WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.840
i could not be more excited to experience alongside you guys today

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.519
the first 8k consumer television the q

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.559
900r series from samsung it has a

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:22.320
whopping 33 million pixels now to be clear we've

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:27.439
seen 8k displays before but only on the desktop at sizes that are so small that

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.760
you couldn't possibly hope to get any benefit from it this

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:36.960
this promises to be different so in today's video sponsored by samsung we're

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.800
going to be going through the experience of 8k

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:44.800
on a 65-inch tv and also

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:51.239
experiencing some of the pitfalls of being such an early adopter of such

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.239
bleeding-edge technology

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:03.280
wow it's thick it's a thick boy

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.240
look at that i don't think i've seen a tv this thick

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

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:14.720
the oh flush mound like cool yeah they've got the legs just

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

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

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.119
need to generate what is it like three thousand three focus on this thing so

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.600
something a lot of people don't know is that the tighter you make the matrix

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.320
of your lcd the harder it is to beam light through

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.840
it because the more of the actual screen area is covered by you know opaque

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

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.240
that kind of brightness uh okay now what

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

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:02.079
it's too late for that now the ship has sailed you put your

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.399
left tv in you put your left tv out you

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.160
put your left tv in so wait do you have multiple spots that

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

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

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.520
do you ever just think that you probably should have read the instructions do you

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.760
ever think that you as the writer for this video probably should have read the

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.160
instructions did it

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

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.720
um so where are those screws

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:47.180
ah well there we go there's your problem oh

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:49.200
that's a heavy one connect

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.840
and the box hey

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.400
now we've got it wow you can really tell

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:03.040
this thing needs cooling though and if the number of heat pipes that i can see

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:08.640
through the back of this grill at the rear of the tv is anything to go

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.480
by it takes some serious power i wonder

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:14.239
how close they were to just like strapping a fan on the back

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:20.959
you know i gotta say as someone who cares more about performance and features then

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.760
like then thinness i'm actually

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.319
pleased as punch that we're getting a tv that's like you

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.760
know what all the brightness all the resolution

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.239
yeah i'm pretty excited to see the 3000 mix that'll be the brightest

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.040
display i've ever seen for sure unless you count like those displays at like

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.959
vegas well yeah okay

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:46.480
so our power for the whole beast comes in here

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:51.519
and then all your inputs including networking audio uh right usb all this

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:56.640
stuff over here is all routed through this single cable

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

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.840
lot of times and i don't love it any less today than i did before

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

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:15.680
relatively matte oh yeah like it's not that glossy apparently samsung has like

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.680
the best anti-reflective filters in the business yeah because we have like

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:24.000
filming lights behind the tv and it's actually shocking how little of it gets

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:28.720
reflected through like especially the uh like there's an led array light

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

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:39.199
and then like look at how bright it is directly like that is a shockingly

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.040
small amount of light reflected back at us part of what samsung's done that's

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.520
special on this tv is they're using a va panel but one with a different

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

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

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.680
contrast and then of course the the matte screen that

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.280
it's really good so i've actually watched this clip

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.360
quite a few times as a um

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:14.639
like a demo clip and it actually looks even really good

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.440
bearing in mind of course that this is just

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.759
4k and just like the lines and even like

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.560
the hairs and stuff are really good out into a world that wasn't ready

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

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:36.960
the nvidia control panel and see what happens because remember this is an hdmi

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:42.080
2.0 connection so it's not even showing up in the drop

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.320
down here we're gonna have to create ourselves a custom res here

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:51.039
oh oh it just worked it just worked well that

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:55.440
was easy okay so let's have a look at this puppy

00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:01.759
so this is a three hour 50 second clip that's three minutes and 50 seconds

00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:01.759
and it's nine gigs yeah

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:11.600
the actual one's like 105 gigs so theoretically

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:12.960
this is basically as high definition

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.720
as it gets because this is shot on one of our red

00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:21.360
8k cameras and it's output

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.039
at 8k resolution now i will say the bit

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.919
rate could be higher because you can also see some like pretty brutal

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:33.680
artifacting in spots brutal compression we can try like a red file if you want

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:37.120
to but hey that sounds pretty good

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:39.680
oh our poor computer that's right

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:44.319
i forgot about that yeah we don't have 10 gig on this

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:46.880
i mean even ignoring that our poor cpu is at 100

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:52.800
wow hey uh sure i get

00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:58.960
wow look at this it looks like it's my desktop background poor windows just has

