00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,320
this 120 inch projection setup for the lounge is gonna be freaking awesome oh

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,800
no i'm gonna fall like the mount separates from

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,040
i'm beginning to think this may have been a big mistake this video is brought

00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,480

at the link below

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,079
back in our old lounge setup we had a super nice 120 inch elan vision tab

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,719
tension screen one of the nice things about that screen was that it was 4k

10
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:51,440
capable that is to say that the finish on it was fine enough that you could

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:56,160
actually resolve those pixels we were gonna just reuse the same one but elon

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:02,239
vision reaches out and they go no you want the new 8k evo reference screen so

13
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:04,720
what does that even mean i don't know let's flip it open

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,840
up oh i don't know if you're supposed to open it that way no i think probably not

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,760
that's a new one it's got an allen key in it but it's not bent now if you're a

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,720
regular viewer you probably saw our recent video on the

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,400
fancy pants epson epic vision laser projection tv setup but there's a couple

18
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:30,000
of reasons it doesn't quite work for our setup and the biggest one is right over

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:32,079
here our 30 000 lg signature z10 olet

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,600
that is what we're going to want a game on the projector screen comes down in

21
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,079
front of the tv as a large format display for movies or gaming with a big

22
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,720
group once we've all got our vaccinations yes get your vaccination

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,280
bill gates told me to tell you man these are some chungus brackets so

24
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,280
one thing to consider with this screen is we have 24 inches of black drop

25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,560
that's on the top of the screen so 59 inches i think it'd probably be like

26
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:01,759
right there so it's gonna have so many holes in this wall once we figure out

27
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,960
whatever height we want the screen at you can twist the little knob and that sets the like lowest it'll go so when

28
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,319
you click open all the way it stops at that point oh it's pretty heavy Jake you

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,319
think we should just put it in with drywall anchors what if you watched our

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,680
epic vision video you'll probably remember we couldn't find a stud the

31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,959
stud fighter said oh there's a stud here oh there's a stud here there's where the

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:25,440
actual stud is this will find the perfect spot in the middle yeah is this

33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,720
right it just hangs off of these you can mount it directly to the wall you can

34
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,879
mount it directly to the ceiling if you have like brick let's just measure how

35
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:36,080
far this is so it's nine feet okay so maybe let's do eight feet that way we

36
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,599
have some wiggle room all right let's do it here okay we got a marked center

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,319
somehow no three inches seem fine enough yeah minus

38
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,599
just used to three inches what are you trying to do i'm just

39
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,040
finding studs oh ow can you get this off me i quit i haven't

40
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:54,480
even told you the interesting part yet the problem with steel stud if we're

41
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,840
mounting heavy screen you can't just like put a deck screw into it right so

42
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:04,080
what do you do oh you gotta get those stupid flangy things yeah oh no and the

43
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,360
problem is steel stud is also not very wide so you got to hit it right on the

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
spot you excited no the way the toggle

45
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,159
anchor works is you actually twist it like this put the whole thing through

46
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,519
the hole then you can kind of see that you can adjust it so it's

47
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,040
vertical so it aligns with your stud you pull this little plastic tab and it kind

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,519
of zips can you see the zip tie teeth there and then it holds it in close to the

49
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,879
drywall so you're actually screwing into this pre-threaded hole that's a strong

50
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,000
material here super cool it looks very weird hey

51
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:40,080
stand on a chair you say you know this is a rolling chair right

52
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,239
are you trying to kill me you weigh like 110 pounds it's fine sorry i've never

53
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:47,840
actually used this there's a button on that side yeah you gotta go this way

54
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:54,080
like the smallest amount oh how about now oh oh oh how about now oh boy how

55
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,360
about now are you drunk i can't see it

56
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,680
hold on now i am barely even touching it okay how

57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,159
about now about the same but you're on the other side now what

58
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,840
how much do you trust me i mean you did put extra holes in the wall last time

59
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:12,239
you're not wrong oh that's a stud baby i can see it

60
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,919
okay there we go so yeah we're definitely in the middle of the stud because i can't turn it at all nice

61
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,720
first try so you were saying uh you wanted this to be more challenging and we should throw

62
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,960
stuff at you right how about this oh you pillow

63
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,840
moment of truth oh look at that it's

64
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,479
mint now for the projector itself we reached out to epson this is the epson 605u beam

65
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,080
if we put it next to the dinky little thing we had in the lounge before you

66
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:45,360
could probably fit four of them inside this it could eat them and a huge part

67
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:48,400
of why this thing is so big is the lens

68
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,040
it is a proper motorized unit with a

69
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:56,639
huge range of lens shift which allows the lens to actually shift the projected

70
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,479
image around to accommodate a wider range of mounting options you want your

71
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,840
projector to be mounted right in line with the center of your screen which in

72
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,240
our case that would require the projector to hang like five

73
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,960
six feet down from the ceiling which would suck because you could easily hit

74
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,000
your head on it when you're walking around to combat this most people end up

75
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,280
mounting their projector up high tilting it down to line up with where they want

76
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:27,280
their screen to be and then using keystone to fix the weird angle and make

77
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,360
the edges perpendicular it's not ideal because keystoning is done digitally

78
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,080
which means the image will no longer be native resolution which can hurt

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,280
sharpness and if you're going to spend the money on a 4k projector 4k or 8k

80
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,600
resolution screen the last thing you want to do is go and add keystone to it

81
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:48,080
but with proper lens shift we can have the projector just a few feet down from

