1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,840
i could not be more excited to experience alongside you guys today

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,519
the first 8k consumer television the q

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,559
900r series from samsung it has a

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:22,320
whopping 33 million pixels now to be clear we've

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:27,439
seen 8k displays before but only on the desktop at sizes that are so small that

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,760
you couldn't possibly hope to get any benefit from it this

7
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:36,960
this promises to be different so in today's video sponsored by samsung we're

8
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,800
going to be going through the experience of 8k

9
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,800
on a 65-inch tv and also

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:51,239
experiencing some of the pitfalls of being such an early adopter of such

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,239
bleeding-edge technology

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,280
wow it's thick it's a thick boy

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,240
look at that i don't think i've seen a tv this thick

14
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,119
in quite some time i wonder if that has something to do with they can do like

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,720
the oh flush mound like cool yeah they've got the legs just

16
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:20,560
right in here so if you like mount it you don't have to worry about losing them interesting

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,479
you know what i wonder is if it has to do with the powerful backlight that you

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,119
need to generate what is it like three thousand three focus on this thing so

19
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,600
something a lot of people don't know is that the tighter you make the matrix

20
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,320
of your lcd the harder it is to beam light through

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,840
it because the more of the actual screen area is covered by you know opaque

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,159
things like wires so i would guess they need one heck of a back light to get

23
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,240
that kind of brightness uh okay now what

24
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,479
i guess just lift it up yeah we probably should read how to do it but uh well

25
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:02,079
it's too late for that now the ship has sailed you put your

26
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,399
left tv in you put your left tv out you

27
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,160
put your left tv in so wait do you have multiple spots that

28
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,840
you can put it just like here or oh yeah how about that all right where do you

29
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,239
want to go let's go with the wide stance that's what i was going oh jeez

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,520
do you ever just think that you probably should have read the instructions do you

31
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,760
ever think that you as the writer for this video probably should have read the

32
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,160
instructions did it

33
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:37,720
it needs a screw doesn't it it definitely needs a screw but it also probably should just like go in uh-huh

34
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,720
um so where are those screws

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:47,180
ah well there we go there's your problem oh

36
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,200
that's a heavy one connect

37
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,840
and the box hey

38
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,400
now we've got it wow you can really tell

39
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:03,040
this thing needs cooling though and if the number of heat pipes that i can see

40
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,640
through the back of this grill at the rear of the tv is anything to go

41
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,480
by it takes some serious power i wonder

42
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,239
how close they were to just like strapping a fan on the back

43
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:20,959
you know i gotta say as someone who cares more about performance and features then

44
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,760
like then thinness i'm actually

45
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,319
pleased as punch that we're getting a tv that's like you

46
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,760
know what all the brightness all the resolution

47
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,239
yeah i'm pretty excited to see the 3000 mix that'll be the brightest

48
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,040
display i've ever seen for sure unless you count like those displays at like

49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,959
vegas well yeah okay

50
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,480
so our power for the whole beast comes in here

51
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:51,519
and then all your inputs including networking audio uh right usb all this

52
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:56,640
stuff over here is all routed through this single cable

53
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:00,959
along with power up to the tv it's no secret that i love it i've said that a

54
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,840
lot of times and i don't love it any less today than i did before

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,720
well i don't know let's just turn it on did you notice that the screen is

56
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,680
relatively matte oh yeah like it's not that glossy apparently samsung has like

57
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,680
the best anti-reflective filters in the business yeah because we have like

58
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:24,000
filming lights behind the tv and it's actually shocking how little of it gets

59
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,720
reflected through like especially the uh like there's an led array light

60
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:34,000
that's through that window if you sit where i am you see it oh wow yeah

61
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:39,199
and then like look at how bright it is directly like that is a shockingly

62
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,040
small amount of light reflected back at us part of what samsung's done that's

63
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,520
special on this tv is they're using a va panel but one with a different

64
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:52,880
configuration so you don't get that same color shift at an extreme angle so it's

65
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:58,320
kind of ips like in that respect but it also just has this really sharp va like

66
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,680
contrast and then of course the the matte screen that

67
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,280
it's really good so i've actually watched this clip

68
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,360
quite a few times as a um

69
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:14,639
like a demo clip and it actually looks even really good

70
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,440
bearing in mind of course that this is just

71
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,759
4k and just like the lines and even like

72
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,560
the hairs and stuff are really good out into a world that wasn't ready

73
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,360
of course what we really want to do is jump to 8k resolution so let's fire up

74
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:36,960
the nvidia control panel and see what happens because remember this is an hdmi

75
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:42,080
2.0 connection so it's not even showing up in the drop

76
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,320
down here we're gonna have to create ourselves a custom res here

77
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,039
oh oh it just worked it just worked well that

78
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:55,440
was easy okay so let's have a look at this puppy

79
00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:01,759
so this is a three hour 50 second clip that's three minutes and 50 seconds

80
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:01,759
and it's nine gigs yeah

81
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:11,600
the actual one's like 105 gigs so theoretically

82
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,960
this is basically as high definition

83
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,720
as it gets because this is shot on one of our red

84
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:21,360
8k cameras and it's output

85
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,039
at 8k resolution now i will say the bit

86
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,919
rate could be higher because you can also see some like pretty brutal

87
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:33,680
artifacting in spots brutal compression we can try like a red file if you want

88
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,120
to but hey that sounds pretty good

89
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,680
oh our poor computer that's right

90
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,319
i forgot about that yeah we don't have 10 gig on this

