00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,080
lg sponsored this video with their 86

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,320
nano 90 which is an 86 inch tv it's got

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,400
nano cell tech which means it has nano particles that absorb unwanted

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,199
wavelengths for a wider color gamut and bigger viewing angles and that kind of

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,840
got us thinking holy smokes i mean when you got a tv this big are you gonna need

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,720
like a dedicated theater room just to have it fit in your field of view to

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,800
find out we created this testing setup and we're gonna

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:36,640
subject all of the LMG staff well not all of

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,920
them that's a lot of people now and we're gonna subject our staff to this

10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:43,680
monstrosity of a tv and have them select

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,120
the distance at which they are most comfortable then see how that compares to the

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:56,120
prevailing wisdom out there on the internet for just how far

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,120
you should be seated from your display

14
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:10,240
nobody at lg or otherwise thinks that you should sit three feet from a 86 inch

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,880
tv so why don't we back it off a little i didn't think about how much bigger

16
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:18,880
this is than my home tv so i've got a 77 inch at home which already is like

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,240
ridiculously big but this something i think we're going to run into is that

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,080
what you're used to is going to make a big difference to the comfort of your

19
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,520
viewing experience if i was gaming i might want to be a little bit closer

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,680
actually right there that's as close as i think i could get for gaming from here

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,479
just by flicking my eyes a little bit i can see the corners of the screen if i

22
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,799
need to i don't actually have to move my head so this is as close as i'd want to get so how'd i

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,479
do then uh kind of depends what you ask so the way this is measured isn't so

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,000
much about viewing distance but about presence there's lots of different

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,159
dimensions to presence think about how immersive vr is right how much more

26
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:57,520
immersive a high refresh rate game is more like audio surrounding video sure

27
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:04,079
so having your field of view filled with the content is one element of presence

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:09,200
so where did i end up you ended up actually at right on one of the

29
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,280
recommendations uh from smpte or simpty one of the

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:19,040
institutions that measures like color science and all this kind of stuff they recommend having your field of view

31
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,920
30 degrees of it filled with the content and that was a distance of 11.7 feet you

32
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:28,879
were right on that interesting yeah so thx obviously their whole thing is

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:34,959
movies movie enthusiasts then their ideal distance is 8.6 feet that

34
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,920
corresponds to your field of view 40 degrees of your field of view being

35
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,640
filled they offer a range because they realize that not everybody is going to

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,360
be in the same conditions and people are different so they say 40 degrees would

37
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:51,040
be ideal but 36 degrees is also pretty good and thx max acceptable distance

38
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:53,760
which is 13 and a half feet that's a 26 degree field of view there's actually

39
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,720
another line that we don't have on the floor here and that's because our room isn't big enough and that corresponds to

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,319
just 10 degrees of your field of view being filled with content and that's

41
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,560
from the ntsc when they're originally setting up like tv broadcast like back

42
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,560
in the 70s or whatever so it would probably where would i be three feet

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,760
back like yeah in the door frame no

44
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,480
but what's the purpose of this line because this is way closer than what

45
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,800
anyone thinks is acceptable so for a tv this size five feet is how far you need

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,400
to be away so that you don't discern the pixels so

47
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:30,080
you don't get a screen door effect but there's other reasons that you wouldn't want to sit that close we've all been in

48
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:35,280
the front row of the movie theater where you had to like ping-pong your head around just to follow a conversation

49
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:39,840
and eye strain is a big thing too although interestingly eye strain is

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,440
worse for adults sitting close that's why kids are always sitting close to the

51
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,400
tv and they think it's fine but when you're like hey you can't sit here this

52
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,040
actually hurts yeah this is going to give you a headache it doesn't hurt them because their eyes are better at

53
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,040
focusing on closer objects than adults so you could kind of say i got it right

54
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,760
then i i think thx ideal would have been right let's see how the rest of the team

55
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,360
lines up with my experience then this is totally watchable way back here but it's

56
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,120
kind of a waste i think i'm gonna go with something like this

57
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,200
oh my god damn it i'm right on where Linus was i'd

58
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:17,040
wanna be a little bit further away i think again it just might be too close i

59
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,040
would just feel more comfortable

60
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:23,919
i think at that point it's just personal preference like i don't like being too

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,960
close to the tv i feel like right here is a pretty comfortable distance

62
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,040
but you're not really straining to see stuff even if i'm all the way back here

63
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,880
it still feels like wow this is a pretty good experience

64
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,720
if i were to design a living room i'd probably say like

65
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,360
like here but yeah a little bit closer for gaming

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,120
and then a little bit further back a little bit more relaxed

67
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,960
um for more of like immersive movie watching experience kind

68
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,280
of thing and the type of person who sits at the very back of the movie theater

69
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,759
probably around here it's comfortable for movies this is what i would want if

70
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,040
i want the best theater totally engrossing being

71
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,520
transported away experience if i was just sitting at home

72
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,360
watching a movie for the carpool critics podcast where we

73
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,639
review movies and you should go subscribe i would probably be more realistically

74
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,360
back here if i was just sitting either gaming or watching a movie by myself

75
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,520
right about here i could see the full screen perfectly clear yeah that's a

76
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,960
good distance so let's see i always will measure 50 55 degrees

77
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,639
uh each hand is about 10 degrees this is my final answer your estimate

78
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,560
with the field of view like degrees thing is actually pretty close that's

79
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,840
good that means the fist test works i always do this when i go to a theater

80
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,880
this would be like the optimal kind of distance with

81
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:55,039
like everything that's going to be there whereas like if it's purely just for

82
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:57,039
like i want to experience whatever i'm

83
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:01,280
watching itself without having to worry about anything that's going to be around

84
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:04,880
me i feel like i'd be like yeah a bit closer so it's the next day and the

85
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:09,600
results are in and interestingly there's kind of two people in the world if the

86
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,160
world is a sample size of 10 at our office

87
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,800
the first type of person ended up over here the 30 degree mark

88
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:20,800
and that's actually a viewing distance that is espoused by a lot of home

89
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:24,160
theater enthusiasts but it's also a really workable distance in a room like

90
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,080
a normal living room that has multi-purpose so

91
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,199
it's actually still really close though the second type of person we got were

92
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,520
kind of the more i like to be up close enthusiasts where

93
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,240
they are between nine feet which is the thx kind of area

94
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:44,639
even as close as about seven this is a sweet experience and it might be closer

95
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:49,680
to the tv than you thought if you're in the market for a tv this size especially

96
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,280
with a tv that's nice like this one is it looks like about 40 local dimming

97
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:57,520
zones so that's definitely less than that vizio we looked at and peak

98
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:02,000
brightness is not as high but HDR content does look pretty darn good it's

99
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:06,000
hard to call an 86 inch tv like value but it's that's how it's priced so it's

100
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,440
got some other really cool features freesync premium is included the e-arc

101
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:16,080
port is actually one of the HDMI 4k 120 hertz

102
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,840
ports so that's got some of the HDMI 2.1

103
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,759
standards built into it obviously that's less of an issue today but as the new

104
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:26,400
consoles roll out new pcs with new graphics cards

105
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,759
4k 120 hertz may may start to be a thing mostly for gaming obviously but man

106
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,960
that'd be kind of cool being able to go back and like play your xbox one or ps4

107
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:41,280
games like your back catalog games but at like 120 FPS upscaled with atmos

108
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,199
what happens so thanks to lg for sponsoring this video if you're
