1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,640
so james and i haven't really reached a consensus on why exactly it is we are

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,400
doing this video do you mind grabbing an end oh wow i don't need it it's really

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,400
not very heavy but thank you anyway um

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,920
he figures it's because uh well we keep doing all these cheap

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,840
display videos yeah and then we were doing these walmart videos yeah so why

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,720
not just make a sandwich of those two you know

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,279
what sure let's go with that so this is the

8
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,559
on 43 inch led hdtv

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:39,040
class full class and we are going to find out if how much does this thing

10
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:46,160
cost i think 168 bucks some people have got it for 125 on clearance we're gonna

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:49,200
find out if the 43 inch 125 dollar tv is

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,079
worth 125 dollars if it even makes it to

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,079
you alive we're just shaking your head and this video is brought to you by

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,680
storyblocks storyblocks offers you studio quality stock video clips for a

15
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:02,950
fraction of the cost check out storyblocks at the link in the video

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,999
description

17
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:15,200
i think we should actually assess the shipping and packaging of this it has a

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,759
huge gen it's possible possibly it's possible that tyler drop kicked this but

19
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:24,240
i don't think so i don't think he did and the reason i'm doing a concern is

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,600
because inside there's really not a lot of extra packaging so not only is this a

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,759
cheaper a hard type foam

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,400
but this is cheaper among the hard type foam packing

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,840
materials that i've encountered did you see the way that piece just came apart

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:48,320
okay can we do a video together with you not throwing

25
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,640
absolutely no subject of the video no it's in my contract

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:55,799
there's nothing in front there's nothing in front

27
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:02,719
small correction just after mine and james's uh styrofoam

28
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:09,440
fight to the death we actually found that there is a little bit more protection on the panel side there's

29
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:14,879
this piece of cardboard it weighs like nothing the spec sheet says 18.5 pounds

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,080
but it feels lighter doesn't it just because it's so big it's like there's

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,360
nothing in it so there's our ir receiver

32
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,319
on a little pcb there

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,640
there's our stereo speakers that i have oh very high expectations for

34
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:34,480
i will say that cheap tvs have come a long way in terms of their i o or at

35
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,000
least i don't know this one has so it's got an audio pass-through so if you have

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,440
HDMI audio coming in from your cable box or your console or whatever you can pass

37
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,840
that through to your standalone speakers

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,840
optical um in or out

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,239
unclear at this time and then you've got actually component in as well as

40
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:59,680
composite and then you've also got uh three actually three hdmis count them

41
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:05,280
three HDMI ports including one with audio return channel so that's neat okay

42
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:10,080
what is this thing that some kind of old people connector and of

43
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:14,159
course there's one usb port which i mean it's nice to have especially since this

44
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,159
is not a smart tv so if you want to have any smart tv features you're gonna have

45
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:21,120
to get like a fire tv stick or roku whatever they call theirs yeah so at

46
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,519
least you can power something with it even if you don't want to just load

47
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,239
videos onto a usb thumb drive and plug them into your tv like my parents did

48
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,040
until actually i'm pretty sure they still do that it's got a base amount and you

49
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:36,799
could probably just double sided tape it to the wall for how much it weighs i'm

50
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,400
kidding don't do that but like holy crap and that's even with a metal backing

51
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,080
like this isn't even a plastic backing like the panel itself must just weigh

52
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,530
nothing and it's not like it has an external power brick or anything either

53
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,700
wait where's the stand

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:00,080
there you go that is not very impressive like i sincerely hope this thing is

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,640
decent but this is one of the sort of issues that i take with low-cost

56
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,760
electronics is that because they have a very limited lifespan both in terms of

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,799
how long they're gonna just continue to work and in terms of their features and

58
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,359
no real resale value they tend to generate a lot of waste it feels like

59
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,280
compared to higher end stuff it depends on who buys these things if you look at

60
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,560
their page it looks like who they're targeting are the type of the people who

61
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,720
actually are still using a crt

62
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,600
do you guys see what just happened there on the description page it says is your

63
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:40,320
tv 20 years old and blurry you're lying so i think this is like for grandpa when

64
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:46,800
he finally makes the switch because his giant crt is like just actually kicked

65
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,800
the bucket after 25 years

66
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,800
team lift team lift hold on hold on anything you can do with one hand

67
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,560
no did you hear that

68
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:03,199
i think we're okay i don't think anything cracked but yeah

69
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,199
you gotta have something to push against

70
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,560
oh man this is great uh integrated button layout they like

71
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,240
they have this on here as though that's some kind of desirable feature but

72
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:21,680
instead of can i power it on is it plugged in instead of a joystick configuration it's

73
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,600
this like orbiting configuration

74
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,639
that just kind of feels like nothing to the back of your hand and obviously

75
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,600
you're not gonna like you're not gonna leave this stupid sticker here

