the honest truth is that today's video didn't work out so Jake and i knocked
off early and we're gonna set up my family room we've got three main goals
today number one is to un-this if i the
place number two is to get the brand new
sony x95k tv setup right there and
number three is to deal with the sound setup which is gonna be
either really simple or a royal pain in the butt unlike the segway to our
sponsor yeah not painful at all signal RGB ditch the hassle of using multiple
RGB applications with signal RGB you can control and sync your favorite RGB
devices all from one free app download signal RGB today at the link down below
the tv is obviously the most exciting part we got to start moving stuff out
yes we do there's crap in the way if we unsort this stuff out my son's going to
have a hissy fit so we're just going to go dump it on his bed right
yeah i wouldn't recommend it i'm not even going to attempt to
organize Yvonne's stuff no no you're good oh you're just yeah
no don't shoot this way you're killing the rapid cleaning illusion what even is
all this crap my aunt bless her heart brings a lot of crap into our house so
tell her to stop this is the bin of things for her to take away please i was
not sure that we were going to be able to get away with putting an OLED in this
room because even one generation ago they were not really optimal for rooms
with a lot of natural light like this one but that all changed
with the release of samsung's qd OLED
quantum dot OLED technology but Linus
you might say that's a sony not a samsung that's because this sony display
uses the same panel as samsung's s95b a
qd OLED panel but with Android tv built
in instead of samsung's awful tizen os and with superior image processing
oh not to mention dolby vision i like how this isn't like paper thin hey
man some of those lg tvs i don't even want to pick it up speaking of lg it
should be noted that in response to the qdo led threat lg actually released a
newer updated version of their w OLED technology that gets
pretty much just as bright but
after testing them side by side by side we determined that this was the best of
the current generation tvs which isn't to say that it doesn't have any
downsides for one thing it's really
expensive like 33 more expensive and for
another it's only available in a really limited amount of sizes i think you can
only get 55 65 and 75. i don't even know
if it goes to 75 but it works out great for me because
this opening right here is actually modified from the original cabinet which
is so deep because it was designed for a crt tv
and then all of your like cds and stuff
so we went we ripped those side ones out and it happens to be exactly perfect for
a 65-inch tv it's like it was meant to be yeah yeah yeah but i need a
screwdriver i'm so glad you brought that up let me
show you my perfectly organized garage let's go the tour begins with my
wonderful paint booth oh oh you're doing the are you doing these yourself yeah
why not really can i touch it is it yeah yeah yeah let's try yeah you have you
sanded it yet kind of feels like crap right now i'm using the oil but i'm
finishing with a semi-gloss very thin that's fine yeah
but you got to sand it a lot more they look really nice though this one has
more coats than that one i ran out of oil at any rate the point is what do you
think of my paint booth this is not bad though this only took me like three
hours but this is my gloriously organized one shelf the contractors i
was gonna say you said garage like this is one shell yeah the contractors are
using the rest of the space in here look ask me for anything and i will
immediately summon it cat6a keystone jacks
yes
okay painter's tape painters tape yes
um battery charger for the impact driver battery charger for the impact driver oh
crap nope that's over here hold on no no no no i've got it right here plugged in
well no oh but come on come on i i've got it
well you're not gonna test me anymore i'm ready this is a really weird mount i
have never seen one quite like this before oh interesting so they hit every
vasa pattern by having it like adjustable rather than just attaching
little bars to the tv and putting it onto the thing you attach the thing to
the tv and then hang the whole thing on the thing okay i can already tell that
this mount is stupid uh oh because here's the problem it tells you to put
it in the center right this bar should be the equal length from
the middle right yeah but the nice thing about the ones where you put the bar on
the tv the two little hangers yeah is you just move the tv if it's off yeah
this you have to like take the tv off the wall screw with these things
there's no way that's how you look center
and then tighten am i stupid i mean
well i just the height of this is gonna be very
important oh seriously i mean we can adjust this a little bit we can go a
little bit back and forth i mean you're not going to want the mount to hang off
the bottom fortunately this sony tv has this cool pattern on the back makes it
really easy to center oh that worked out great for everyone involved yeah we
basically have to nail the height or it is not going to sit in front of this
noise here yeah well i understand that with that in mind i have an idea do you
know what the total height of the tv is i just want to get like this part properly so that this gap is correct i
can find the total height of the tv 83 and a half is like
there wow it's gonna be i know
narrow margins here so we just need this little mark i made here it is
to the bottom of that so from the bottom of the tv
to this hole needs to be 21 plus whatever that is
like 20 and a half there that
is two centimeters above the mark where we want the bezel of the
tv to sit this is 18 and a half from the top of this plus two is 20 and
a half i then take my caveman level and
i go a little something
like that oh my god the noise oh yeah oh yeah
that's not going anywhere boys i do wish there was more vertical adjustment
after that it really it says it's level okay is the cabinet
level though well that i don't know no oh
come on come on really hold on it's not even
close Jake all right let's put the tv on the wall and see if our maths worked
screw it uh can you even fit back there oh
now that's using your head oh wait it did do
did it do yeah it did do it should be noted that sanus only rates this for
55-inch tvs it's well within the weight limit but it's well within that's why i
was gonna say it i was gonna say and i was hosting the video not too slow okay
and oh okay let's not do that you good okay
well actually close but the height
height how did you screw that up man come on so close