91
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,880
i mean even ignoring that our poor cpu is at 100

92
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:52,800
wow hey uh sure i get

93
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,960
wow look at this it looks like it's my desktop background poor windows just has

94
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:04,560
no idea what to do with this resolution 500 scaling

95
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,160
here's our start menu

96
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,080
i wonder if the tv is scaling it or something though

97
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:19,080
yeah oh

98
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,080
interesting

99
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,880
we are now on the latest driver so we're gonna bump it to 4k

100
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,840
yeah that's looking pretty 4k we're

101
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,919
gonna color oh are there actual options now there

102
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,630
are yeah okay so maybe this will help uh so hold on 7680 by 4320

103
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,599
yeah test it

104
00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:49,520
okay does that look native nope okay but that's fine because we're

105
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:52,720
not in the fourth input so go ahead and chuck

106
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,560
it on the fourth input and let's see if it works this time no signal damn it

107
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:03,520
okay all right netflix it is

108
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:07,759
a shot like this with the penguins you can really appreciate the finer detail

109
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:12,479
and i will say compared to the early days of 4k up

110
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,919
sampling even with the birds flying in different directions here actually one

111
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,599
of the shots of the birds from the original planet earth was like

112
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:26,319
my classic yeah why upscaling shouldn't be a thing

113
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,319
examples while they're flapping you can

114
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:32,399
see they're handling it just way better it's almost like tvs have undergone you

115
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:36,320
know 10 generations of processing upgrades since then

116
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:41,519
okay so where we left off yesterday we were having a pretty decent 4k to 8k up

117
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:46,800
sampled experience but we weren't able to get true 8k working however yeah we

118
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:53,120
were talking to the guys at our tings and we should be able to get real full

119
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,200
blown these ak on the go and 4k 120.

120
00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:00,399
really yeah massive shout out to those guys um however apparently there's a bit of a

121
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:04,720
process why don't you uh walk us through this so the first thing we have to do is

122
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,279
when we plug in a device we have to go through the setup wizard no skipping it

123
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,519
correct yeah otherwise for whatever reason on input four it just doesn't

124
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:20,240
work so then you need to do signal plus enable that cool

125
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,560
uh that this that just did something uh

126
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,600
we're just not gonna worry about that yeah let's just proceed then yep okay

127
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:32,959
so then you need to do the custom resolution utility and hit reset all

128
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:36,800
right but don't actually use the custom resolution utility don't try to do it in

129
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:41,839
the nvidia driver it's a bad time just this reset all feature and then we go to

130
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,600
display settings advanced display settings display adapter properties list

131
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,560
all modes oh now we have all of these guys here a

132
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,440
big old list in there now it seems to work best if you do

133
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,560
8k 29 hertz first yeah

134
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,440
and hit apply that looks pretty sharp yeah so that's real ak real ak well

135
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:06,480
brandon brandon come look come look it's pretty funky

136
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:11,360
so then you want to just go list all modes again and go to 8k 30. okay

137
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,000
whatever reason if you go to that first sometimes the system just stops working

138
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:22,120
i don't know why but it's a thing and there we go we have full blownsies

139
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120
ak-3420

140
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,279
so you're not getting the full color

141
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,399
everything you're not getting the full color depth you're not getting hdr but

142
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:36,720
for better or for worse you are driving 33 million pixels 30 times a second

143
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,880
through your display if you're into that sort of thing and i have to say it looks pretty damn

144
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:48,399
good it looks really sharp like that text is just like it's something else

145
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:53,760
for a display of this size 4k is effective to about 3.8 feet so

146
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:58,560
that's about right here so 8k you can do 2 feet before you see pixels so that's

147
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:02,480
like here all right so this is it this

148
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:04,160
is our first 8k playback experience on

149
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,440
our 8k tv with 8k footage

150
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,040
it's sharp beautiful shot brandon by the way

151
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,839
okay so just for fun before we play games can i do what i had wanted to do before and set it to 100

152
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:24,000
that's pretty comical this is so ridiculous i look how much i have to

153
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:25,440
move my mouse just to get it across the

154
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,640
screen one

155
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,800
two but it should still be sharp damn and it

156
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:36,800
is the system works okay so why don't we do something

157
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:40,959
different this time we'll fire up city skylines yeah

158
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,519
this is like such a great example it's like you can really make out the people

159
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:51,440
walking around on the street even oh yeah from this vantage point

160
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:54,800
like in that park right there so next up

161
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:57,839
is forza so dynamic render quality ultra

162
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,440
7680 by 4320 that's a crazy number to

163
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:04,320
look at 30fps all right let's see this let's go to benchmark

164
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,839
like there's rain like it looks like water droplets

165
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:12,880
yeah like it's pretty easily like the best graphics i think i've ever seen

166
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,480
the sharpness is crazy like even without anti-aliasing enabled you can see this

167
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:20,320
license plate is a perfect example normally of the staircase effect as it

168
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:25,639
tilts back and forth but it's just crystal clear and we actually managed 30

169
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:25,639
fps

170
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,760
now the actual frame times uh there was definitely some stutter in

171
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:38,720
there so my friends are you going to be gaming in triple a

172
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,760
titles with a smooth 60fps experience at 8k anytime soon

00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:50,160
is 8k at a tv size an absolutely eyeball

175
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:54,800
popping experience the answer is definitely yes and

176
00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:59,279
sometime in the next year or two you may even get a chance to

177
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:04,639
experience it once samsung sends out the upgraded boxes with hdmi 2.1 and

178
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:09,360

179
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:13,440
