WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.799 Giant home cinema displays like this one have existed for longer than you would 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.000 probably [music] think. And I've wanted one from the moment I laid eyes on them. 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:16.160 But there's one teensy problem. >> How How much does it cost? 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:22.560 >> Can you say honestly speaking that nobody needs a TV that's anywhere from 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.199 146 in to 292 in. There's a lot How much 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? 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 00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.920 which is the upfront cost? >> You understand that this display starts 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:42.160 at around $360,000, right? And I was like, yes, I am aware 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:48.559 of this >> starts. In fairness, Samsung's the wall 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:55.440 has come down a little bit since then, but this technology is still well beyond 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.680 the means of the nonbillionaire class. 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 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:09.600 does pretty much the same thing for $130,000 00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.360 off? Like the Costco classic, Awall's 00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:16.400 sales pitch for their 4K micro LED C 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:18.080 series sounds too good to be true. Like 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.759 the wall, it's [music] using chip onboard technology to achieve sub 1 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:28.640 millm pixel pitch. Like the wall, it offers over a,000 nits of peak 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:35.360 brightness. And like the wall, it can manage OLED level blacks because black 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:37.360 is just off. Unlike the wall though, it 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.840 comes at a fraction of the price while being larger, managing higher sustained 00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.560 brightness. And this one blew my mind. It's IP65 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 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.680 of makes sense for a technology that's often used in digital signage outdoors. 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.200 But still, when AWOL agreed to send us 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.280 one of these things, I could hardly contain my excitement. But now I've got 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 00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.360 a giant plywood backboard and a little 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:15.200 help from some old friends, some of which own a display? And also, our 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.599 sponsor, HTC Viviveror. HTC has launched 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.879 a web-based way for you to explore and game in 3D Worlds on PCs, mobile 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:27.280 devices, and VR headsets.

Start 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.160 your virtual adventure with HTC Viverse using our link below. 00:02:33.926 --> 00:02:35.946 [music] 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:43.599 Why don't we start with a look inside the boxes? Sure. Unlike last time we 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.391 bought an LED video wall on Craigslist, we've got packing list listers, 00:02:46.371 --> 00:02:53.120 [laughter] packing lists and documentation, which 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 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.000 splicer from Novastar. Remember when we thought they were just kind of a rando 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 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. 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.599 >> For something that's never meant to be seen, she's kind of gorgeous. 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.440 >> This thing can do 4x4x4 RGB, so no more chroma subsampling. 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. 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.599 >> Sick. >> And we can do whatever configuration we want. So, if you want multi- view, if 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:30.799 you just want one giant screen. >> What about HDR? 00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:34.319 >> Yes, it'll do up to HDR10 plus. >> What about latency for gaming? 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, 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.680 we'll feel it, but it should be like a proper gaming experience. 00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.200 >> Oh, dude. Kind of want to take a closer look at the back, though. 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 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:54.640 2.0. Okay, >> not 2.1. 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 00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:06.159 modules are actually modular. 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.920 So that's our HDMI 2.0 board. And then I 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.720 guess with the same bandwidth that you can do 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.079 one HDMI 2.0, they can do a whack ton of 1.3s and 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 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.680 modules. >> Yeah. >> And we should be able to do up to 26 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.720 million pixels over RJ45. >> The last big thing is gen lock, which is 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.759 used to synchronize with other devices. All right. What else is in here? This is 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.720 heavier than I expected it to be. >> Yeah. mounting hardware, tools. 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.520 >> What is all this? >> I just told you. It's like we got some 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.759 power cords. >> I got a whole kit, dude. I got like a 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.280 suction cup. I got ESD safe gloves. I 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:51.199 got a maintenance tool. Magnet adjustment tool. >> Oh, you know what that suction cup's 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.840 for? You can hot swap these. 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, 00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.199 you can hot swap just that one panel. That's right. The suction cup. 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 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:07.199 sent us everything. They didn't cheap out. We've got all of the spare parts 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 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.560 can do it yourself. And they say it takes about two people, 2 hours. That's 00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.160 probably a professional time. >> But 90% of their customers just have 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 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:27.840 on your giant video wall. What's another like four grand to have a couple people 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 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.759 power supplies and receiving cards. On the subject of power though, I was 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.240 floored when I found out how little power this thing uses. For context, the 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 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:48.080 power it up, and it caused major problems at the last whale land when we 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:52.080 didn't account for the power in our floor plan. This new one, what does it 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:57.039 work out to? >> It's like 65 watts per meter squared. 