1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,139
when I was a teen anything bigger than 48 inches was considered a giant big

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:13,980
screen TV and they were big this 65-inch

3
00:00:10,139 --> 00:00:17,940
Mitsubishi weighed over 330 pounds but

4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:20,460
these days 55 to 65 inch TVs are quickly

5
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:25,320
becoming mainstream and in many homes anything smaller is probably pulling

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:33,420
guest bedroom Duty and why not these giant screens somehow keep getting

7
00:00:29,099 --> 00:00:35,340
cheaper so today after a two-year Hiatus

8
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:39,540
we're gonna take a look at the forces behind this trend with another

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:46,860
installment of why the advertiser friendly content are you all buying this

10
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:49,579
featuring the best-selling 65-inch TV on

11
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:54,239
amazon.com the TCL 65s425 protect your floors from your

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,539
computer chair with ruggable ruggable rugs are machine washable and they'll

13
00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:03,440
stay in place with their non-slip pads use all for code funlin is 10 to get 10

14
00:00:59,699 --> 00:01:03,440
off at the link below

15
00:01:09,979 --> 00:01:15,420
the reasons that 65-inch TVs like this

16
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:21,360
TCL are getting more and more popular is because one that's what consumers want

17
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:23,340
bigger TVs and two it's becoming more

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,939
and more cost effective to make them this big thanks to improvements in the

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,460
manufacturing process just like in the world of CPU silicon TV

20
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:39,780
manufacturing capabilities are specified by Fab generation with the latest being

21
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,119
generation 10.5 but these Fabs rather

22
00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:47,759
than being defined by how small the transistor gate length is in nanometers

23
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:50,280
like a processor are defined by how big

24
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:55,860
of a piece of glass you can make if you've ever Stood Beside an 86 inch TV

25
00:01:52,619 --> 00:01:58,920
you know how impressive a single piece

26
00:01:55,860 --> 00:02:01,140
of perfect glass that larges but that's

27
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:07,020
only the tip of the iceberg because TV screens aren't actually manufactured as

28
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,640
individuals instead they're cut from an

29
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:14,340
even larger sheet of what is appropriately called mother glass

30
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:16,379
when I graduated high school in 2004 TV

31
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:20,520
Fabs were on gen 7 and could produce sheets of mother glass that were about

32
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:25,860
114 inches diagonally they probably could have made one giant weird shaped

33
00:02:23,459 --> 00:02:31,319
TV out of it but that size was actually chosen because it was optimal for making

34
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,819
up to eight 40 inch panels which were a

35
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,540
lot easier to sell at prices that consumers could afford like this hoodie

36
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:41,760
from lttstore.com today the most common Fab generation is

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Gen 8.5 which being about the size of two pool tables pushed together can be

38
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:50,099
cut into six 55-inch TV panels or into

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,500
three 65-inch panels with some extra

40
00:02:50,099 --> 00:02:58,500
left over to make smaller devices like monitors 632 inchers to be precise but

41
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,060
while 55-inch screens used to be the sweet spot where consumers and

42
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:07,920
Manufacturing cost met today ATV manufacturers are aiming more towards 65

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,840
inch and the mother glass coming out of the New Gen 10.5 facilities which are

44
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:17,760
currently all in China can be cut into eight 65-inch TVs

45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:24,000
wow but why does cutting up a bigger piece

46
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:28,260
of glass make the individual TVs cheaper it's because many of the components of a

47
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:33,840
TV substrate are put together using deposition which happens across the

48
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:36,300
entire mother glass sheet at once so the

49
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,920
length of time to process a sheet is roughly the same regardless of its size

50
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:46,019
meaning that larger sheets are more economical because you can process more

51
00:03:43,739 --> 00:03:50,700
surface area at a time there's already more than a few gen 10.5 Fabs in

52
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:56,519
operation and soon there are going to be dozens meaning that thanks to increased

53
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:58,940
competition TVs like rtcl over here are

54
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:06,060
only going to get cheaper and that is pretty remarkable when you consider that

