WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.240
so lg would love for everyone and their

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.480
dog to run out and buy an OLED tv because they look awesome

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:15.519
oh and also high-end products usually have the best profit margins but let's

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:20.400
face it hardly anyone can justify dumping 3

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:21.680
4 or even up to 17

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:29.279
000 into a new tv then there's the budget category i mean

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:32.640
we're talking like 400 4k tvs like this

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:34.880
one well it's no accident that lg has

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.840
nothing to compete at this price stores like amazon sell a lot of these

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:44.079
kinds of products but this segment often gets ignored by the premium brands

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

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

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:55.920
tvs like a samsung q-led for a little

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:02.719
over two thousand dollars you see what they did there it even looks like OLED

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:05.760
on the box or this one the lg 65 sk95

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.439
super uhd which you can actually get for

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.799
around the same price but just what is super about it and can

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.600
it take a chunk out of samsung's dominant tv market share

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:22.080
we'll find out after this message from glasswire glasswire is a firewall that

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:27.280
displays your pc's incoming and outgoing network connections in real time use

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:36.189
offer code Linus and get 25 off glasswire 2.0 at the link below

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:48.159
the 65 sk95 is lg's highest end

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:50.240
non-OLED tv at 2400 so no they're not

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:56.640
ditching OLED yet but they're acutely aware that until

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.719
OLED makes up a lot more than the 15

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.520
percent of their overall tv sales that they are currently they are going to

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:09.759
need other offerings as we mentioned before samsung's q-led

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.560
tvs really have nothing to do with OLED

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.560
but they're really impressive for lcds thanks to quantum dot technology which

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.560
allows them to get brighter more saturated colors across a wider gamut by

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:27.680
transmitting only pure red pure green and pure blue your typical lcd will emit

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:32.879
a wider spectrum of light that includes in between colors like orange and lime

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:37.680
leading to color desaturation and inefficiency so that is where lg's super

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:43.120
uhd comes in super uhd not to be confused with

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.440
samsung's suhd is an attempt to get

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.080
similar performance to quantum dot but with a different approach and that's

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:54.400
what this nano cell marketing that you see on the box is getting at now

00:02:51.760 --> 00:03:00.160
no one actually knows quite for sure but this technology appears to add a layer

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.159
of uniformly sized particles each about one nanometer in diameter that's about a

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:09.840
hundred thousand times thinner than a sheet of paper to filter out the

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:15.519
unwanted color wavelengths and leave just r g and b thereby preventing color

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:19.519
bleeding fading and other effects that reduce the vibrancy of the picture and

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:24.239
it seems to be working the picture looks really good fiddling with the settings

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.560
we were able to get about 89 coverage of the dci p3 color space and color

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.200
accuracy that's good enough to edit photos using the technicolor expert

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

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.640
monitor and while they can't compete with OLED

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.799
nothing can the black levels are really nice with

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:50.400
smooth gradients thanks to the full array local dimming which is quickly

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.879
going from a pricey exotic feature to a

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:57.360
must-have i mean it makes enough of a difference that even though this tv is

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:02.000
actually quite a bit thicker than last year's model

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:04.319
i'm not even mad at all like finally

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:10.640
somebody has woken up as a consumer i've been asking for this

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.720
give me more performance instead of one

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.519
more millimeter thinner i mean this is thin enough anyway and

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

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

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.759
coming to the end of thinner just for the sake of thinner in the mainstream

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:36.560
product line at least because i'm also acutely aware that lg literally has a

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.160
product called the wallpaper tv on the subject of more performance the full

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:46.320
array local dimming is here for a good reason to support HDR this puppy has

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:49.600
actual 10-bit color no frc malarkey and

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:51.919
700 nit peak with 400 nits sustained

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.960
brightness so that is a bit under the 1000 nit threshold that i would consider

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.280
like true modern HDR but they did pull off dolby vision

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:06.160
certification whose main advantage over HDR 10 is that it comes with scene by

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:10.639
scene metadata for a higher degree of backlight control and speaking of dolby

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.520
it also has a built-in dolby atmos decoder so if you're thinking of getting

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:18.000
speakers on or aimed at your ceiling you

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:24.160
don't need an extra atmos compatible receiver as long as the HDMI signal goes

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.960
through the tv finally the 65 sk95

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.600
has a refresh rate of 120 hertz or 240 if you're tasteless and

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:37.280
you turn on true motion but don't get too excited about it quite yet

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

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.919
ideal tv would have DisplayPort so it

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:51.039
could you could game on it high refresh rates

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:54.400
this one lacks either a dp 1.4 or an

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.919
HDMI 2.1 port so it won't be able to

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:59.759
receive high frame rate 4k content from

00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:04.400
external sources so you would have to stream your hfr

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.560
content not that there's a lot of that out there

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

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:16.080
gaming experience on lg tvs for quite some time at least they do allow you to

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:21.199
run at 120 hertz if you connect to the tv with your pc if

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:26.240
you turn the resolution down to 1080p the input leg isn't too shabby at around

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.800
33 milliseconds so not as fast as a high-end gaming monitor

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:35.199
but a significant improvement over last year and because it's not OLED you've

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.880
got the additional benefit of not having to worry about your hud burning in and

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:43.039
showing up while you're watching your favorite movies

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:47.759
also new this year is voice assistant integration coming from both the google

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.160
assistant and lg's own thin queue software you know what no i'm calling it

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:57.280
think finquew is obviously not what the marketing team intended and if it is

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:59.520
then shame on them anyway the tv is not

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:04.000
microphone equipped so it's not always listening like a google home instead you

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:08.560
actually issue commands by holding down the microphone button on the included

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.080
remote the google assistant will handle queries like

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:15.120
turn on the living room lights what's on my calendar or

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:20.240
show everyone boring pictures from my last vacation while think will handle tv specific

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:26.240
operations like changing the picture mode adjusting the volume or even

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:28.560
turning off at the end of this program

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

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:36.000
canada just yet something about the 49th parallel just

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:40.800
makes manufacturers not care about the people north of it

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:45.520
but that's a whole separate conversation so then should you buy this tv

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:48.639
definitely maybe it's a beautiful set that goes toe to

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:51.599
toe with quantum dot both in terms of quality and price

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:58.720
but then again lg has finally announced that their

00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:01.680
cheapest OLED for 2018 the b8 which has

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.520
the same features and processor but of course

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:11.039
that gorgeous deep black OLED picture quality

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:13.440
will be just 2100 making it 300 cheaper

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

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.680
inches the 65-inch version is 3 grand so that's an extra 600

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:29.759
my advice if you're a movie watcher and you're already spending this much OLED

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.919
is worth the upgrade but if you're a

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.039
gamer or someone who just watches the news all day

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:41.479
then i would probably save your money and go super led

00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:41.479
super led super uhd

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:47.760