00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.120 >> That's crazy. This is another major advantage over the wall. At least back 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:06.080 when I did research on it, when Samsung required you to have a dedicated air 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.319 conditioner unit in the room just to account for the extra heat from the 00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:13.759 wall. >> They do recommend that as well in their specs when you're planning stuff out, 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.160 but I don't think it's a 10,000 BTU air conditioner. 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:19.919 >> Cabinet connection plates, more gloves and suction cups. That makes sense cuz 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 00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:27.039 some gloves dirty, you don't want to keep using those. You should probably 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:34.240 switch your gloves >> every time. >> Later. Yeah. >> Every time. >> Otherwise, three kits. Love this. It's 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:38.800 just called thick connection. [laughter] >> Hell yeah. 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:42.479 >> Bolts for days, tire iron, >> a bunch of RJ45, a cabinet data cable, 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.759 340 mm, >> USB thumb drive. >> These are just wall mounting brackets 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.160 cuz you can do it yourself. Hub board. >> Oh, 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.800 >> two pieces. How dare they assume what type of content I'm going to watch on 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.560 this. >> I think that's it for this one cuz these 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:02.160 are all just mounting brackets, long trim. >> So, in classic Linus and PLO unboxing 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.759 video walls fashion, we picked the least interesting box first. 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.720 >> 100 Wait, the card was in there. The uh >> Oh, that's true. That's true. 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.240 >> The Novastar video wall splicer. >> Nope, you're right. Ready for round two? 00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:17.199 >> Yeah, this should be our uh panels. This is our Cobb.9 mm C series. 00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:20.479 >> Oh, that's not what I was expecting. This must be the back. [laughter] 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.080 >> Yeah, you can see all the electronics on it, though. Because instead of putting 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:27.680 little dodes, uh, and doing it, you know, as SMD, this is just all the 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. 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 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.639 electronics on it. >> She's dense. Really dense. Wow. You can 00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:48.000 barely make out the individual pixels. When we contrast that with our old video 00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:49.919 wall, which to be clear, we love and use 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:55.360 very regularly. All hands quarterly meetings, whale, it's just that this is 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.240 a completely different class of product. This damage in the corner here is 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:04.000 actually kind of convenient because you can see where one of the old square LED 00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:06.160 modules became desoldered and fell off. 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:11.520 These new ones use a completely different approach. Instead of using SMD 00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:16.080 or surface mounted device which has the LED, the electronics and the wiring all 00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:21.840 packaged together and soldered on, this new panel from AWOL uses flip chip chip 00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:28.080 on board or COB. With these guys, the LEDs are attached directly to the 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:30.560 substrate and the chip is well, it's on 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:36.000 the board. Basically, what that means is you can pack way more teeny tiny little 00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:42.560 lights into the same amount of space. That's what makes these microLEDD rather 00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:45.519 than regular LED or miniLEDD. Our pixel 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.000 pitch here is just.9 mm. >> Bang. Bang. 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:53.360 >> 9 mm. >> Yeah, I got it. >> Also, despite our new video wall having 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.440 way more pixels than our old one, it actually uses significantly less power 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 00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:07.600 need before we can go any further. >> Oh, it's the back piece. Oh yeah. Oh 00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:12.320 yeah. Here we go. These are the cabinets conveniently in a less square shape this 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.600 time, which will make it a little bit easier for us to build a more cinematic 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.880 display aspect ratio. >> They're all numbered. So before they 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 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. 00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:34.640 >> Oh, that's super convenient. [music] Actually, alignment for the modules is done with magnets. 00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:38.399 And it just pops on like that. >> You just do it seven more times 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:42.640 >> times 36. [laughter] I'm actually not done talking about this 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:46.560 whole flip chip chip on board thing though. There's a huge number of 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:51.279 benefits. One that we didn't even talk about before is that see how black this 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:55.040 is compared to the old one. Just like any other display, the blackest black 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 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:05.279 this big, that's not very black. So, our 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:07.760 contrast should be way better. Also, 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.440 reliability. Man, [music] we saw that one that was knocked off the corner 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 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 00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:26.320 anything, but >> there's an encapsulint. >> Yes. >> Not a coating. It's an encapsulate. 00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:26.959 >> Yes. Wow. really grabs onto it. You want 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 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. 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 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 00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.320 wonderful Floatplane hoodie. Exclusive to Floatplane members.g.gg/flatlane. 