00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,759
huge shout out to AMD for sponsoring this video from CES 2017 learn more

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:12,960
about their ryzen processors at the link in the video description so here in the

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:19,519
Sony Booth they've got actually a whack ton of cool display Tech behind me is

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,760
Cletus which stands for Crystal LED

5
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:26,039
integrated structure and the main difference between this and the like

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,759
huge display wall or tunnel that every other TV guy does every year is that you

7
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:36,000
can buy one of these today so a Cletus display is made up of a

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:42,280
whole bunch this one's somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 a whole bunch of

9
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,120
modular 16in X 18in panels that can be

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:50,000
seamlessly assembled and then be driven by what they call a Cletus brain which I

11
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:55,079
think costs like $20,000 or something like that anyway the one behind me is

12
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:58,120
driven by two Cletus brains this display

13
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:01,199
technology is utterly unique in that it

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,960
achieves its fantastic black levels in

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:11,080
part by having almost 98% of the entire display area be black

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:17,320
but looking at it from here it doesn't make any sense when you get in close you

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:21,600
realize that every pixel is made up of a

18
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:23,280
tiny red green and blue LED and the

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,000
entire rest of the space is black it's trippy as hell I jumped up on the stage

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,680
and managed to get within about 6 to 8 in of it and the image completely

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,320
disappears you move back and it appears it's actually quite disorienting though

22
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:40,399
I don't consider it a knock against the technology because you would obviously

23
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:46,200
never watch it from that range on Sony's blog they said it's capable of up to 120

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,439
HZ refresh rates and it looks absolutely

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,320
incredible it is nearly impossible to see the seams with many types of content

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:58,680
now let's talk things you'd be more likely to actually put in your living

27
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:00,399
room this is the A1 series Bravia TV and

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:06,680
it is Absolut mindboggling for a number of reasons so

29
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,679
this is Sony's second OLED TV the first

30
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,480
one to actually make any sense it's available in 65 and 77 in and they've

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,040
done a lot of stuff in here that makes a ton of sense so the first is they're

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:23,280
going for no compromises on the viewing experience so it uses an OLED panel it

33
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:29,200
uses their X1 extreme processor which by the way is completely separate from the

34
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,360
processor that runs Android so it's

35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,680
exclusive for processing the image and analyzing

36
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,040
the individual panel remember there are manufacturing variances in real time to

37
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:47,360
get the best possible image number two is they've gone bezeless all the way

38
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:50,280
around even the Sony logo is Tiny how

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:55,239
many Brands like this have the stones to pretty much take the logo off their

40
00:02:52,599 --> 00:03:01,480
product and let it speak for themselves almost none of them one there one

41
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:06,319
additionally they have instead of chasing thinness distance from the wall

42
00:03:03,959 --> 00:03:10,040
at all cost gone you know what we're going to have all the inputs and outputs

43
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,599
and the vase amount and everything still attached to the TV it's okay to be 4 in

44
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,720
Off the Wall which I personally really don't mind except that hold on a second

45
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,640
how can you call it no compromises if there isn't even an integrated speaker I

46
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:28,200
have to go buy speakers no this is where stuff gets like crazy bananas they have

47
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:34,760
turned the entire glass surface of the TV into a speaker not just one speaker

48
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:39,439
there's two vibrating actuators on each side of the TV so the entire pain of

49
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:45,360
glass and there's a subwoofer in the base too but the entire pan of glass

50
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:48,040
actually vibrates vibrating actuators it actually vibrates and you might be

51
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,760
thinking well hold on a second line if you vibrate a piece of glass sure that'll create a sound wave but are we

52
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,120
talking about Mono sound absolutely not so they have this demo where a bird goes

53
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:02,480
across ch ch ch ch chep back and forth you kind of go oh yeah that's working pretty well and then this Crow comes in

54
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:08,480
like God like holy crap it actually sounds like it's coming from exactly

55
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:09,680
where the image is no like algorithmic

56
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,879
we got the speakers over here but it sounds like it's coming from over there it's really freaking cool and in terms

57
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:21,160
of the sound quality I mean that's a big question mark right so we did a side

58
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,600
by-side demo in the secret black room

59
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:27,000
that apparently very few people have been going into with a well-respected

60
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:30,880
very high-end TV they wouldn't let me name who it is out of respect but let's

61
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,639
say it's an integr ated Soundbar TV with which I am intimately familiar and the

62
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,639
difference was astonishing and again I'm intimately familiar with the TV I asked

63
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,199
for the remote I was like bling around with it making sure there was no funny

64
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:49,360
business going on image quality sound quality this thing is the cats pajamas

65
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,840
so a huge shout out again to AMD for sponsoring our coverage of CES

66
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,280
2017 check out the new Vega GPU

67
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:59,360
architecture which supports A high bandwidth cache at the link in the video

68
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:06,880
description but we're going to make that easy for you it's v.g ve. GA and also be

69
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:13,919
sure to check out after the uprising on YouTube which we're going to have linked

70
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,919
in the top right corner right there
