1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,240
so lg would love for everyone and their

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,480
dog to run out and buy an OLED tv because they look awesome

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:15,519
oh and also high-end products usually have the best profit margins but let's

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,400
face it hardly anyone can justify dumping 3

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:21,680
4 or even up to 17

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:29,279
000 into a new tv then there's the budget category i mean

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,640
we're talking like 400 4k tvs like this

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:34,880
one well it's no accident that lg has

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,840
nothing to compete at this price stores like amazon sell a lot of these

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,079
kinds of products but this segment often gets ignored by the premium brands

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,840
because the margins on them are so thin that it's just not even worth the effort

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:54,480
for them which puts the sweet spot where it so often is in the middle with lcd

13
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:55,920
tvs like a samsung q-led for a little

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:02,719
over two thousand dollars you see what they did there it even looks like OLED

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,760
on the box or this one the lg 65 sk95

16
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:07,439
super uhd which you can actually get for

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,799
around the same price but just what is super about it and can

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,600
it take a chunk out of samsung's dominant tv market share

19
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,080
we'll find out after this message from glasswire glasswire is a firewall that

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,280
displays your pc's incoming and outgoing network connections in real time use

21
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:36,189
offer code Linus and get 25 off glasswire 2.0 at the link below

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:48,159
the 65 sk95 is lg's highest end

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,240
non-OLED tv at 2400 so no they're not

24
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:56,640
ditching OLED yet but they're acutely aware that until

25
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:58,719
OLED makes up a lot more than the 15

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,520
percent of their overall tv sales that they are currently they are going to

27
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:09,759
need other offerings as we mentioned before samsung's q-led

28
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,560
tvs really have nothing to do with OLED

29
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,560
but they're really impressive for lcds thanks to quantum dot technology which

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,560
allows them to get brighter more saturated colors across a wider gamut by

31
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:27,680
transmitting only pure red pure green and pure blue your typical lcd will emit

32
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,879
a wider spectrum of light that includes in between colors like orange and lime

33
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,680
leading to color desaturation and inefficiency so that is where lg's super

34
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:43,120
uhd comes in super uhd not to be confused with

35
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,440
samsung's suhd is an attempt to get

36
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,080
similar performance to quantum dot but with a different approach and that's

37
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,400
what this nano cell marketing that you see on the box is getting at now

38
00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:00,160
no one actually knows quite for sure but this technology appears to add a layer

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,159
of uniformly sized particles each about one nanometer in diameter that's about a

40
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,840
hundred thousand times thinner than a sheet of paper to filter out the

41
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,519
unwanted color wavelengths and leave just r g and b thereby preventing color

42
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,519
bleeding fading and other effects that reduce the vibrancy of the picture and

43
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,239
it seems to be working the picture looks really good fiddling with the settings

44
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,560
we were able to get about 89 coverage of the dci p3 color space and color

45
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,200
accuracy that's good enough to edit photos using the technicolor expert

46
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,400
bright mode i mean i mean if your desk had enough room to use this thing as a

47
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,640
monitor and while they can't compete with OLED

48
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,799
nothing can the black levels are really nice with

49
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:50,400
smooth gradients thanks to the full array local dimming which is quickly

50
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,879
going from a pricey exotic feature to a

51
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,360
must-have i mean it makes enough of a difference that even though this tv is

52
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:02,000
actually quite a bit thicker than last year's model

53
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:04,319
i'm not even mad at all like finally

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,640
somebody has woken up as a consumer i've been asking for this

55
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:12,720
give me more performance instead of one

56
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,519
more millimeter thinner i mean this is thin enough anyway and

57
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,919
the finish on the back and the sides is nothing short of premium i'd be happy to

58
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:27,040
see this thing in my living room and i'm really glad to see that we are finally

59
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:31,759
coming to the end of thinner just for the sake of thinner in the mainstream

60
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,560
product line at least because i'm also acutely aware that lg literally has a

61
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,160
product called the wallpaper tv on the subject of more performance the full