00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:57.040 How many pixels is this? >> He said 640x 360. Wow. So that's about 00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:01.760 220,000 or something. Let me see if I just have the 230,400. 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 00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:09.600 display. >> That's crazy. >> There you go. >> They have a little bit of play, so you 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:14.399 can kind of get them >> exactly perfect. Yeah, >> realistically, you know, as long as 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 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:24.560 to see these seams. It is kind of the last hurdle for MicroLEDD to figure out 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:28.079 is how to fully eliminate the seams because even when I've seen them at CES, 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 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 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 00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:44.720 figured it out. Just full disclosure, they absolutely showed us how to do this 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:47.360 once before Lionus tried to do this himself. That's why, you know, it's 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.000 going so smoothly. >> Hey, listen. Listen. I could have 00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:56.000 figured it out. >> Shout out Joel from Awall. 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 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:04.720 how they're doing in there? >> Yeah. Welcome to our new and improved 00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:08.800 theater room. We put some acoustic dampening in here now, so it sounds way 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. 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.079 It's just the old one from the employee lounge, not an Atmos system or anything. 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 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:24.480 crazy display and sound technology in the future. Still got some more work to 00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:31.519 do on the acoustic treatment, but it's way better than it was before. And this 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:33.680 is where a wall is going. Only one small 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.440 issue. How are we going to mount this? Someone must know the answer to that. I 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:43.120 made one for you. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah, I helped. I forgot what number it 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 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:52.839 the >> Oh, >> container. And then >> exactly like helping dad. 00:12:54.218 --> 00:12:56.238 [music] 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.839 >> Okay. All right, Linus. You know we're done. >> I'm ready. >> We built it. 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 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.560 warm in here. Is that from the excitement or >> both? Ow. 00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:23.839 >> There you go. >> Holy Oh my god. It's so sharp. 00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:25.920 Holy Now, I've experienced this 00:13:23.839 --> 00:13:30.480 before. When you look at the panels close, right, like the pixels like this 00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:34.320 small and it's mostly black >> and there's like a weird effect with 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.000 microLEDD where you step back past a threshold 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, 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:48.079 they're really hard to find. >> You guys freaking 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:49.600 killed it because my job is to look at 00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:54.800 and find everything that's wrong with it. And like I've spent so many 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.959 years on the show floor like being like, "Yeah, microledd is pretty cool, but 00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:02.560 like you can tell from the seams between the 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:08.720 pixels." Now I'm not offaxis yet. You've got to 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:09.760 be like right beside it. [laughter] Oh 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.360 wow, >> that's really seamless. The mat too. 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. 00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:22.044 >> We haven't even turned off the pot lights yet. [laughter] 00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:31.279 Like okay, like to be clear, right? Like a thousand and change nits peak 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:36.959 brightness is not that competitive with the brightest, you know, QLEDs these 00:14:33.839 --> 00:14:40.720 days, right? But like in a light 00:14:36.959 --> 00:14:42.079 controlled room, dude, it's lots. 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 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. 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 00:14:53.680 --> 00:15:02.720 measured almost 90% to BT 2020. >> Wow. This is the point where I can't 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.480 find the seams anymore. That is crazy. 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 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.600 screen this size. [laughter] Well, okay, 00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:18.240 never is a big word. I can think of some pretty immersive content, but I would 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:24.639 never want to be closer than this. Tell me something. The 60 Hz limitation, is 00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:25.760 that the controller or the panel? >> That's 00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:29.440 >> That's the panel. >> That's the panel. The panel 60 Hz. Okay. 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 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.519 production to do all 120 Hz and then high. 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:42.320 >> Do you have a trait in program? >> This is insane, dude. For movie 00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:44.720 watching, like if I had unlimited budget, 00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:48.320 >> it's immersive. >> That's one word for it. Yeah. Okay, we 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 00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:57.639 yet with the sound treatment. Oh, dude. Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to Okay. 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:05.519 I want to steal it. >> Oh my god, it's so bright. The bright 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.440 scenes like >> Oh, by the way, this is actually not even at 1200 nits right now. 00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:15.306 >> What? >> At 100%. It's 800 nits, but you can 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.399 basically juice it even more um [clears throat] through the software. 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:25.519 >> Dude, this might be all I would need, >> right? I have dreamed of large format 00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:27.519 microLEDD like becoming accessible 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:33.600 basically since the first time I saw the Sony Cletus display and like yes 80 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:35.120 grand installed is still not reasonable 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:39.600 >> or like 90 but still >> but here's the thing guys theing 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:44.079 trajectory the trajectory 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 00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:52.480 smoke >> 100% absolutely I think this is the best 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. 