00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759
huge shout out to AMD for sponsoring this video from CES 2017 learn more

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:12.960
about their ryzen processors at the link in the video description so here in the

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:19.519
Sony Booth they've got actually a whack ton of cool display Tech behind me is

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:21.760
Cletus which stands for Crystal LED

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:26.039
integrated structure and the main difference between this and the like

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:30.759
huge display wall or tunnel that every other TV guy does every year is that you

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:36.000
can buy one of these today so a Cletus display is made up of a

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:42.280
whole bunch this one's somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 a whole bunch of

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.120
modular 16in X 18in panels that can be

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:50.000
seamlessly assembled and then be driven by what they call a Cletus brain which I

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:55.079
think costs like $20,000 or something like that anyway the one behind me is

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:58.120
driven by two Cletus brains this display

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:01.199
technology is utterly unique in that it

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:03.960
achieves its fantastic black levels in

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:11.080
part by having almost 98% of the entire display area be black

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

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:21.600
realize that every pixel is made up of a

00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:23.280
tiny red green and blue LED and the

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

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.680
and managed to get within about 6 to 8 in of it and the image completely

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:36.320
disappears you move back and it appears it's actually quite disorienting though

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:40.399
I don't consider it a knock against the technology because you would obviously

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

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.439
HZ refresh rates and it looks absolutely

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:53.320
incredible it is nearly impossible to see the seams with many types of content

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:58.680
now let's talk things you'd be more likely to actually put in your living

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.399
room this is the A1 series Bravia TV and

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:06.680
it is Absolut mindboggling for a number of reasons so

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.679
this is Sony's second OLED TV the first

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

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

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:23.280
going for no compromises on the viewing experience so it uses an OLED panel it

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:29.200
uses their X1 extreme processor which by the way is completely separate from the

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:30.360
processor that runs Android so it's

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.680
exclusive for processing the image and analyzing

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.040
the individual panel remember there are manufacturing variances in real time to

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:47.360
get the best possible image number two is they've gone bezeless all the way

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:50.280
around even the Sony logo is Tiny how

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:55.239
many Brands like this have the stones to pretty much take the logo off their

00:02:52.599 --> 00:03:01.480
product and let it speak for themselves almost none of them one there one

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:06.319
additionally they have instead of chasing thinness distance from the wall

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

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

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.720
Off the Wall which I personally really don't mind except that hold on a second

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:22.640
how can you call it no compromises if there isn't even an integrated speaker I

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:28.200
have to go buy speakers no this is where stuff gets like crazy bananas they have

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:34.760
turned the entire glass surface of the TV into a speaker not just one speaker

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:39.439
there's two vibrating actuators on each side of the TV so the entire pain of

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:45.360
glass and there's a subwoofer in the base too but the entire pan of glass

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:48.040
actually vibrates vibrating actuators it actually vibrates and you might be

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

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.120
talking about Mono sound absolutely not so they have this demo where a bird goes

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

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:08.480
like God like holy crap it actually sounds like it's coming from exactly

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:09.680
where the image is no like algorithmic

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

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

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.600
by-side demo in the secret black room

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.000
that apparently very few people have been going into with a well-respected

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

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:35.639
say it's an integr ated Soundbar TV with which I am intimately familiar and the

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.639
difference was astonishing and again I'm intimately familiar with the TV I asked

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:43.199
for the remote I was like bling around with it making sure there was no funny

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:49.360
business going on image quality sound quality this thing is the cats pajamas

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:54.840
so a huge shout out again to AMD for sponsoring our coverage of CES

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.280
2017 check out the new Vega GPU

00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:59.360
architecture which supports A high bandwidth cache at the link in the video

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

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:13.919
sure to check out after the uprising on YouTube which we're going to have linked

00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:13.919
in the top right corner right there
