1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,799
Giant home cinema displays like this one have existed for longer than you would

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,000
probably [music] think. And I've wanted one from the moment I laid eyes on them.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:16,160
But there's one teensy problem. >> How How much does it cost?

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:22,560
>> Can you say honestly speaking that nobody needs a TV that's anywhere from

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:23,199
146 in to 292 in. There's a lot How much

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,160
is it? >> There's a lot of people asking me how much it costs. >> How much is it?

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,440
>> Now let's talk about the hidden cost. What about the not hidden or or sub cost

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,920
which is the upfront cost? >> You understand that this display starts

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:42,160
at around $360,000, right? And I was like, yes, I am aware

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,559
of this >> starts. In fairness, Samsung's the wall

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:55,440
has come down a little bit since then, but this technology is still well beyond

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,680
the means of the nonbillionaire class.

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Or is it? What if I didn't need the wall? What if I could find a wall that

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:09,600
does pretty much the same thing for $130,000

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,360
off? Like the Costco classic, Awall's

16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,400
sales pitch for their 4K micro LED C

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,080
series sounds too good to be true. Like

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,759
the wall, it's [music] using chip onboard technology to achieve sub 1

19
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,640
millm pixel pitch. Like the wall, it offers over a,000 nits of peak

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:35,360
brightness. And like the wall, it can manage OLED level blacks because black

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,360
is just off. Unlike the wall though, it

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,840
comes at a fraction of the price while being larger, managing higher sustained

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,560
brightness. And this one blew my mind. It's IP65

24
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,640
rated. Like I could spray a hose at this thing while it's on. That actually kind

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,680
of makes sense for a technology that's often used in digital signage outdoors.

26
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,200
But still, when AWOL agreed to send us

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,280
one of these things, I could hardly contain my excitement. But now I've got

28
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,719
a bit of a problem. How the heck are we supposed to mount these? How about with

29
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,360
a giant plywood backboard and a little

30
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:15,200
help from some old friends, some of which own a display? And also, our

31
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,599
sponsor, HTC Viviveror. HTC has launched

[music]

36
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,599
Why don't we start with a look inside the boxes? Sure. Unlike last time we

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,391
bought an LED video wall on Craigslist, we've got packing list listers,

38
00:02:46,371 --> 00:02:53,120
[laughter] packing lists and documentation, which

39
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:58,000
is going to be pretty exciting. Wow. Quick start guide. >> That's for the H series video wall

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,000
splicer from Novastar. Remember when we thought they were just kind of a rando

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,200
brand. >> Turns out they're one of the leaders in the space. We just are not video wall

42
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,560
people and had never heard of them. Sorry, Novaar. >> That should be in here. this big box.

43
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:15,599
>> For something that's never meant to be seen, she's kind of gorgeous.

44
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:17,440
>> This thing can do 4x4x4 RGB, so no more chroma subsampling.

45
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,680
>> Oh, sick. >> It I'm pretty sure it's going to cap out at 60 Hz, but it can do proper 4K.

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,599
>> Sick. >> And we can do whatever configuration we want. So, if you want multi- view, if

47
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,799
you just want one giant screen. >> What about HDR?

48
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:34,319
>> Yes, it'll do up to HDR10 plus. >> What about latency for gaming?

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,879
>> It's supposedly way better than the one we've got. So, while you know 60 Hz,

50
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,680
we'll feel it, but it should be like a proper gaming experience.

51
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:47,200
>> Oh, dude. Kind of want to take a closer look at the back, though.

52
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:52,720
>> I couldn't help noticing all these HDMIs are 1.3 and 1. Oh, there it is. HDMI

53
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:54,640
2.0. Okay, >> not 2.1.

54
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:02,560
>> That's fine, though. >> We can do 4K 60, no problem. >> No problem. This is cool. The HDMI

55
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,159
modules are actually modular.