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 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 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 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:13.120 moving the magnets so that it stays nice and aligned. Some Windows HDR HDR stuff 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.160 is a little touchy and if you switch inputs, it gets a little upset for, you 00:17:15.199 --> 00:17:20.559 know, a couple seconds. >> Yeah. Okay. So basically projector things anyway% 00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:25.679 >> which is what they're competing with anyway. >> Exactly. And this crushes like any 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:30.160 projector. Oh my god. >> Disclaimer. We do have a 27,000 LUM 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:33.840 projector sitting on the other side of this wall that >> Sure. 00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:38.559 >> Sure. >> Any is a big word, but any projector 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 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:48.880 jaw broken, like this would be the ultimate place to watch it. Their 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:51.840 professional installations are typically even better than this because, you know, 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:54.640 we do things a little jank sometimes. Like you can see all the cables coming 00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:58.480 out the side there. >> I didn't even notice them. [laughter] I 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.520 was so wonder. >> I know. I just want to make it clear to 00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:04.400 the audience that like when they do it for someone professionally, they do it 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, 00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:16.400 but everything else is just beautiful. The mat's crazy. There's a pot right 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:20.320 there. I should be getting wicked glare and rainbow effect and whatever. It's 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 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:29.120 the matte effect. >> Yeah, >> the lack of glare just wow. How's the 00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:35.679 HDR handling though? >> It looks a little off. >> It's been good depending on like the 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:40.880 format and the system we're using. Um, some movies actually look great and I 00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:44.559 know that with uh Halo specifically, you know how normally like 50 right in the 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.799 middle looks good. We had to crank that 100 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:53.200 fixed and it looks great that way. This is probably the worst I've seen just 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:56.240 Windows HDR in general. Like you know how it looks. As long as you get the 00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:00.880 right game with the right settings dialed in, it looks solid >> cuz Yeah, this looks desaturated. 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:04.720 >> This looks desaturated for sure. Like did Encanto >> No. 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 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:15.360 content or um the receiver cuz we're also passing through the receiver as 00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:17.520 well. Oh, in the cinematic aspect ratio, 00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:22.000 >> you can actually set this to 21 by9 if you want. He did a few preconfigurations 00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:26.799 for us. He's got like a 2x2 grid, a 21x9, and then a full screen. 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.360 >> What will happen if I tell it to transcode? Now it pops. 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 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 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:43.679 large screen but the color and now we're getting those specular highlights. I 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.280 wonder if this is something where we can just tell the controller manually this 00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:51.200 is HDR10. >> We literally just got all this stuff 00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:53.840 working. So, there's probably some kinks to be worked out. Like even this looks 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:59.520 amazing. Like [laughter] >> this is SDR though. I know, but like 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:05.923 it's still handling it so incredibly. >> One does not simply 00:20:01.520 --> 00:20:05.923 >> acquire a 162 in TV. [laughter] 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:13.360 >> Except when we do. I've never seen this look this good. The 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 00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:21.520 how much we could possibly need. >> I know. And then we see the bigger one 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? 00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:32.880 Jesus. Sorry. Sorry. All right. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. 00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:38.760 I can feel the heat of this breath, dude. Going to the movie theater is 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.760 ruined for me now. 00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:50.520 >> And for how most movies are mastered, it's enough bright. 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.520 >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. 00:20:51.064 --> 00:20:57.400 >> [screaming] >> Oh my [laughter] god. 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:05.120 >> Wow. Okay. Gaming. All right. I can feel 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 00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:15.760 one who's using these flip chip chip on board panels. Um, but I haven't 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:19.120 experienced them yet. And the efficiency 00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:20.960 is incredible. It's so thin. Even just a 00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:27.120 few short years ago, we had professional like miniLEDD back lit uh monitors that 00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:29.840 were that thick. Like 00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:31.600 this is weird. Do you notice kind of like when you flick your eyes back and 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:37.840 forth? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do you know what that is? >> Yeah, David Goautier noticed it as well 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 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:44.080 quick or if you blink sometimes it happens. I'm not sure. 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.880 >> Blinking's okay for me as long as I don't reposition my eyeball. 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 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.960 a DLP projector. >> Sure. >> Is how I would explain it. That 00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:02.159 controller makes some noise though. Hey. >> Yeah. >> I would want this in like a cooled 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:05.280 separated cabinet or I'd want it in another room for sure. 00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:08.480 >> But hey, it's rack mountable. >> Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's rack mountable. 