1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,560 Just about everything is more expensive 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:09,599 these days, except TVs. What's the deal 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,320 with that? Modern TVs are bigger, look 4 00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,839 better, and are more capable than ever 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,000 before, just like me. Inside everyone is 6 00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:19,840 a full-blown computer complete with its 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,400 own app store. They even have games and 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,439 stuff. So, how are they cheaper than 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:30,400 ever? Well, let me tell you. Because TV 10 00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,239 companies don't sell TVs anymore. What 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,640 do I mean by that? Story time. Before 12 00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:40,559 being acquired by Walmart for $2.3 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,879 billion in late 2024, TV manufacturer 14 00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:46,160 Vizio posted some very interesting 15 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:49,039 quarterly results. See, Vizio lost money 16 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:54,160 selling TVs. And yet, they were able to 17 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:57,360 make $19 million in profits. How? Well, 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,840 it was all thanks to their platform plus 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,680 advertising platform. And if you need 20 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,760 any more evidence that televisions are 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,159 now advisions, look at this. Vizio makes 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,080 not one mention here of electronics 23 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,000 manufacturing. Then to really drive the 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,159 point home, Walmart's press release 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,720 announcing the deal boasts about how 26 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,960 this new acquisition will enhance our 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,040 advertising capabilities. 28 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,320 And it's not just Vizio. TCL, Samsung, 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,799 LG, name a major TV brand and they have 30 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,280 found that the real way to make money is 31 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,920 to take your data and serve you targeted 32 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,159 advertisements via their smart operating 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,280 systems. Though I think we can all agree 34 00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:41,439 that the word smart doesn't really 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,960 describe the current state of Tyizen OS. 36 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:45,680 And that's why in spite of all the 37 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,000 recent enhancements, consumers now find 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,079 themselves yearning for the days when 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,880 turning on their TV just brought them 40 00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,479 directly to the content instead of to an 41 00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:00,079 adinfested home screen. 42 00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:04,320 Seriously, it's the whole thing. This is 43 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,920 also Disney Plus. So is this. 44 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,200 It's 80% ads. So, what options are there 45 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,840 for folks who just want to display? As 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,239 it turns out, not many outside of 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,959 commercial displays that, as you'd 48 00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,920 expect, cost a lot more. But there is 49 00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:24,400 one. After some digging, we found that 50 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,319 there is still a company proudly making 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,800 untainted, pure displayonly TVs.

It's a 55 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,160 75 in TV that they promise delivers 56 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,920 resolution at its finest.

I did not think that 78 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560 some random Scepter TV would have HDR 79 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,159 support. 80 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,360 >> Did you notice that it also has 4K 81 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,080 support? Is true 4K resolution, true 4K 82 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,959 input, ultra HD upscaling. 83 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,959 It's also a 4K UHD series. 84 00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:55,519 >> Okay, so it doesn't have a lot going for 85 00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:57,920 it, 86 00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:00,239 >> but that's exactly what's going for it. 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,879 >> Exactly. I wouldn't mind if it gave me a 88 00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:05,599 little more detail. We talk in HDR10, 89 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:07,920 Dolby Vision, but hey, audio return 90 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:10,959 channel. But wait, there's more.

We did not 250 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880 coordinate this today. 251 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,680 >> It just happened. 252 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,959 >> I got so confused for a second. Yeah, 253 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:35,040 >> cuz I was like, "Oh, hold on. How do I 254 00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:36,399 get to select the right input so I'm on 255 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,600 my shield instead of 256 00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,959 >> It just went. 257 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,959 >> Actually, it was crazy. Turn it off 258 00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:43,959 again. 259 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,839 >> Content. 260 00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:50,080 >> That was so quick. 261 00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:52,080 >> That is the fastest I've gone from I'd 262 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,600 like to watch content to watching 263 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360 content in years." 264 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,720 >> Yeah. It's like you don't really realize 265 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,959 it. You you've gotten so used to like 266 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,839 the delay of waiting for your TV to 267 00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:02,880 boot. 268 00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:04,880 >> Okay. So, what is in the menu? 269 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,600 >> Okay. Picture 270 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,240 >> picture settings. 271 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,640 >> Okay. That's pretty basic. What is mild 272 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,640 picture mode? 273 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,880 >> I don't know. 274 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,160 >> What I like about it though is you can 275 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,519 see what it's changing. 276 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,160 >> Yeah, this is actually a great 277 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:23,600 interface. 