55
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:09,060
this is a 3840 by 2160 UHD TV with a

56
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:12,120
direct LED VA panel and it already costs

57
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:13,920
under 500 US Dollars it's an especially

58
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,780
good deal for gamers considering it's low input leg we measure just one to

59
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:22,620
three frames in CS go with game mode on and the pixel response time is good

60
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,759
enough that fast-paced games don't get too much blurrier than they have to

61
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:32,400
just don't expect some of the more advanced gamer features like freesync or

62
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,960
a 120 hertz native refresh rate for that stuff you guys should check out our

63
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:38,699
upcoming reviews of LG's 2020 TVs which

64
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,699
are on their way to our lab now so get subscribed for that if you think about

65
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,139
it though that's kind of the story of this thing

66
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:52,500
and the answer to why is everybody buying it it covers the basics and does

67
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,139
it well but without the extra Frills for

68
00:04:52,500 --> 00:05:00,000
example it technically supports HDR in the form of hdr10 but given that it's

69
00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:06,000
got an 8-bit panel and a peak brightness of around 200 nits the color volume and

70
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:10,979
contrast just aren't enough for it to really check my HDR box

71
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:15,540
the VA panel does give it pretty decent contrast in dark environments but when

72
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,979
the sun comes out you're gonna be fighting glare so I wouldn't put one of

73
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,940
these in a bright room also if you haven't guessed by now that relatively

74
00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:27,419
low performance means it has no support for dual division

75
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,220
none of which means that we're not recommending it for the price the i o is

76
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,780
typical even if it's a little underwhelming with a side accessible

77
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:41,940
jackpack containing three HDMI 2.1 ports RJ45 Ethernet a lone USB 2.0 port spitif

78
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:48,000
and just in case you have a really long cable a headphone jack the industrial

79
00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:50,100
design is Spartan with basic bezels a

80
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,840
stamped metal back and simple feet that screw directly to the set and one thing

81
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,960
to note is that those feet are 50 inches apart so you're going to need a pretty

82
00:05:55,979 --> 00:06:01,919
wide table to sit it on unless you decide to wall mount it which might be a

83
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:05,699
pretty good idea there's a 400 by 200 millimeter vase amount on the back and

84
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,360
the TV is relatively light so you should be able to get it up there without too

85
00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:13,380
much trouble in the Box you get an adapter that breaks out the composite

86
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,479
Port into its constituents and a pair of batteries for the Roku remote which

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:23,699
feels a little small like kind of like a kid size remote but I still support this

88
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:28,500
decision TCL has opted to integrate Roku inside their TV for their Smart TV

89
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:33,060
experience that would otherwise cost you about 40 bucks if you bought it on a

90
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:38,639
stick and it's not as slick as LG's web OS as versatile as Android TV or as

91
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:43,500
Snappy as well the same OS running on a TV with a faster processor but it's easy

92
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:47,520
to use and supports most major streaming apps and it's certainly better than if

93
00:06:45,419 --> 00:06:52,020
they had tried to Homebrew something so bottom line there are obviously

94
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:58,160
compromises but I don't want to sound nitpicky either for an entry level set

95
00:06:54,500 --> 00:07:00,960
tcl's s425 lineup which launched in 2018

96
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,520
still packs a lot of value for people on a budget or for people who just aren't

97
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,780
that concerned about having the most mouth-watering picture quality on the

98
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:14,940
Block I'd even go as far as to say that most people I know outside of the

99
00:07:11,819 --> 00:07:15,960
techosphere would never complain about

100
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:22,440
this one except for one thing that I think we can all agree needs Improvement the speakers

101
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,819
the pair of 8 watt down firing drivers are harsh and baseless and speech can

102
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:29,580
actually be kind of hard to make out especially if you're listening to

103
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,660
someone who has an accent that you're not used to so maybe if you do go for

104
00:07:32,099 --> 00:07:37,860
something like this consider an inexpensive sound bar like this one that

105
00:07:35,819 --> 00:07:41,880