76
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:36,160
so you just have to kind of like guess this isn't even the good p like the good

77
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:40,479
peeling peel this is just like tape yeah it just feels like a like packing tape

78
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,759
oh like it's just my joy is so robbed

79
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,160
oh bottom one's not too bad

80
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:54,160
this is like lady in the oh i mean at least it does have an included

81
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,800
remote control oh i wasn't going to show you that until later because i wanted

82
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,199
you to struggle with the buttons on the back people in the house put your hands in

83
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,000
the eggs you don't care then we don't care

84
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,080
we've got picture modes oh it comes in

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,680
eco by default that's interesting i wonder if that's

86
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,240
part of their like good power efficiency ratings that they just like dim the

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:20,400
freaking backlight out of the box kind of makes sense because a lot of the reviews on walmart's product page say

88
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,080
how you absolutely must change it to dynamic picture mode

89
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:27,280
video or graphic uh that could be like an image return

90
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,960
retention thing oh you know what it might be is uh

91
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,160
like like a limited versus full range mode maybe this will become more clear

92
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,440
once we have a signal going through and you can actually see how it changes so

93
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
what sound mode are we supposed to choose movie

94
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,880
movie sound and dynamic picture is what everyone says makes it mint i think

95
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,840
all right if mint is like a flavor you detest it's mint

96
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:56,639
voice guidance voice vitamins

97
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:06,240
please keep this on speed standard fast

98
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,240
how do you like it

99
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:13,759
i feel like we're disabling hal get it to sing daisy

100
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:21,129
it sounds so sad

101
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:29,120
okay all right all right all right all right i'm done i'm done

102
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:33,280
oh let me help you with that thank you HDMI

103
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,520
2 r HDMI

104
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,680
2 car one girl

105
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,960
p 60 hd

106
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,520
so this was the uh hold on a second

107
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:53,520
and yeah the fact that you got signal okay please

108
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,919
don't interrupt me on the fact that we got a signal is

109
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,080
actually pretty nice because there's a lot of people in the reviews saying how they

110
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,639
either connected to the computer and it didn't work or they connected to a dongle and it didn't work or all these

111
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:11,960
different things so so far i've connected this to an amazon fire stick and a computer and it's

112
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:11,960
worked so bless up

113
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:22,400
so graphic is how you get rid of over scan

114
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,520
what so no it doesn't have to do with like uh

115
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,959
limited versus full range black levels it's how you do like just

116
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,800
scan like pixel one-to-one pixel mapping instead of having it over scanned

117
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,959
it's been a while since i've looked at a 1080p display

118
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:44,320
from this close it ain't great it's not a great experience i remember there was

119
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:48,720
this guy that i used to go to lan parties with back when i had a life i

120
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,640
mean sort of i went to land parties and i don't even think his was 1080p and he

121
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:58,160
was like yeah it's great i'm like yo it's like measurably like like with a

122
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:01,360
like with a measuring tape like not great

123
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,600
display adapter properties are these gonna come up that's weird i've never seen this fail

124
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,720
to come out is that because it

125
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,200
you have no properties is that Windows you're homeless

126
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,720
they don't call it Windows for nothing here have all the Windows Windows 10. at

127
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,800
least they're allowing you to close them in whatever order you want all right so

128
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:31,040
i guess probably like what we want to watch some content on it like

129
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:38,399
really we're gonna watch mkbhd instead of our own channel you know what fine he's not

130
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:42,880
gonna copyright strike us so i guess this was your agenda here you

131
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:47,120
pulled up mkbhd because you figured well we want something with known good audio

132
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,920
and we can't always trust ourselves so we can properly evaluate the speakers

133
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:57,920
fine i can take it you clicked on this he sounds like ass

134
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,160
no offense yeah like no offense dude

135
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:05,680
the imac pro 10 grand for that machine the imac pro starts that somehow it

136
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,800
really does sound like it's coming from like

137
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,200
under the table or something i was watching infinity war yesterday on netflix and it was basically like

138
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,000
everybody was in the bottom of a barrel but like like it somehow doesn't sound like it's

139
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,839
coming from here it somehow sounds like it's coming from lower

140
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:25,279
let's watch a trailer this is a great hold on this is a great freeze frame of

141
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,040
him that's exactly my thoughts on this tv

142
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:33,279
come on action i rewatched this recently it was still good i liked it

143
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:38,000
did you put the on movie mode now let me check let me check

144
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,890
okay it's this no no it's working

145
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:52,079
just like glitched out you're gonna go to the menu that's what you're doing

146
00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:58,320
this might actually be worse like i can barely like make out the

147
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:04,160
dialogue even though this is like a trailer and typically the dialogue is

148
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,240
so i did some uh i ran calman and i can i can i do a subjective

149
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,279
evaluation sure did you see those they looked like weird artifacts in my

150
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,920
eyes oh do you see that is that a compression