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,920
So that's our HDMI 2.0 board. And then I

57
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,720
guess with the same bandwidth that you can do

58
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:16,079
one HDMI 2.0, they can do a whack ton of 1.3s and

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,479
1.4s. >> Uh, and these are RJ45 connectors, >> right? So these go out to our actual LED

60
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,680
modules. >> Yeah. >> And we should be able to do up to 26

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,720
million pixels over RJ45. >> The last big thing is gen lock, which is

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:31,759
used to synchronize with other devices. All right. What else is in here? This is

63
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,720
heavier than I expected it to be. >> Yeah. mounting hardware, tools.

64
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,520
>> What is all this? >> I just told you. It's like we got some

65
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,759
power cords. >> I got a whole kit, dude. I got like a

66
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,280
suction cup. I got ESD safe gloves. I

67
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:51,199
got a maintenance tool. Magnet adjustment tool. >> Oh, you know what that suction cup's

68
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,840
for? You can hot swap these.

69
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:57,199
>> Shut up. >> Yeah. So, if one panel breaks or, you know, you get a dead pixel or something,

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,199
you can hot swap just that one panel. That's right. The suction cup.

71
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,320
>> I did know that. I just It's just crazy. >> Yeah. But when they sent us it, we they

72
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,199
sent us everything. They didn't cheap out. We've got all of the spare parts

73
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,600
that would normally come with this. We've got all of the mounting hardware that would normally come with this. You

74
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,560
can do it yourself. And they say it takes about two people, 2 hours. That's

75
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,160
probably a professional time. >> But 90% of their customers just have

76
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,320
them come out and install it. >> Yeah, makes sense considering, you know, you're spending already like 86 $87,000

77
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,840
on your giant video wall. What's another like four grand to have a couple people

78
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,520
come out and build it for you? Speak of the devil. Here's our spare parts for

79
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,759
power supplies and receiving cards. On the subject of power though, I was

80
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,240
floored when I found out how little power this thing uses. For context, the

81
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,240
one behind me, we have to drag, I think it's four circuits over it in order to

82
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,080
power it up, and it caused major problems at the last whale land when we

83
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:52,080
didn't account for the power in our floor plan. This new one, what does it

84
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,039
work out to? >> It's like 65 watts per meter squared.

85
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,120
>> That's crazy. This is another major advantage over the wall. At least back

86
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:06,080
when I did research on it, when Samsung required you to have a dedicated air

87
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,319
conditioner unit in the room just to account for the extra heat from the

88
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:13,759
wall. >> They do recommend that as well in their specs when you're planning stuff out,

89
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:16,160
but I don't think it's a 10,000 BTU air conditioner.

90
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,919
>> Cabinet connection plates, more gloves and suction cups. That makes sense cuz

91
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,560
they would assume you'd have two to three technicians putting it together. And realistically, you know, you get

92
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,039
some gloves dirty, you don't want to keep using those. You should probably

93
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:34,240
switch your gloves >> every time. >> Later. Yeah. >> Every time. >> Otherwise, three kits. Love this. It's

94
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,800
just called thick connection. [laughter] >> Hell yeah.

95
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,479
>> Bolts for days, tire iron, >> a bunch of RJ45, a cabinet data cable,

96
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,759
340 mm, >> USB thumb drive. >> These are just wall mounting brackets

97
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,160
cuz you can do it yourself. Hub board. >> Oh,

98
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,800
>> two pieces. How dare they assume what type of content I'm going to watch on

99
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,560
this. >> I think that's it for this one cuz these

100
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:02,160
are all just mounting brackets, long trim. >> So, in classic Linus and PLO unboxing

101
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:05,759
video walls fashion, we picked the least interesting box first.

102
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,720
>> 100 Wait, the card was in there. The uh >> Oh, that's true. That's true.

103
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,240
>> The Novastar video wall splicer. >> Nope, you're right. Ready for round two?

104
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:17,199
>> Yeah, this should be our uh panels. This is our Cobb.9 mm C series.

