, sir. Uh, we appear to have found a hole in your display. There's your problem. There's your problem right there. Let me get that sorted out for you there, bud. Thanks Awal for bringing this over. Like, wow, did you guys ever do an incredible job. Yeah, they didn't sponsor the video, but they did provide the display. And we are going to be getting so much flipping use out of this thing, man. >> Where is it going to live permanently now? >> I think it's probably going to stay here, >> right? >> It's got to because >> this fits so well. >> And that's going to make this so much of a better set. Like anytime, dude. I'm talking about some new 6090 GPU. We're in front of this thing. Like, this is a gorgeous room now. And it's all about this centerpiece. That's one thing I could see is the production team stealing it. >> Yeah. >> Using it as like a virtual production background. >> Yeah. >> Sky's the limits, man. >> Yeah. >> And the sky's is the limit to our sponsor. >> Sure. >> HTC Viviveror.