151
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,240
issue with the playback or is that the tv that is not handling

152
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,800
darks very well you can actually see the same thing in my mouth i actually need

153
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800
to grab a laptop

154
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:30,720
no that's not present on the laptop

155
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,320
what do you think of just the colors overall i mean

156
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,399
they're not right but they don't stand out to me as

157
00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:43,600
particularly terrible there's not a lot of depth um there's some oversaturation

158
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,160
going on in the default profile here at the very least it's less noticeable in

159
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:51,519
this kind of a dark scene but here you can really see that's not a very

160
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,279
natural look for me

161
00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:03,360
oh wow that is really overdone sorry people suggest this mode yes

162
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,560
that doesn't even look like wood why don't you pull up the results here

163
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:17,120
okay and this isn't dynamic or standard this one's dynamic the standard didn't

164
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:20,560
fare too much better so to be clear guys

165
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:24,079
a delta e of less than two is considered

166
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:27,440
color accurate with less than five being

167
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:30,560
fine for consumer grade this is anywhere

168
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:33,519
from an average it's an average of 12.6

169
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:38,399
and a maximum of 23. so we have dots here that are so far off their boxes

170
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:45,600
it's hard to tell what box that it went with color space 97 of srgb is that right

171
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:46,880
yeah that's actually not terrible

172
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,200
should we play some games check out the input lag all right

173
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:54,800
well if we had any doubt that the scalar in it is a steaming pile of hot garbage

174
00:12:53,680 --> 00:13:00,079
um resalmon it's a pokemon

175
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:04,880
so we selected a fast-paced game to evaluate the tv's input lag because i

176
00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:10,240
could actually see this making a ton of sense for like

177
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:13,680
just like a side room like a like a den or something where you just play video

178
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:18,720
games and it doesn't need to be the most cinematic or kids like a rec room for

179
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:23,680
the console gaming exactly exactly now that's weird is this like an open over

180
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,680
sharpening artifact or is this because of the low res

181
00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:33,040
like these look at the edges of these strands they look like a cheap stereo 3d

182
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,279
effect or something because of how sharpened they are now i

183
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:42,800
had another idea you know how i was saying that it was hard for me to tell

184
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,160
if the issue was uh to do with just the low resolution i haven't looked at a

185
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,079
1080p display from this close-up in a long time

186
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:56,720
so we can figure out if it's sharpness or if it's low res by just adjusting it

187
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,199
and it was definitely

188
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,199
that's right

189
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:05,680
wow that looks so much better

190
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,760
and the crazy thing too is like yeah text here too

191
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:14,399
same thing now i can make out the low contrast more easily now oh that was

192
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:17,519
probably the eye no no it's still kind of there let's see

193
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:23,440
how it's still there you know what though honestly it's not that hard to tell it's not bad

194
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,959
like there's no game mode but and it's not amazing

195
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:32,639
but considering this is a 60 hertz display

196
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:34,800
this is very very usable for sure

197
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:40,240
so really what it's competing with then is the scepter model that was uh how

198
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:46,160
much 230 bucks so 50 bucks more and how big 50 inches 50 inches now with scepter

199
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:50,560
we actually had pretty good luck with those guys when we did the cheapest 4k

200
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:56,000
monitor on amazon that was a scepter but we got a peach we got a good one and

201
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:59,360
from the reviews on amazon they're pretty hit or miss there's lots

202
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,480
of lemons so what would you do do you buy this one turn the sharpness

203
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:06,800
off and enjoy the the dynamic theater

204
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:10,320
quality sound oh yeah you have to factor in an extra 70 bucks for an entry level

205
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:13,199
sound bar just so you can hear dialogue if you're watching the evening news so

206
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,720
at that point i think i would just spend the money get a little higher or if if

207
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,279
you want to cheap out just get something used so we want to hear from you guys in

208
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:26,000
the comments below they both had kind of bad speakers and kind of bad color this

209
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,920
one had worse color but do you take the scepter

210
00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:37,519
4k but smaller display that we featured last time or do you take the on

211
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:38,959
1080p 43 inch one or do you just go used

212
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:42,240
or do you step up a little bit in the product stack do you want us to take a

213
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:47,279
look at that scepter 50 inch in the future let us know we will be reading them

214
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:52,720
because i think we are far from done with cheap displays

215
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,440
can it run at uh 120 hertz like can you overclock it did we try

216
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,440
no i didn't try

217
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:07,519

the stuff we featured at the link in the video description james and i are sort

230
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:58,320
of not really in agreement

231
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:03,920
about whether you should or shouldn't or whether this has any application whatsoever but i think what we all agree

232
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:07,280
on is that we should probably have a styrene fight to the death

233
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,000
grenade

234
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,839
no i know

235
00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:26,240
the joke's on him though because i knew that i wasn't going to be cleaning this