105
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:20,479
>> Oh, that's not what I was expecting. This must be the back. [laughter]

106
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,080
>> Yeah, you can see all the electronics on it, though. Because instead of putting

107
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,680
little dodes, uh, and doing it, you know, as SMD, this is just all the

108
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,639
electronics and then the pixels are all on the front. >> All right, let's crack this open.

109
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,680
>> Why would you open it like that? >> Dude, she's heavy. >> Yeah, I believe it. Look at all the

110
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:42,639
electronics on it. >> She's dense. Really dense. Wow. You can

111
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:48,000
barely make out the individual pixels. When we contrast that with our old video

112
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,919
wall, which to be clear, we love and use

113
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,360
very regularly. All hands quarterly meetings, whale, it's just that this is

114
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:58,240
a completely different class of product. This damage in the corner here is

115
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:04,000
actually kind of convenient because you can see where one of the old square LED

116
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,160
modules became desoldered and fell off.

117
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,520
These new ones use a completely different approach. Instead of using SMD

118
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:16,080
or surface mounted device which has the LED, the electronics and the wiring all

119
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:21,840
packaged together and soldered on, this new panel from AWOL uses flip chip chip

120
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:28,080
on board or COB. With these guys, the LEDs are attached directly to the

121
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:30,560
substrate and the chip is well, it's on

122
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:36,000
the board. Basically, what that means is you can pack way more teeny tiny little

123
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:42,560
lights into the same amount of space. That's what makes these microLEDD rather

124
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:45,519
than regular LED or miniLEDD. Our pixel

125
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,000
pitch here is just.9 mm. >> Bang. Bang.

126
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:53,360
>> 9 mm. >> Yeah, I got it. >> Also, despite our new video wall having

127
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,440
way more pixels than our old one, it actually uses significantly less power

128
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:01,839
and generates way less heat. >> What's in this box? >> The last thing I think we're going to

129
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:07,600
need before we can go any further. >> Oh, it's the back piece. Oh yeah. Oh

130
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:12,320
yeah. Here we go. These are the cabinets conveniently in a less square shape this

131
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:17,600
time, which will make it a little bit easier for us to build a more cinematic

132
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,880
display aspect ratio. >> They're all numbered. So before they

133
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,800
send this off, they'll configure everything for us. And then when you assemble it, so that's why, you know, if

134
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,800
you are doing it yourself, it's really easy. You just do it in the exact order that they've got everything labeled.

135
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:34,640
>> Oh, that's super convenient. [music] Actually, alignment for the modules is done with magnets.

136
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,399
And it just pops on like that. >> You just do it seven more times

137
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,640
>> times 36. [laughter] I'm actually not done talking about this

138
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,560
whole flip chip chip on board thing though. There's a huge number of

139
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:51,279
benefits. One that we didn't even talk about before is that see how black this

140
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,040
is compared to the old one. Just like any other display, the blackest black

141
00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:01,279
you can have is the black that it is when it's off. And when your LEDs are

142
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:05,279
this big, that's not very black. So, our

143
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:07,760
contrast should be way better. Also,

144
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:11,440
reliability. Man, [music] we saw that one that was knocked off the corner

145
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:17,279
there. That That one's full of >> Look at the bottom. >> Oh, god. Yes. These should be much more

146
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,200
resilient. I wouldn't go out of your way to try to, you know, ding them or

147
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:26,320
anything, but >> there's an encapsulint. >> Yes. >> Not a coating. It's an encapsulate.

148
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:26,959
>> Yes. Wow. really grabs onto it. You want

149
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:34,240
to do some >> I don't I don't I don't want to. This is your video wall and so it was very

150
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,600
expensive. You've already got the gloves on. >> Um I want to just see it turned on.

151
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:40,160
>> You sure you don't want to see me turned on? Cuz this video wall is really uh

152
00:10:39,942 --> 00:10:46,320
[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

153
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,320
wonderful Floatplane hoodie. Exclusive to Floatplane members.g.gg/flatlane.

