1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,960
i'm pretty sure we all saw that viral clip out of china where the guy's like

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,160
kicking this tv and it doesn't break and if you guys are anything like me you

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,039
probably googled it and tried to find out some more information like what is

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,720
this tv who makes it and is the thing

5
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,800
actually kick proof and there's no information out there

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:35,200
fortunately we have dug into the root of this and this i am assured by the

7
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:40,320
friend of the guy who runs the warehouse that ships our lttstore.com merchandise

8
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,559
that this is in fact the kick proof tv unfortunately all the packaging's in

9
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:49,039
chinese i don't know what this brand is i don't know who this guy is and i don't

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,320
see any indication on either side of this packaging that this thing is in

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,800
fact kick resistant let alone kick proof

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:01,039
but i'm gonna kick it anyway not yet later after this message from

13

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,080
andy i don't think i stand a chance here without my trusty chinese translator so

18
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,560
can you come and hook me up please

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,799
wow thank you for that let's start with this do you know this brand i know this

20
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,920
brand but i almost forgot this brand exists okay so it's like curtis

21
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,280
it's like oh yeah they make portable cd walkmans or whatever

22
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,560
yeah led i got that led

23
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:52,720
basically screen tv basically this part says

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,159
our brand yeah the total value of our brand is like 7.5 billion

25
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:04,159
chinese who puts that on their box who cares so it's must be 55 inch

26
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:10,800
4k this is a fairly budget tv i think it's priced at about 400 dollars for the

27
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,959
55 look at this you can immediately tell

28
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,920
that there is a layer in front of the actual display panel behind it honestly

29
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:24,959
that kind of seems like cheating we made a kick proof tv by putting the tv behind

30
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,520
a gigantic thick layer of glass

31
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:31,280
well i i don't know that it's glass it's quite ripply so it could be some

32
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,959
kind of a plastic or a composite standard vase amount only two HDMI

33
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,080
inputs composite component wait two composites

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,000
no component look at this antenna huh vga in that's curious and it's

35
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:50,000
apparently a smart tv it does have an rj45 jack isn't china 120 volt nope

36
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:55,120
1040 or 220. even though it uses the same prongs yeah same problem but six

37
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,280
amp 250 volt 220. let me call brian the electrician

38
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,800
hey you've reached the voicemail box of Linus sebastian please leave a message

39
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,760
up no i'm just i'm just playing with you um hey brian

40
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,000
oh my god he hung up

41
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,599
wait new idea maybe we don't need brian we'll take it over to the workshop the

42
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,599
outlet for the mill wouldn't work but it turns out that the four-prong outlet for

43
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,519
the lathe i actually have this old adapter that i

44
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:29,760
bought for the server room that i never ended up using we got power

45
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:34,480
i wonder there is a is there a physical button on the back

46
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:39,760
hey oh my god it has an ad the first thing

47
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,319
when you turn it on that's hilarious that's terrible

48
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,120
i can tell you right now that this panel is not fast you can actually see the

49
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,239
ghosting the trails behind these things as it's just moving across the screen

50
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,920
even though it's so slowly and you know what the craziest part is is we weren't

51
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,760
even connected to the internet yet that buick ad

52
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,000
is in the tv like it's all it's pre-loaded wow it's super slow look at

53
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:10,159
this what is this is this an ad that's an ad because

54
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,159
that's why they need the kick proof tv

55
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,919
so uh what are we looking at here we've got some chinese dramas

56
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:20,720
we've got some super slow response on

57
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,600
this thing this is like super crazy

58
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:30,479
reflective but so that's the thing is one of the things that apple did so well

59
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:35,040
on their mobile devices over the last 10 years is reducing the air gap between

60
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:39,360
the front glass and the actual panel because that air gap is where you get a

61
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,199
lot of the distortion and that's where you get a lot of the reflection okay so

62
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,840
i gotta pay for that you have to pay for that can i play a preview

63
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,320
maybe the black levels on this are terrible

64
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,680
and you said this was a va panel right it's samsung

65
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,919
samsung panel apparently i guess a big part of the problem though is just that

66
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,040
we have ambient light and we've got this horrible reflection

67
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,520
look at this i got english subtitles and everything other than the reflection

68
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:10,800
issues i would say the viewing angles meet expectations you're losing a lot of

69
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:15,759
color saturation but i think that is to do with the reflectiveness