278 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,600 >> It's like what what does game mean? It 279 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,279 means we crank the brightness and the 280 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,200 sharpness a little bit and we crank the 281 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:30,480 backlight and the contrast is up 282 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,920 compared to user. 283 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,360 >> And it's crazy because the smart TVs 284 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,399 could have setting menus like this. Like 285 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,959 there's no reason that they don't have 286 00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,640 settings like this, 287 00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:38,399 >> but they choose not to. They choose to 288 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,920 have you configure everything and then 289 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:42,640 you change inputs and you have to 290 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,519 configure it all again. And so when we 291 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,720 when we're not looking at our content, 292 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,800 we just get nothing. 293 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,880 >> You get a high piercing blue. 294 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:56,720 >> CEC control on. Let's go. This is 295 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,800 probably the simplest CEC interface that 296 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,720 I have ever seen. And I'm comparing to 297 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,640 devices that in some cases cost 10 times 298 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,040 as much. I blew a bunch of money on that 299 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,800 stupid AV receiver for my home theater 300 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,079 and it has caused me nothing but grief 301 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,959 with CEC. Uh, that 302 00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:15,040 was it. Now I never need to touch the 303 00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:18,920 Teu remote again because theoretically 304 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,920 hit the power on the shield. 305 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:23,920 Ooh. Oh, wait. No, 306 00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:25,040 >> maybe you do need to use the 307 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,839 >> turn the shield back on because the 308 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,320 Shield has its own CC settings. 309 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:29,519 >> There we go. 310 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,399 >> There we go. 311 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,160 >> Got to reboot. 312 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,240 >> Okay, so that was the problem. Coming 313 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,399 back to our CC issue. We didn't have it 314 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,800 enabled on the Shield, which to me means 315 00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:40,399 that from now on, we really shouldn't 316 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,000 need this again. Now that I think about 317 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:44,240 it, usually I avoid doing any sleep 318 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760 features on a TV because of how annoying 319 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,200 the power on cycle is and how long it 320 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,560 takes and how confused it gets. This 321 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 thing is actually just going to work. 322 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:53,519 Well, maybe. Okay, I've got it 323 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,040 configured now. Big moment. Power's off. 324 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:58,000 And 325 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,720 we power on the Shield. TV's on already. 326 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,160 You can see it. 327 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680 >> Oh my gosh, that's awesome. 328 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,560 >> And look, you might not like the NVIDIA 329 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:05,200 Shield. There's, you know, other TV 330 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,480 boxes. 331 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,880 >> Yeah. Plug it into your computer. 332 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,200 >> But that's the beauty of this is that 333 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,600 you can use whatever thing you want on 334 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,920 it. 335 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,600 >> Yeah. 336 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,519 >> And it doesn't get in your way. I never 337 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,680 need to look at this ever again. This is 338 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:21,440 the one remote I need. So convenient. 339 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,040 Kind of wish I hadn't thrown it at the 340 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760 floor. Like the batteries all came out 341 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,440 and everything. 342 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,360 >> It's like underneath the shelf now. 343 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,959 >> Okay, but we really need to fire up some 344 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,000 content and see if this thing is even 345 00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:34,240 worth having. Also, I wanted to know if 346 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,800 HDR was working because realistically, 347 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,639 this is not a full array local dimming 348 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,120 backlight. So, it's going to be kind of 349 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:42,399 hard to tell. It's as simple as pressing 350 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,839 the info button. 351 00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:46,079 >> Oh my gosh. H 352 00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:47,839 >> How does every TV not have that 353 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:48,880 >> right there? Just tell me what mode 354 00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:50,880 you're operating in 355 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480 >> right there. 24 hertz. 356 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760 >> That's amazing. That's exactly what it's 357 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,279 supposed to be for this content right 358 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,800 now. 359 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,360 >> Oh yeah. Volume up. Oh, you want to hear 360 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,480 it? 361 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,440 >> Well, yeah. Yo, the volume is the 362 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,399 Scepter logo. That's 363 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,399 >> That's pretty cute. 364 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:05,680 >> The speakers are bad. 365 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:07,360 >> Hold on. Hold on. You don't know that 366 00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:08,320 yet. We haven't heard Crab Rave yet. 367 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,639 >> No, that didn't happen. That didn't 368 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,600 happen. 369 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,680 >> Okay, here we go. 370 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,680 >> 48 million views. 8 million of them are 371 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,680 ours. 372 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,800 There's supposed to be uh 373 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,360 >> Okay. The speakers are bad. In their 374 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:29,120 defense, that's true of most TVs. 375 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,519 >> Yeah. And in their defense, the TVs that 376 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,360 that's not true of are so expensive that 377 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,160 you should probably be getting offboard 378 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,639 speakers anyway. 