154
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:57,040
How many pixels is this? >> He said 640x 360. Wow. So that's about

155
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:01,760
220,000 or something. Let me see if I just have the 230,400.

156
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:04,399
That's per cabinet, not per panel. So multiply by 36 and we've got a 4K

157
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,600
display. >> That's crazy. >> There you go. >> They have a little bit of play, so you

158
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,399
can kind of get them >> exactly perfect. Yeah, >> realistically, you know, as long as

159
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:18,640
you're direct on and there's content playing, I don't think we're even going

160
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,560
to see these seams. It is kind of the last hurdle for MicroLEDD to figure out

161
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,079
is how to fully eliminate the seams because even when I've seen them at CES,

162
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,760
they look crazy impressive when you're dead on, but then you go to the side and

163
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:35,120
you can start to see them a little bit, you know, time to do it again. I'm kind

164
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,160
of glad that we had the pros come out to set it up. >> Oh yeah. I mean, I'm sure we could have

165
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:44,720
figured it out. Just full disclosure, they absolutely showed us how to do this

166
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,360
once before Lionus tried to do this himself. That's why, you know, it's

167
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,000
going so smoothly. >> Hey, listen. Listen. I could have

168
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:56,000
figured it out. >> Shout out Joel from Awall.

169
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,560
>> I had the quick start guide. >> One panel. >> One panel out of 36. Should we go see

170
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,720
how they're doing in there? >> Yeah. Welcome to our new and improved

171
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:08,800
theater room. We put some acoustic dampening in here now, so it sounds way

172
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:11,839
better than it did last time we were in here. It's also got a sound system now.

173
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:16,079
It's just the old one from the employee lounge, not an Atmos system or anything.

174
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:21,600
But this room is meant to be kind of a proper room for us to show off just

175
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:24,480
crazy display and sound technology in the future. Still got some more work to

176
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:31,519
do on the acoustic treatment, but it's way better than it was before. And this

177
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:33,680
is where a wall is going. Only one small

178
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:37,440
issue. How are we going to mount this? Someone must know the answer to that. I

179
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:43,120
made one for you. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah, I helped. I forgot what number it

180
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,880
was. So, you might have to take the things off and find out. >> I'm gonna just put it all back in the in

181
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:52,839
the >> Oh, >> container. And then >> exactly like helping dad.

182
00:12:54,218 --> 00:12:56,238
[music]

183
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,839
>> Okay. All right, Linus. You know we're done. >> I'm ready. >> We built it.

184
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,760
>> I'm ready. Ow. >> Not there. Yeah, there you go. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my goodness. It's

185
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,560
warm in here. Is that from the excitement or >> both? Ow.

186
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:23,839
>> There you go. >> Holy Oh my god. It's so sharp.

187
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:25,920
Holy Now, I've experienced this

188
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:30,480
before. When you look at the panels close, right, like the pixels like this

189
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:34,320
small and it's mostly black >> and there's like a weird effect with

190
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
microLEDD where you step back past a threshold

191
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:41,680
>> and >> it goes away. >> It goes away >> 100%. >> I haven't noticed a seam yet. Oh yeah,

192
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:48,079
they're really hard to find. >> You guys freaking

193
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:49,600
killed it because my job is to look at

194
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:54,800
and find everything that's wrong with it. And like I've spent so many

195
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:58,959
years on the show floor like being like, "Yeah, microledd is pretty cool, but

196
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,560
like you can tell from the seams between the

197
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,720
pixels." Now I'm not offaxis yet. You've got to

198
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,760
be like right beside it. [laughter] Oh

199
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,360
wow, >> that's really seamless. The mat too.

200
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,639
>> Yeah, >> like we've got pot lights in here. >> Oh yeah, the glare is like non-existent.

201
00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:22,044
>> We haven't even turned off the pot lights yet. [laughter]

202
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:31,279
Like okay, like to be clear, right? Like a thousand and change nits peak

203
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:36,959
brightness is not that competitive with the brightest, you know, QLEDs these

204
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:40,720
days, right? But like in a light

205
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:42,079
controlled room, dude, it's lots.