oh no oh my god that
will go there
sorry how's your forearm ouchy
okay it's in okay can we just leave it like
no okay down on the left way too much that's pretty good right
now oh that's not no no back up back up i would just leave it there it's
actually not bad now we just have to plug everything in yeah let's just put
the xbox down there there's so many options i actually kind of love this
setup because we had a mesh thing put in here so we can have cooling in here if
we really want to um i thought we were putting a subwoofer in there i don't
actually think this sub is gonna fit in there oh actually it might i'm gonna i'm
gonna take my best shot at it though i'm gonna say it's not gonna sound great
yeah oh you know what that actually kind of might work
here what the oh this is about to get really
fun now okay you ready boys no wait till i pull this uh hide and seek hiding spot
on my kids they will literally never find me
okay try to come out now thank you very funny there's so much
space to work back here honestly it's kind of amazing what we're doing right
now oops is i'm plugging the e-arc HDMI port into
this little a9 box from sony this is the
wireless slash processing box for their
super cool a9ht speaker set it's pretty
expensive but compared to a single sound bar it is a actually kind of good
solution obviously it's not going to sound as good as the home theater setup
downstairs but the positioning of the speakers is super flexible and they look
really nice so the wife approval factor is very high these got the crap kicked
out of them when we were working on that video for sony because Jake forgot to
take them out of our leaning tower of forgot
i didn't make the tower who made the tower oh no
anyway one of the coolest things about these is that you can kind of put them
wherever you want then they measure the room and
adjust now that's a feature that's available on lots of audio products
everything from sound bars to actual full home theater setups but because
these are four discrete speakers you're going to get better directionality out
of them than you can from a single source sitting right under your
tv and we did try them and even though it was sponsored they do actually sound
pretty good and the effect is very good we won't say things even in a sponsored
video that we don't actually think yeah so are you i mean i'd like to have it
here but i have no idea where i know if i plug that in the back ones i've
positioned here i'm just gonna put it here and then i'll just like tuck the oh
my god there's a hole already beautiful you got that there's a hole on the other side no
use your tv as a center speaker next yes they have these drivers directly behind
the panel and when you use a compatible surround setup you can actually use the
tv speakers themselves like like built in here as your center channel so we've
got our right we got our left the right our center we
got our rear and we got our other the right is not powered yet oh well i'm
working on it yeah drill the hole i'm working on it geez i'm trying to tell
the people about the center speaker
ow andy i have an idea if i go at an angle like
this i can go through i can go through the wall here
and then the bottom of this empty space this cavity here and meet up with my
hole i made here that goes through the wall here
oh are you using that up there don't worry about it you can see it oh it's
here did i get it yeah mine a problem
here's a couch and there's a speaker i'm not sure what
Yvonne has planned for these but i'm fairly certain
that this isn't it
oh beautiful now we just need some decor this is an Yvonne initiative she's been
buying every lego plant thing that they release
and she's planning to use them in place of actual plants in our house i actually
think it looks kind of amazing though my grandmother gave me this egg what she
ever expected me to do with it i'll never know but
now it's here my random sword from the richmond night
market i need decor items why do i suck
at this so much ah fake plans yes success oh god
that has to have been done by one of the kids that's not going up how's that one look
mediocre at best size wise does this kind of work it's a little small it is a
little small it's small man i know it's small Jake telling me it's small some
more doesn't change anything you sound like Yvonne i was gonna say is that a
soft spot for you you seem like you've heard that a few times it's better but
the frame is awful uh yeah the frame doesn't really work
you should paint the frame yeah i could paint the frame but you can do it right
now for me no i can't paint the frame right now well i mean you have like gap
or tape well you know i could
oh really
not bad hey andy now for the real maneuver getting everything
assembled and on the wall without getting paint on myself or anything else
especially not this white carpet yeah you boys ready or the aussie drops it
very high okay it's in the glass is in
wow look at that it looks better than a dip it's temporary it's temperature it's
a solid like i'm gonna give you a six six and a half okay we're gonna try the
optimization
it's pretty good it's a lot better than just a sound bar
way better than just a sound bar and that was the goal especially in this
environment just a sound bar would be awful probably this is not bad though
this room like feels good the egg's a little weird oh yeah the eggs here look
it's from my grandmother okay
works pretty good it's a little bit i feel like it is
cockeyed a little bit but you know maybe if i just
this is pretty good it's definitely not the theater room no but
it's pretty damn good for what it is it was never going to be the theater room i
would say this is excellent for what we're trying to do like being able to
get this level of surround sound but stealthy in this form factor
looking this good in this kind of space was unheard of
until this kind of product existed one thing with the cuties
yeah one thing with the qd oleds is it seems like they reflect more light
so the black doesn't look as black in a lit room like this but
it's still way better than an lcd holy
look at how red that is you know the tv being the center channel actually helps
those speakers being so high not sound so weird yeah perfect world i think what
i would like to do is get those out a little bit farther and then
move the tv up and get a super slim
speaker and mount it under the tv to make up the difference in height because
they do have a speaker output on the tv so it'll pass through
that's the project for another day though for now this room is
freaking awesome just like our sponsor