379 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,279 >> Yep. 380 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:39,200 >> But image quality. Let's fire up some 381 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,040 content. And a perfect piece of content 382 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,959 to evaluate it would obviously be the 383 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,040 most perfect piece of content of all 384 00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:45,920 time. The Aussie Mandas episode of 385 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920 Breaking Bad. 386 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,920 >> M. 387 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,600 It is very dim. It is not a bright 388 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,880 display by any means. 389 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,480 >> No. No, it's not. However, in fairness, 390 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,680 we have a big light over top of it. 391 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,639 >> Yep. 392 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:03,279 >> And it's also not bad. I mean, this is a 393 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,959 dim scene. Let's go to a not dim scene. 394 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:06,800 Does that look like a mat painted behind 395 00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:08,240 them? It's still definitely doing a bit 396 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,760 of weird sharpening 397 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,519 >> that is kind of mucking with the film 398 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,519 grain. Oh yeah. I think if we just 399 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,440 completely lose any sharpening that this 400 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,639 TV is attempting to do, we end up with a 401 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,639 way more natural image. 402 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,079 >> Those clouds are incredibly blue. 403 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:21,680 There's a pretty solid blue tint to the 404 00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:23,440 display in general. There's like loss of 405 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,160 details on the colors of like Skyler's 406 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,880 shirt here. 407 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440 >> Yeah, 408 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,800 >> but like it gets the job done. 409 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,560 >> I think there's a little bit too much 410 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,160 magenta in Hal's skin tone there out in 411 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,440 the desert. But these are the kinds of 412 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,360 things that only display dorks, people 413 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,680 who review technology for a living are 414 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,320 likely to notice or especially care 415 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,399 about. 416 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,480 >> Speaking of people who review technology 417 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:45,760 for a living, Labs tested this display. 418 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,199 >> Oh, did they? 419 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 >> Yes. 420 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,839 >> How'd that go? 421 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,880 >> Not great. When it comes to the Labs 422 00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:54,560 results, it's pretty not good. The TV 423 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,920 not super bright. Peak brightness around 424 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,920 361 nits. In SDR, delta E is not so bad. 425 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,079 In HDR, they are literally off the 426 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:05,839 chart. You cannot see how bad the bars 427 00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:07,600 go on every single color. It is not even 428 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:09,279 close. In terms of coverage, it also 429 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,519 doesn't do very good, but it does what 430 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:13,360 is promised on the manufacturer website. 431 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,839 So, they didn't lie. 432 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,120 >> Cool. 433 00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:16,240 >> That's pretty much all it's 434 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680 >> do any motion performance? 435 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,920 >> Motion performance. Let me see. 436 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,760 >> And it's awful. And that's input lag. 437 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,279 And that's even ignoring the fact that 438 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,519 the pixel transition response time is 439 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:30,959 also horrible, which normally I can't 440 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:32,320 tell in just regular content. It's the 441 00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:34,079 kind of thing that normally I'd need to 442 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,560 play games to notice, but I don't even 443 00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:36,000 need them. 444 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000 >> Yeah, you can see it a lot when you're 445 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,040 using interfaces. Also, the other thing 446 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,440 is that even at $800, there's not a lot 447 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,720 of TVs that are 75 in at that price, 448 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,560 unless you're buying like stuff that's 449 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,000 like deeply discounted. It's kind of a 450 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,480 no man's land. And I was blown away that 451 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,240 they even made a 75 in TV. But it's 452 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360 nice. You get to avoid all of the ad 453 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,040 tracking. You get to avoid stuff like 454 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480 automatic content recognition where they 455 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,480 take a scan of what's on your screen and 456 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,880 compare it to a database. All that weird 457 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560 stuff. 458 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,279 >> It's literally not sophisticated enough 459 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,920 to do that. 460 00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,240 >> And it'll it won't slow down, right? 461 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,320 Like think about how sluggish older 462 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,959 smart TVs are now because they care so 463 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,720 little about the uh user experience for 464 00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:14,399 an operating system cuz they kind of 465 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,000 want you to upgrade. It's worth noting 466 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,480 that this model specifically is kind of 467 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,320 on its way out, but they have a new 468 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 75-in model that is coming in. 469 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,839 >> We'll have that link down below. 470 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,600 >> Yeah. 471 00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:27,440 >> So, in conclusion, it's a pretty bad TV, 472 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,680 but they're also not charging a lot of 473 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,759 money for it. And it comes with benefits 474 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,000 that I think could be well worth the 475 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:37,360 trade-offs for people who value privacy 476 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,279 and simplicity. Like, watch this. I 477 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,320 don't want to watch this TV anymore. I 478 00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:43,839 press one button, it's off.