206
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,040
>> And don't forget that it's going to do all of that sustained cuz each panel

207
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,279
>> was able to output that much brightness instead of it being limited. >> It's way better than I expected.

208
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:56,480
>> The Hookup put out a video yesterday on a 157 in from Awall and he said he

209
00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:02,720
measured almost 90% to BT 2020. >> Wow. This is the point where I can't

210
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,480
find the seams anymore. That is crazy.

211
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:10,880
>> Yeah, you're right around 8 ft there. I would never want to be this close to a

212
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,600
screen this size. [laughter] Well, okay,

213
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:18,240
never is a big word. I can think of some pretty immersive content, but I would

214
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:24,639
never want to be closer than this. Tell me something. The 60 Hz limitation, is

215
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,760
that the controller or the panel? >> That's

216
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:29,440
>> That's the panel. >> That's the panel. The panel 60 Hz. Okay.

217
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:33,600
Okay. Well, I'm sure you guys will have a nextG thing at some point. We are in

218
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,519
production to do all 120 Hz and then high.

219
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:42,320
>> Do you have a trait in program? >> This is insane, dude. For movie

220
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,720
watching, like if I had unlimited budget,

221
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:48,320
>> it's immersive. >> That's one word for it. Yeah. Okay, we

222
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:52,959
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

223
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,639
yet with the sound treatment. Oh, dude. Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to Okay.

224
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:05,519
I want to steal it. >> Oh my god, it's so bright. The bright

225
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440
scenes like >> Oh, by the way, this is actually not even at 1200 nits right now.

226
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:15,306
>> What? >> At 100%. It's 800 nits, but you can

227
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,399
basically juice it even more um [clears throat] through the software.

228
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:25,519
>> Dude, this might be all I would need, >> right? I have dreamed of large format

229
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:27,519
microLEDD like becoming accessible

230
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:33,600
basically since the first time I saw the Sony Cletus display and like yes 80

231
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:35,120
grand installed is still not reasonable

232
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:39,600
>> or like 90 but still >> but here's the thing guys theing

233
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:44,079
trajectory the trajectory

234
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,519
that's what it's all about seeing the alignment this good I'm not even blowing

235
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,480
smoke >> 100% absolutely I think this is the best

236
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,560
alignment I've seen on a microLED. Okay, I could kind of catch one there kind of.

237
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,040
I would never notice that if I wasn't trying to find it. Oh my god, it looks

238
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:04,640
so good. >> Yeah. So, that magnet tool they use, they use it to adjust the magnets ever

239
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,319
so slightly. So, you're not even pushing the like panel around on its own. You're

240
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:13,120
moving the magnets so that it stays nice and aligned. Some Windows HDR HDR stuff

241
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,160
is a little touchy and if you switch inputs, it gets a little upset for, you

242
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:20,559
know, a couple seconds. >> Yeah. Okay. So basically projector things anyway%

243
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,679
>> which is what they're competing with anyway. >> Exactly. And this crushes like any

244
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,160
projector. Oh my god. >> Disclaimer. We do have a 27,000 LUM

245
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:33,840
projector sitting on the other side of this wall that >> Sure.

246
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:38,559
>> Sure. >> Any is a big word, but any projector

247
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:43,679
I've ever seen, I'm with you there. >> There you go. >> The next time a Paul brother gets his

248
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:48,880
jaw broken, like this would be the ultimate place to watch it. Their

249
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,840
professional installations are typically even better than this because, you know,

250
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,640
we do things a little jank sometimes. Like you can see all the cables coming

251
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,480
out the side there. >> I didn't even notice them. [laughter] I

252
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:01,520
was so wonder. >> I know. I just want to make it clear to

253
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,400
the audience that like when they do it for someone professionally, they do it

254
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:10,400
very, very well. Check out the website. We'll show some of the shots of their professional installs. Not their fault,

