WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:21.039
probably googled it and tried to find out some more information like what is

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.720
this tv who makes it and is the thing

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:28.800
actually kick proof and there's no information out there

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:35.200
fortunately we have dug into the root of this and this i am assured by the

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:40.320
friend of the guy who runs the warehouse that ships our lttstore.com merchandise

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.559
that this is in fact the kick proof tv unfortunately all the packaging's in

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

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.320
see any indication on either side of this packaging that this thing is in

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.800
fact kick resistant let alone kick proof

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.039
but i'm gonna kick it anyway not yet later after this message from

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.879

we're going gonna have that linked below

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.080
andy i don't think i stand a chance here without my trusty chinese translator so

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.560
can you come and hook me up please

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

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.920
brand but i almost forgot this brand exists okay so it's like curtis

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:43.280
it's like oh yeah they make portable cd walkmans or whatever

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.560
yeah led i got that led

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.720
basically screen tv basically this part says

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.159
our brand yeah the total value of our brand is like 7.5 billion

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:04.159
chinese who puts that on their box who cares so it's must be 55 inch

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

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.959
55 look at this you can immediately tell

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.920
that there is a layer in front of the actual display panel behind it honestly

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

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:27.520
a gigantic thick layer of glass

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

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.959
kind of a plastic or a composite standard vase amount only two HDMI

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.080
inputs composite component wait two composites

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:44.000
no component look at this antenna huh vga in that's curious and it's

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:50.000
apparently a smart tv it does have an rj45 jack isn't china 120 volt nope

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:55.120
1040 or 220. even though it uses the same prongs yeah same problem but six

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:57.280
amp 250 volt 220. let me call brian the electrician

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:02.800
hey you've reached the voicemail box of Linus sebastian please leave a message

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.760
up no i'm just i'm just playing with you um hey brian

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.000
oh my god he hung up

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

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

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:23.519
the lathe i actually have this old adapter that i

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:29.760
bought for the server room that i never ended up using we got power

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:34.480
i wonder there is a is there a physical button on the back

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:39.760
hey oh my god it has an ad the first thing

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:44.319
when you turn it on that's hilarious that's terrible

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

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.239
ghosting the trails behind these things as it's just moving across the screen

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

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:59.760
even connected to the internet yet that buick ad

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

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:10.159
this what is this is this an ad that's an ad because

00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.159
that's why they need the kick proof tv

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:19.919
so uh what are we looking at here we've got some chinese dramas

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:20.720
we've got some super slow response on

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.600
this thing this is like super crazy

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

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:35.040
on their mobile devices over the last 10 years is reducing the air gap between

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.360
the front glass and the actual panel because that air gap is where you get a

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

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:45.840
i gotta pay for that you have to pay for that can i play a preview

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.320
maybe the black levels on this are terrible

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.680
and you said this was a va panel right it's samsung

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:57.919
samsung panel apparently i guess a big part of the problem though is just that

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.040
we have ambient light and we've got this horrible reflection

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.520
look at this i got english subtitles and everything other than the reflection

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:10.800
issues i would say the viewing angles meet expectations you're losing a lot of

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:15.759
color saturation but i think that is to do with the reflectiveness

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:20.400
so what i'm looking for is if we minimize the reflections does the color

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.560
quality change oh it does yeah because what you'll notice is that you actually

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:30.160
get a ghost of the image that is refracting off the

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

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

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

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

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.800
we were being a little facetious before we can imagine some scenarios where

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:54.720
having a more robust tv might be important test number one

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

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:02.160
vr experience can you put my hood over my eyes please ah

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:05.919
ltdstore.com yeah thanks for that i'm playing my beat saver

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.319
i'm slicing on dyson he's slashing he's whacking

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:13.759
is it broken did it break why are you guys making

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

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:24.240
big sideways slash it break no

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.240
like the whole tv was like where'd i hit it

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:32.560
this part not even a scratch nothing scenario number two something a

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:38.400
little more intentional close your eyes and imagine this you're on blood gulch

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:42.240
capture the flag you got one more cap and this 10 year old shrieking into the

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.880
microphone no scopes you from across the freaking map

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:54.080
there's plastic residue from the controller that i'm wiping off the tv do

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:57.600
you see that the residue so that's not part of the tv i go like

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.160
that it's gone of course you didn't pay good

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

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

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:14.960
which honestly speaking was pretty weak sauce i'm gonna take my shoe

00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:18.720
off but they basically went like this

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.960
okay meets expectations

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.919
i mean i'm hitting it reasonably hard

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:38.720
i think we've got the same tv now let's kick it up a notch

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:45.280
i get it no doesn't need to be cool yeah

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:49.759
okay i'm dennis dennis blackmail taekwondo

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:56.960
this time you've got some friends over they're playing charades and they've had

00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:03.180
a little bit too much to the clue is

00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:13.560
power rangers jackie chan uh gymnastics

00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:13.560
taekwondo black belt oh glasses nerds

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.759
oh my god oh look at it did he break it

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:27.840
i see a mark where oh my god

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.240
can you see it brandon yep nothing

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:38.320
what no way david

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.740
taekwondo black belt 12 years of soccer single

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:44.320
one year ballet

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:50.640
new scenario you invite over a friend to check out this sweet new taivo you know

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:55.480
video that you've been following along to and your friend's a little

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.480
enthusiastic

00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:00.080
oh my god

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.080
you put a hole in the wall but wait wait

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:16.959
james a little bit of jiu jitsu a little bit of kickboxing mostly just happened

00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:20.240
to be on set new scenario you got someone over and you decide to just kind

00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:24.000
of roughhouse and wrestle in the living room so this this one's really fun you

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.160
just put your feet together like this and the idea is that the right foot must

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:34.040
stay planted you can only make contact with just your right hand so it's like

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.040
uh kind of yeah

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.519
is that cheating okay i didn't know you were gonna go

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.640
right then but it's good

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

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:58.959
but that was my full body weight

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.959
huh i'm nick big sports fan come on

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

00:10:14.959 --> 00:10:20.240
it let's see does it wipe off

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:25.040
and it's gone so the image quality ain't

00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:27.360
great the viewing angles kind of suck

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:30.720
but is it as advertised

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:39.360
yeah for better for worse whatever your reason for needing a kick proof tv is

00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:41.040
this thing is kick proof

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:46.800
af unreal i cannot believe

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:52.279
that this thing actually held up that was with shoes i mean okay sounds but

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:55.920