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:04.560
no idea what to do with this resolution 500 scaling

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.160
here's our start menu

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.080
i wonder if the tv is scaling it or something though

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:19.080
yeah oh

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:19.080
interesting

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:28.880
we are now on the latest driver so we're gonna bump it to 4k

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:29.840
yeah that's looking pretty 4k we're

00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:35.919
gonna color oh are there actual options now there

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:40.630
are yeah okay so maybe this will help uh so hold on 7680 by 4320

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:43.599
yeah test it

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:49.520
okay does that look native nope okay but that's fine because we're

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.720
not in the fourth input so go ahead and chuck

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

00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:03.520
okay all right netflix it is

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:07.759
a shot like this with the penguins you can really appreciate the finer detail

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:12.479
and i will say compared to the early days of 4k up

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:15.919
sampling even with the birds flying in different directions here actually one

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.599
of the shots of the birds from the original planet earth was like

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:26.319
my classic yeah why upscaling shouldn't be a thing

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.319
examples while they're flapping you can

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:32.399
see they're handling it just way better it's almost like tvs have undergone you

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.320
know 10 generations of processing upgrades since then

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

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:46.800
sampled experience but we weren't able to get true 8k working however yeah we

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

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:55.200
blown these ak on the go and 4k 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

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

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

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.519
correct yeah otherwise for whatever reason on input four it just doesn't

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:20.240
work so then you need to do signal plus enable that cool

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.560
uh that this that just did something uh

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:27.600
we're just not gonna worry about that yeah let's just proceed then yep okay

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:32.959
so then you need to do the custom resolution utility and hit reset all

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

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

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.600
display settings advanced display settings display adapter properties list

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:50.560
all modes oh now we have all of these guys here a

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:53.440
big old list in there now it seems to work best if you do

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.560
8k 29 hertz first yeah

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:03.440
and hit apply that looks pretty sharp yeah so that's real ak real ak well

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:06.480
brandon brandon come look come look it's pretty funky

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

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:16.000
whatever reason if you go to that first sometimes the system just stops working

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

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.120
ak-3420

00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:27.279
so you're not getting the full color

00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:32.399
everything you're not getting the full color depth you're not getting hdr but

00:10:30.079 --> 00:10:36.720
for better or for worse you are driving 33 million pixels 30 times a second

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

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:48.399
good it looks really sharp like that text is just like it's something else

00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:53.760
for a display of this size 4k is effective to about 3.8 feet so

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

00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:02.480
like here all right so this is it this

00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:04.160
is our first 8k playback experience on

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:07.440
our 8k tv with 8k footage

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:11.040
it's sharp beautiful shot brandon by the way

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

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:24.000
that's pretty comical this is so ridiculous i look how much i have to

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:25.440
move my mouse just to get it across the

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.640
screen one

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:32.800
two but it should still be sharp damn and it

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:36.800
is the system works okay so why don't we do something

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.959
different this time we'll fire up city skylines yeah

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

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:51.440
walking around on the street even oh yeah from this vantage point

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.800
like in that park right there so next up

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.839
is forza so dynamic render quality ultra

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:59.440
7680 by 4320 that's a crazy number to

00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:04.320
look at 30fps all right let's see this let's go to benchmark

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.839
like there's rain like it looks like water droplets

00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:12.880
yeah like it's pretty easily like the best graphics i think i've ever seen

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.480
the sharpness is crazy like even without anti-aliasing enabled you can see this

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.320
license plate is a perfect example normally of the staircase effect as it

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:25.639
tilts back and forth but it's just crystal clear and we actually managed 30

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.639
fps

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:31.760
now the actual frame times uh there was definitely some stutter in

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:38.720
there so my friends are you going to be gaming in triple a

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:41.760
titles with a smooth 60fps experience at 8k anytime soon

00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:47.600
uh probably not but

00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:50.160
is 8k at a tv size an absolutely eyeball

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:54.800
popping experience the answer is definitely yes and

00:12:52.959 --> 00:12:59.279
sometime in the next year or two you may even get a chance to

00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:04.639
experience it once samsung sends out the upgraded boxes with hdmi 2.1 and

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:09.360
japan broadcast the 2020 olympics in ak so

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:13.440
there you go that's the way forward

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:17.040
for 8k so thanks for watching guys thanks to samsung for sponsoring this

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:21.839
video and letting us have this very early look at the 8k experience if