255
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:16,400
but everything else is just beautiful. The mat's crazy. There's a pot right

256
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:20,320
there. I should be getting wicked glare and rainbow effect and whatever. It's

257
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:24,000
not even the blackest black that I've ever seen when I'm looking at it, but

258
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:29,120
the matte effect. >> Yeah, >> the lack of glare just wow. How's the

259
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:35,679
HDR handling though? >> It looks a little off. >> It's been good depending on like the

260
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:40,880
format and the system we're using. Um, some movies actually look great and I

261
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:44,559
know that with uh Halo specifically, you know how normally like 50 right in the

262
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,799
middle looks good. We had to crank that 100

263
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:53,200
fixed and it looks great that way. This is probably the worst I've seen just

264
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,240
Windows HDR in general. Like you know how it looks. As long as you get the

265
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,880
right game with the right settings dialed in, it looks solid >> cuz Yeah, this looks desaturated.

266
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,720
>> This looks desaturated for sure. Like did Encanto >> No.

267
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:09,600
>> No. Encanto look great. So it's in this weird I don't know if it's uh the

268
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:15,360
content or um the receiver cuz we're also passing through the receiver as

269
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:17,520
well. Oh, in the cinematic aspect ratio,

270
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:22,000
>> you can actually set this to 21 by9 if you want. He did a few preconfigurations

271
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:26,799
for us. He's got like a 2x2 grid, a 21x9, and then a full screen.

272
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,360
>> What will happen if I tell it to transcode? Now it pops.

273
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,679
>> Yeah. >> Okay. So, this is just something we got to figure out what it is about the

274
00:19:33,679 --> 00:19:40,960
content or the chain cuz like this is 1080p so it looks like poo poo on such a

275
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:43,679
large screen but the color and now we're getting those specular highlights. I

276
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,280
wonder if this is something where we can just tell the controller manually this

277
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:51,200
is HDR10. >> We literally just got all this stuff

278
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:53,840
working. So, there's probably some kinks to be worked out. Like even this looks

279
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:59,520
amazing. Like [laughter] >> this is SDR though. I know, but like

280
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:05,923
it's still handling it so incredibly. >> One does not simply

281
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,923
>> acquire a 162 in TV. [laughter]

282
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:13,360
>> Except when we do. I've never seen this look this good. The

283
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,679
size, man. Every time we go to a new size, we go, maybe this is the limit to

284
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,520
how much we could possibly need. >> I know. And then we see the bigger one

285
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:27,440
and we're like, nah, we were wrong. >> We were wrong. Oh my god. Are you ready?

286
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:32,880
Jesus. Sorry. Sorry. All right. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

287
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:38,760
I can feel the heat of this breath, dude. Going to the movie theater is

288
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,760
ruined for me now.

289
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:50,520
>> And for how most movies are mastered, it's enough bright.

290
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,520
>> Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

291
00:20:51,064 --> 00:20:57,400
>> [screaming] >> Oh my [laughter] god.

292
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:05,120
>> Wow. Okay. Gaming. All right. I can feel

293
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:10,000
the heat off of it, but barely. [music] So, to be clear, Awol is not the only

294
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:15,760
one who's using these flip chip chip on board panels. Um, but I haven't

295
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:19,120
experienced them yet. And the efficiency

296
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,960
is incredible. It's so thin. Even just a

297
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:27,120
few short years ago, we had professional like miniLEDD back lit uh monitors that

298
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,840
were that thick. Like

299
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:31,600
this is weird. Do you notice kind of like when you flick your eyes back and

300
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:37,840
forth? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you know what that is? >> Yeah, David Goautier noticed it as well

301
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,799
when he came in. Um it's like Yeah. If you flick them back and forth really

302
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:44,080
quick or if you blink sometimes it happens. I'm not sure.

303
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:48,880
>> Blinking's okay for me as long as I don't reposition my eyeball.