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 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 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? 00:22:19.679 --> 00:22:26.480 >> Yeah. >> Do you see the giant bundle of Ethernet cables coming out the side there? 00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:29.919 >> I do. Okay, I could figure that out. Look at this. This is freaking daylight. 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:33.919 I mean, here, look at these guys way back there. [laughter] 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 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.080 not noticing a problem >> with latency. 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 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.679 know, beautiful display, but >> yes, tech, more like no tech. 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, 00:22:53.919 --> 00:22:58.480 you got nothing. You got nothing. SPLIT THE D. SPLIT THE OH, THE MOTION is 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:03.440 perfect. >> Yeah, right. >> It like the P word is a big word, but 00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:06.559 one of the reasons other than that I just really like this game and excellent 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:09.440 rectangle is super cool and you should go check out tape to tape. Other than 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 00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:18.240 white ice gives me a really good opportunity to have a look at what the 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:20.559 pixel response times are like. Uh, >> perfect. 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 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:29.120 evaluating. Like, definitely being at 60 Hz means that 00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:30.640 >> we're at 60 Hz. Yeah. But you heard the 00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:34.400 man. He's trying to make uh they're trying to work on 120 Hz already. 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 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:43.679 still at 60 Hz. And I also wonder if 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:47.200 there might be a little bit of like smoothing or something that it's doing. 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 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. 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. 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, 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 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:13.760 up perfectly. Whereas this looks like great. >> This looks incredible, 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:18.799 >> right? Confirm. 00:24:13.760 --> 00:24:21.279 Jeez. This is an absolute What? Okay, 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:28.320 Ignore everything I'm doing right now because it's basically all wrong. 00:24:23.760 --> 00:24:29.360 Latency is not a problem. This looks 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 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:39.919 want to sit in here and watch movies and play games. This is incredible. 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 00:24:42.159 --> 00:24:49.120 much larger than my one at home, >> I could go cinematic and still have a 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 00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:57.440 now. >> Right. >> Cuz it's so it's such a like gorgeous 00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:02.880 like cinematic looking game. >> Yeah. >> This aspect ratio just Yeah. There it 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 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 00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:15.360 black. >> It's just black. >> We've also got Cyberpunk on here. 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:17.760 >> Yeah. Okay. Last game, Cyberpunk. Cuz I want to I want to feel 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:22.640 >> You need to try the first person for sure. >> All right. >> Looks pretty good. 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 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 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:35.840 where I've actually really had to tweak in-game HDR settings to make it look 00:25:33.919 --> 00:25:39.039 proper. Um, you're definitely going to want to do that. But now that we dialed 00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:41.600 it in, like this looks great. >> This looks incredible. 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 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 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 00:25:54.159 --> 00:25:59.200 this now. I am so watching Olympic 00:25:57.520 --> 00:26:04.960 hockey on this. Now, let's talk about maintenance. Back when I was considering 00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:07.440 splurging on a the wall and then milking 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:11.039 it for content to justify it, I was actually put off of it by a professional 00:26:09.520 --> 00:26:15.520 installer who contacted me and said, "Hey man, on installation day, they look 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:20.880 amazing, but over time the panels tend to die." Well, AWOL, like many vendors 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:24.640 who supply these video walls, thought of that. We already showed that they 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.679 provided some extras and they also provide all the equipment that you need 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:31.600 to swap out a panel. >> To be clear, their panels are rated on 00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:36.720 the website at over 100,000 hours. >> So, theoretically, um I actually did 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:40.640 notice a green stuck pixel here for like a couple minutes and then it went away. 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:47.360 So, if it were to come back at any point, theoretically, it's as simple as 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 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. 00:26:53.120 --> 00:26:56.440 Here's one. 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.760 Is it Is it like a valve? Is it? >> I don't know. 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:07.000 >> That's trippy. Hey. All right. And then we just 00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:15.039 swapping a panel. So easy. I could do 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.799 it. Hey, sir. Uh, we appear to have found a hole in your display. There's 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:22.720 your problem. There's your problem right there. Let me get that sorted out for 00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:27.039 you there, bud. Thanks Awal for bringing this over. 00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:30.159 Like, wow, did you guys ever do an incredible job. Yeah, they didn't 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 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 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:43.120 here, >> right? >> It's got to because >> this fits so well. 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 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 00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:57.360 gorgeous room now. And it's all about this centerpiece. That's one thing I 00:27:55.600 --> 00:28:00.960 could see is the production team stealing it. >> Yeah. >> Using it as like a virtual production 00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:05.600 background. >> Yeah. >> Sky's the limits, man. >> Yeah. 00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:09.919 >> And the sky's is the limit to our sponsor. >> Sure. 00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:13.600 >> HTC Viviveror.
