Linus tech tips coverage of ces 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:11.120
store.phantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors out there as well as

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.920
hyperx so this is something we talked about on the podcast we're here in the

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:21.520
sony booth this is the vpl gtz1 and it looks like what's behind me

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:25.119
is like a tv wall thing like super

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.840
mega wide thing but actually this is

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:32.800
what is driving it this is a 4k laser projector it sits seven inches from the

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.480
wall and i'm probably kind of not supposed to do this but i'm like leaning

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.600
over so you can see here yes i am proving it is sitting seven inches from

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.440
the wall projecting a 147

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.200
inch image one of the most impressive things about it is the fact that it uses

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.559
a very non-traditional projector system so it's actually laser projection which

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.280
does a couple of things it gives it better contrast better color vibrancy it

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:59.440
also gives it better performance in very dirty environments and i mean dirty

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.000
in the sense of there's a lot of different light sources all over the

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:08.560
place here in the hall and even in this completely unideal environment it looks

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:15.760
absolutely fantastic it supports four HDMI 2.0 inputs so yes pc gamers running

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:19.360
gtx 980s you can hook your graphics card

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.159
up to this you can game at 4k 60fps on a

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.520
massive wall assuming you have the 55 000

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.840
and the what was it five to six weeks or so that you need to wait to get sony to

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.560
custom build one of these they are built to order in japan i don't think i've

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:38.240
missed anything critical at this point other than the fact that the solution

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:42.400
you see behind you is actually running two of them if i move to the side you

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.399
can see there's two and the gentleman over there is actually holding a tablet

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.360
that allows him to dynamically switch between different content sources all

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.200
over the place so the application here is not just in extremely high-end homes

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.280
but let's say you know an art gallery that wants to build a ginormous video

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:00.479
wall and have a simple tablet interface system to show different things move

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:04.960
them around and all like that very very cool stuff and another benefit

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.800
of the laser projection system is that you won't see any diminishing in the

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.319
brightness of it until 50 000 hours so

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.400
to put that in perspective that's eight hours a day of watching tv or gaming for

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.239
15 years when you compare that to a traditional projector bulb that's going

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:24.000
to last maybe a handful of thousands of hours and is significantly dimmer even a

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:28.400
couple thousand hours in this could be the last projector or tv you ever buy

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.560
mind you if you got 55 grand to drop on a tv then yeah you could probably buy

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.599
another one later anyway and you know give that to your grandkids or something

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:43.200
now this is a fun demo i've never seen a tv this thing and probably most people

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:48.720
haven't it's only 4.7 millimeters thick this is sony's new 900 series it's

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:52.000
available in 55-inch 65-inch it's a 4k

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.319
display it's an edge lit led backlit lcd

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.640
and i mean really the claim to fame here is how phenomenally thin it is but not

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.879
only that but how well it's it actually integrates into being used because super

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.360
thin tvs have been done before but not always in a way that's particularly

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:11.280
smart so first of all the way it mounts to the wall is pretty darn unique it

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:16.480
actually comes with a system that goes into your stud and then the tv has kind

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:19.840
of a bar that screws into the thicker part of the base it's only about half of

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.599
the tv that's 4.7 millimeters thick i mean it just compromises that you have

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.040
to make physics and and whatnot but you screw in this bar and then you actually

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:30.720
just hook it onto the wall where it sits so close against the wall that it's only

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:34.080
about how far is it looks like about two and a half centimeters yeah it's about

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.680
two and a half centimeters away from the wall now of course when you do that you

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:41.840
might have issues with cable management and sound so cable management they take

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.080
care of with a little cable door so you got your standard four HDMI 2.0 inputs

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.159
you got your lan because it is a smart tv happens to be running Android tv

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.640
which is pretty freaking cool because i for one am totally sick of tv makers

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.400
trying to make their own thing every time and not just going with something

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.080
standard that actually has support so you can have you know chromecasty type

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.080
functionality you can play Android games all that kind of cool stuff yeah that's

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.400
built right into your tv and then the other thing is sound so instead of just

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:14.560
firing sound down out of a speaker firing sound into the wall heaven forbid

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:18.400
i mean rear mounted speakers are bad enough on a phone never mind you do that

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:22.000
on your tv they've actually got like a flap baffle system that enables the

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.320
speakers to kind of fire this way and then deflect the sound toward the viewer

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:29.759
with that said if you're gonna get a tv this awesome i would definitely

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.160
recommend going ahead and getting a nice sound system to go along with it

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:37.120
now this is actually the same tv we were just looking at a second ago but the

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.520
difference is that instead of having content playing on it they've got a very

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:45.040
early build of their Android tv operating system running on this

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.800
particular model now something that i actually had been

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.479
asking about off-camera as we walked over here is okay well are you guys

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:55.600
positioning Android tv as this like super high-end feature oh you have to

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:01.040
buy the most expensive model to get it and the answer is no apparently 90 of

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.520
sony's tvs for 2015 are going to feature

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:08.400
an Android os on them and not in the same way that we've seen you know

00:05:06.039 --> 00:05:12.560
Android-powered tv devices done in the past with a low powered processor so the

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:17.199
x1 processor that i mentioned does 4k upscaling before they're also saying is

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.960
well it's just pretty darn good for running just about anything in fact for

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.039
the kinds of things that you might want to do on a smart tv let's say launch a

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.600
netflix movie stream they're claiming that they can go from zero to movie

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:32.720
playing in under a minute whereas their competitors are looking at up to

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.080
multiple minutes due to the speed of the process and this is something that's

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.000
been a real frustration for me for a long time is it's all this functionality

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.560
that it supposedly has but the hardware is too slow to take advantage of it

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:48.400
anyway so there's 16 gigs of onboard storage i don't know if they're quoting

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:51.360
how much memory how much RAM there is on board or anything like that they won't

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.680
give me any details about the x1 other than that yeah it's like blazing fast is

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.039
super awesome but uh one thing that i can do i got to like i stole the remote

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:02.639
from the guy here is i can do a quick demo of how you would control an Android

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:05.360
tvs if you guys don't already know you're super smart

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.560
Linus tech tips

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:16.479
yeah dog there we go so a bunch of my videos just like that super fast but

00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:20.639
you're not locked into using the remote you can actually use an Android or an

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.240
iOS device to control it and i think that's pretty much it it's extremely

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.880
exciting to see this kind of thing finally get standardized instead of

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:33.919
being that horrible proprietary nonsense i mean Android is a popular operating

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:36.880
system for a reason and the familiarity that you're already gonna have with a

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.199
google search and google now like interface is going to help a lot with

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.199
the learning curve that most people are just slamming into like a brick wall

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:50.639
when it comes to trying to operate a smart tv so i think that's pretty much

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:52.639
it for sony tvs here at ces 2015 i do

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.160
want to do a call out for our sponsors so number one is phantom glass these

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:00.319
guys make the best darn screen protectors out there they go on without

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.840
bubbles guaranteed even i can do it it takes like 20 seconds due to the nano

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:07.199
coating on the bottom of them they're made of gorilla glass 3 so they're going

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.759