304
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,760
>> It's not terrible. It is no worse than the rainbow effect that I would get from

305
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,960
a DLP projector. >> Sure. >> Is how I would explain it. That

306
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:02,159
controller makes some noise though. Hey. >> Yeah. >> I would want this in like a cooled

307
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,280
separated cabinet or I'd want it in another room for sure.

308
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,480
>> But hey, it's rack mountable. >> Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's rack mountable.

309
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:12,960
So, like if I was able to move this home, which I'm not saying I will, but

310
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,840
if I was able to, I could easily just chuck this in the rack and then run

311
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,320
what? Yeah. Just run Oh god. Does all of this Ethernet need to go to the display?

312
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:26,480
>> Yeah. >> Do you see the giant bundle of Ethernet cables coming out the side there?

313
00:22:24,159 --> 00:22:29,919
>> I do. Okay, I could figure that out. Look at this. This is freaking daylight.

314
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,919
I mean, here, look at these guys way back there. [laughter]

315
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:40,720
>> The TV is the only light in this room right now. >> Yeah, >> in this dark room. You know what? I am

316
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,080
not noticing a problem >> with latency.

317
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,480
>> With latency. >> Yeah, it seems okay so far. Whereas the other video wall, our old Yes Tech, you

318
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,679
know, beautiful display, but >> yes, tech, more like no tech.

319
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,200
>> No, no, no. They're great. We just have an old panel. >> You got nothing. You got nothing. Oh,

320
00:22:53,919 --> 00:22:58,480
you got nothing. You got nothing. SPLIT THE D. SPLIT THE OH, THE MOTION is

321
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,440
perfect. >> Yeah, right. >> It like the P word is a big word, but

322
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,559
one of the reasons other than that I just really like this game and excellent

323
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,440
rectangle is super cool and you should go check out tape to tape. Other than

324
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,520
that, one of the reasons I really like to use this is a dark jersey on the

325
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,240
white ice gives me a really good opportunity to have a look at what the

326
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,559
pixel response times are like. Uh, >> perfect.

327
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,880
>> You're in my way. [laughter] >> I'm just I'm sorry. I'm looking. I'm

328
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:29,120
evaluating. Like, definitely being at 60 Hz means that

329
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,640
>> we're at 60 Hz. Yeah. But you heard the

330
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:34,400
man. He's trying to make uh they're trying to work on 120 Hz already.

331
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:40,799
>> I'm looking at his jersey. The in motion clarity is not going to be great. We're

332
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:43,679
still at 60 Hz. And I also wonder if

333
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:47,200
there might be a little bit of like smoothing or something that it's doing.

334
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:52,240
>> I don't know. One difference I've noticed though while playing this instead of uh watching a movie, I'm not

335
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,000
seeing that like flickering stuff we were talking about earlier. >> You just want me blinking and moving.

336
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,120
>> No, no. You're too You're two goals ahead. I'm going to lose. I don't care.

337
00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:03,520
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,

338
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:08,880
>> right? >> So I wonder if it's just not like >> Yeah. I wonder if it's just not sinking

339
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:13,760
up perfectly. Whereas this looks like great. >> This looks incredible,

340
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:18,799
>> right? Confirm.

341
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:21,279
Jeez. This is an absolute What? Okay,

342
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:28,320
Ignore everything I'm doing right now because it's basically all wrong.

343
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:29,360
Latency is not a problem. This looks

344
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:35,200
spectacular. >> Like, it's just 60 Hz stuff. It's not, you know, bad screen tearing. I just

345
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:39,919
want to sit in here and watch movies and play games. This is incredible.

346
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:44,080
One benefit of this that it would be easy to overlook is that because it's so

347
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:49,120
much larger than my one at home, >> I could go cinematic and still have a

348
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:50,960
giant display. So, I want to try that. This is how I want to play this game

349
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:57,440
now. >> Right. >> Cuz it's so it's such a like gorgeous

350
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,880
like cinematic looking game. >> Yeah. >> This aspect ratio just Yeah. There it

351
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:07,600
is. I'm really digging the ultra wide. I can't even see the top. Maybe the bottom

352
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,240
a little just cuz the reflection of the light off the floor, but like it's just

353
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,360
black. >> It's just black. >> We've also got Cyberpunk on here.