70
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:20,400
so what i'm looking for is if we minimize the reflections does the color

71
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,560
quality change oh it does yeah because what you'll notice is that you actually

72
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:30,160
get a ghost of the image that is refracting off the

73
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,680
front glass oh yeah i see that yeah yeah it's hard to say if the problem is the

74
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,000
panel or the glass but if i had to guess based on that this is a samsung va panel

75
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,479
i would say it just has to do with this gigantic air gap and how much it

76
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,880
distorts the light that's coming out of the panel itself so is that it it's time

77
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:50,800
we were being a little facetious before we can imagine some scenarios where

78
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,720
having a more robust tv might be important test number one

79
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,000
gaming in vr and you forgot to put on your wrist strap andy let's simulate the

80
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,160
vr experience can you put my hood over my eyes please ah

81
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,919
ltdstore.com yeah thanks for that i'm playing my beat saver

82
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,319
i'm slicing on dyson he's slashing he's whacking

83
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,759
is it broken did it break why are you guys making

84
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:20,000
those noises okay don't worry this controller is already a dead one this time i'm going for like a

85
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:24,240
big sideways slash it break no

86
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,240
like the whole tv was like where'd i hit it

87
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:32,560
this part not even a scratch nothing scenario number two something a

88
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,400
little more intentional close your eyes and imagine this you're on blood gulch

89
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:42,240
capture the flag you got one more cap and this 10 year old shrieking into the

90
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,880
microphone no scopes you from across the freaking map

91
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,080
there's plastic residue from the controller that i'm wiping off the tv do

92
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:57,600
you see that the residue so that's not part of the tv i go like

93
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,160
that it's gone of course you didn't pay good

94
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:06,880
money to cs throw controllers at the tv you wanna see us kick it so we're gonna

95
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,599
start with a simple test that's very close to what they do in the viral video

96
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:14,960
which honestly speaking was pretty weak sauce i'm gonna take my shoe

97
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,720
off but they basically went like this

98
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,960
okay meets expectations

99
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,919
i mean i'm hitting it reasonably hard

100
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,720
i think we've got the same tv now let's kick it up a notch

101
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,280
i get it no doesn't need to be cool yeah

102
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,759
okay i'm dennis dennis blackmail taekwondo

103
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:56,960
this time you've got some friends over they're playing charades and they've had

104
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:03,180
a little bit too much to the clue is

105
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:13,560
power rangers jackie chan uh gymnastics

106
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:13,560
taekwondo black belt oh glasses nerds

107
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,759
oh my god oh look at it did he break it

108
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,840
i see a mark where oh my god

109
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,240
can you see it brandon yep nothing

110
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,320
what no way david

111
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,740
taekwondo black belt 12 years of soccer single

112
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,320
one year ballet

113
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,640
new scenario you invite over a friend to check out this sweet new taivo you know

114
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:55,480
video that you've been following along to and your friend's a little

115
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,480
enthusiastic

116
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,080
oh my god

117
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,080
you put a hole in the wall but wait wait

118
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,959
james a little bit of jiu jitsu a little bit of kickboxing mostly just happened

119
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:20,240
to be on set new scenario you got someone over and you decide to just kind

120
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:24,000
of roughhouse and wrestle in the living room so this this one's really fun you

121
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,160
just put your feet together like this and the idea is that the right foot must

122
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:34,040
stay planted you can only make contact with just your right hand so it's like

123
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,040
uh kind of yeah

124
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:43,519
is that cheating okay i didn't know you were gonna go

125
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,640
right then but it's good

126
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:54,320
so that was the difference between that one is it wasn't quite as sharp a point of contact

127
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:58,959
but that was my full body weight

128
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,959
huh i'm nick big sports fan come on

129
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:18,000
there's some residue again is this where you hit it yeah right that's where i hit

130
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:20,240
it let's see does it wipe off

131
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,040
and it's gone so the image quality ain't

132
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:27,360
great the viewing angles kind of suck

133
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,720
but is it as advertised

134
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:39,360
yeah for better for worse whatever your reason for needing a kick proof tv is

135
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:41,040
this thing is kick proof

136
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:46,800
af unreal i cannot believe

137
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:52,279
that this thing actually held up that was with shoes i mean okay sounds but

138
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,920
the bottom of them are shoe like the hd6xx headphones which were a