62
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:46,320
array local dimming is here for a good reason to support HDR this puppy has

63
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,600
actual 10-bit color no frc malarkey and

64
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,919
700 nit peak with 400 nits sustained

65
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,960
brightness so that is a bit under the 1000 nit threshold that i would consider

66
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,280
like true modern HDR but they did pull off dolby vision

67
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:06,160
certification whose main advantage over HDR 10 is that it comes with scene by

68
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:10,639
scene metadata for a higher degree of backlight control and speaking of dolby

69
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,520
it also has a built-in dolby atmos decoder so if you're thinking of getting

70
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,000
speakers on or aimed at your ceiling you

71
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:24,160
don't need an extra atmos compatible receiver as long as the HDMI signal goes

72
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,960
through the tv finally the 65 sk95

73
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,600
has a refresh rate of 120 hertz or 240 if you're tasteless and

74
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,280
you turn on true motion but don't get too excited about it quite yet

75
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:43,120
even though i'm sure that lg has seen the video that we made outlining how our

76
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,919
ideal tv would have DisplayPort so it

77
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:51,039
could you could game on it high refresh rates

78
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:54,400
this one lacks either a dp 1.4 or an

79
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,919
HDMI 2.1 port so it won't be able to

80
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,759
receive high frame rate 4k content from

81
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:04,400
external sources so you would have to stream your hfr

82
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,560
content not that there's a lot of that out there

83
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,319
but and this is something i'm glad to see because we've been complaining about the

84
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:16,080
gaming experience on lg tvs for quite some time at least they do allow you to

85
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,199
run at 120 hertz if you connect to the tv with your pc if

86
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,240
you turn the resolution down to 1080p the input leg isn't too shabby at around

87
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,800
33 milliseconds so not as fast as a high-end gaming monitor

88
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,199
but a significant improvement over last year and because it's not OLED you've

89
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,880
got the additional benefit of not having to worry about your hud burning in and

90
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,039
showing up while you're watching your favorite movies

91
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:47,759
also new this year is voice assistant integration coming from both the google

92
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,160
assistant and lg's own thin queue software you know what no i'm calling it

93
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:57,280
think finquew is obviously not what the marketing team intended and if it is

94
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,520
then shame on them anyway the tv is not

95
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,000
microphone equipped so it's not always listening like a google home instead you

96
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,560
actually issue commands by holding down the microphone button on the included

97
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,080
remote the google assistant will handle queries like

98
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,120
turn on the living room lights what's on my calendar or

99
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,240
show everyone boring pictures from my last vacation while think will handle tv specific

100
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,240
operations like changing the picture mode adjusting the volume or even

101
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:28,560
turning off at the end of this program

102
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,599
now of course we can't show any of that functionality because it doesn't work in

103
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,000
canada just yet something about the 49th parallel just

104
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,800
makes manufacturers not care about the people north of it

105
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:45,520
but that's a whole separate conversation so then should you buy this tv

106
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:48,639
definitely maybe it's a beautiful set that goes toe to

107
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:51,599
toe with quantum dot both in terms of quality and price

108
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:58,720
but then again lg has finally announced that their

109
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,680
cheapest OLED for 2018 the b8 which has

110
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,520
the same features and processor but of course

111
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:11,039
that gorgeous deep black OLED picture quality

112
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:13,440
will be just 2100 making it 300 cheaper

113
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:19,199
than this super uhd that is if you're willing to settle for 55 instead of 65

114
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,680
inches the 65-inch version is 3 grand so that's an extra 600

115
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:29,759
my advice if you're a movie watcher and you're already spending this much OLED

116
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,919
is worth the upgrade but if you're a

117
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,039
gamer or someone who just watches the news all day

118
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:41,479
then i would probably save your money and go super led

119
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:41,479
super led super uhd

120
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:47,760
speaking of super squarespace is super their award-winning templates make

121
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:52,320

is but if it was awesome hit the like button get subscribed maybe consider

134
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,720
checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description also linked down there's our merch george has cool shirts like this