354
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:17,760
>> Yeah. Okay. Last game, Cyberpunk. Cuz I want to I want to feel

355
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:22,640
>> You need to try the first person for sure. >> All right. >> Looks pretty good.

356
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:27,279
>> So, if you do happen to get one of these and you're playing some games and the

357
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:31,360
HDR doesn't look quite right, definitely go in. And this is one of the few times

358
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:35,840
where I've actually really had to tweak in-game HDR settings to make it look

359
00:25:33,919 --> 00:25:39,039
proper. Um, you're definitely going to want to do that. But now that we dialed

360
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:41,600
it in, like this looks great. >> This looks incredible.

361
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:46,080
>> How's the mouse moving? >> It's a little floaty. >> Sure. >> Not enough that I would notice with a

362
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:50,640
controller, >> but definitely enough that I can notice with a keyboard and mouse. And it's not

363
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:57,520
just 60 Hz here. >> It's not bad, though. >> It's usable. I can't believe we have

364
00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:59,200
this now. I am so watching Olympic

365
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:04,960
hockey on this. Now, let's talk about maintenance. Back when I was considering

366
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,440
splurging on a the wall and then milking

367
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,039
it for content to justify it, I was actually put off of it by a professional

368
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,520
installer who contacted me and said, "Hey man, on installation day, they look

369
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:20,880
amazing, but over time the panels tend to die." Well, AWOL, like many vendors

370
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:24,640
who supply these video walls, thought of that. We already showed that they

371
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,679
provided some extras and they also provide all the equipment that you need

372
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,600
to swap out a panel. >> To be clear, their panels are rated on

373
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:36,720
the website at over 100,000 hours. >> So, theoretically, um I actually did

374
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:40,640
notice a green stuck pixel here for like a couple minutes and then it went away.

375
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:47,360
So, if it were to come back at any point, theoretically, it's as simple as

376
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:51,279
figuring out how this works and doing what I'm about to do. We have extras in

377
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:56,440
case I drop one, right? I think so. >> You know what? Let's see how it goes.

378
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,440
Here's one.

379
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:03,760
Is it Is it like a valve? Is it? >> I don't know.

380
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:07,000
>> That's trippy. Hey. All right. And then we just

381
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:15,039
swapping a panel. So easy. I could do

382
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,799
it. Hey, sir. Uh, we appear to have found a hole in your display. There's

383
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,720
your problem. There's your problem right there. Let me get that sorted out for

384
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:27,039
you there, bud. Thanks Awal for bringing this over.

385
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:30,159
Like, wow, did you guys ever do an incredible job. Yeah, they didn't

386
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:34,960
sponsor the video, but they did provide the display. And we are going to be getting so much flipping use out of this

387
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,880
thing, man. >> Where is it going to live permanently now? >> I think it's probably going to stay

388
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,120
here, >> right? >> It's got to because >> this fits so well.

389
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:48,480
>> And that's going to make this so much of a better set. Like anytime, dude. I'm

390
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:53,520
talking about some new 6090 GPU. We're in front of this thing. Like, this is a

391
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:57,360
gorgeous room now. And it's all about this centerpiece. That's one thing I

392
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,960
could see is the production team stealing it. >> Yeah. >> Using it as like a virtual production

393
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,600
background. >> Yeah. >> Sky's the limits, man. >> Yeah.

394
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,919
>> And the sky's is the limit to our sponsor. >> Sure.

408
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,679
>> I was thinking the last video wall. >> Oh, sure. Yeah, let's do that. It's been

409
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,360
a big upgrade. Huge. [laughter] A little smaller screen, you know, 179 in down to

410
00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:14,240
162. But, uh, >> the quality though, >> oh, night and day.