82
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:52,080
the ceiling and then shift the whole image without distorting it to line up

83
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:56,319
with our screen now this guy's rated for 2600 lumens with both color and white

84
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,639
output but many reviewers say they saw in excess of 3 000 lumens in the

85
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,800
brighter modes which is sweet another thing that's cool is even though it's 4k

86
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:09,120
enhanced which means the actual projection chip is 1080p but then it

87
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:15,680
shifts over a pixel at twice the refresh rate it's not dlp like our old projector

88
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:20,800
was so instead this one uses epson's own three lcd technology which uses a prism

89
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:25,600
to split the lamp or the led light into r g and b which is then passed through

90
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:29,120
three distinct lcd panels to show the image in each given color and then those

91
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,759
are all combined and projected through the lens that means no rainbow effect

92
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:41,440
and typically better power efficiency we've got an 18 gigabit HDMI 2.0 we've

93
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:43,759
got serial control lan vga because we've

94
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,800
got a usb power port here that we can use to power our active HDMI cable and

95
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:55,280
the last noteworthy thing to talk about is mounting this was a pre-loved media

96
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:59,599
sample so unfortunately it didn't come with a mounting plate fortunately we

97
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,000
have a Jake and a collin and a pretty sick shop and we were able to whip up a

98
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,319
quick design and route out our own aluminum mounting adapter then we just

99
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,800
need to attach that to our benq extendable ceiling mount and boom put

100
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,680
the projector on it that's super upside down whatever it doesn't matter we just

101
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,400
need to make sure we get the distance right and according to epson's projector

102
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:24,280
calculator our screen not the wall the screen needs to be at least 11.8 feet

103
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:31,120
away 11.8 feet great dimensions right

104
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,880
11.8 feet but how do you measure 0.8 of a foot so fortunately ceiling grids are

105
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:38,960
a standard this is two by four so it makes it pretty easy for us to go one

106
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:42,720
two three four five six twelve now i was originally concerned when i

107
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,680
lined it up here that the light but i think we just put it on this side and

108
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,800
just move the screen over an inch it's 30 pounds so what we're just gonna mount

109
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,560
it to the t-bar no the actual trusses

110
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,919
that support the ceiling if you look at the way that they're designed it's kind

111
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,120
of like a little edge on each side yeah and i

112
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,960
measured it out so i went and bought some two by ten and i was thinking we

113
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,919
just cut it to that size and just looked pretty freaking easy right yeah let's do

114
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,759
that all right so we can worry about safety later you ready here we go let go

115
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,680
now yeah just put your wood in here i've given you my wood it's all in you wow

116
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,000
you're pretty pretty good at handling wood oh yeah i can't see a thing with

117
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,680
that light in my eyes oh wow that's really tight

118
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,240
i ah look at that okay let's see if it's

119
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:34,080
strong oh my oh no wow that was really dumb

120
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,630
don't worry i got this wait

121
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:43,919
nobody could have saw that coming

122
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,560
it's really not that heavy so oh shut up okay um

123
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,560
all right now i have it can you reach well look just get off the ladder it's

124
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:01,360
really heavy if you want to well you told me it wasn't i can't

125
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:06,080
get it up oh come on come on

126
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,839
ow okay let's try that there's only a 30 000 OLED behind

127
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,800
okay oh no what the power cord's over there and the

128
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,839
plugs over here no it doesn't matter it's going in the ceiling oh it's a good

129
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:23,320
thing that i didn't remove this in the uk because then it might have breaks it

130
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,760
there we go so how come we didn't go with a gray screen the problem with an

131
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:38,000
ambient light rejecting screen is that the viewing angles aren't exactly

132
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,640
fantastic always damn daniel how far down does it go

133
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,000
i think that's good that feels pretty good okay so you're on the screen yeah

134
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:50,880
yeah we're definitely good because i've got 12 feet to here oh nice i think

135
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,240
we'll take the mount plate and like put the rod on it just so we're getting that

136
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,600
corner proper and then sort of mark it and then drill it it works out to be

137
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,550
just about right there so just take the nuts off watch this you'll you're going

138
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,880
to love my nuts

139
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Jake i need you back over here i forgot my nut washer

140
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,560
you got to put that on there because what the hell why did you just let go of

141
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:18,640
it why did you just i was just trying to tilt it forward what even was that can

142
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:20,399
you uh grab my tiny nut here twist

143
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:25,519
what are we doing right now they're parfait so that should oh okay

144
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,760
heavy projector right here do a few reps of that just ah

145
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:32,480
do we need to access these bolts i mean once it's already in there it's not

146
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,560
going to matter or just leave it for now just like the mount separates from

147
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,839
that's what i was trying to say is you can just pull it right out there's a reason we do the things we do

148
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,839
oh i just realized that the mount location is not necessarily the lens of

149
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:49,600
the projector oh we should do it on the other side let's do it on the other side

150
00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:52,480
you're moving the thing so much every time should be fine

151
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,519
how's that in your eyes good i love the screen size but the

152
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:04,640
mounting process is just so tedious and this is even with a drop ceiling this is

153
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,640
your best case scenario

154
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:11,600
so wait what do i just pop this on there hold on put this on here first

155
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,600
thanks Jake that's really helpful

156
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,839
don't worry i got this

it on so this is what we're talking about

164
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:51,040
where if we didn't have lens shift we basically have to go like this but

165
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040
because we do theoretically

166
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:01,200
that's so cool i love optics for you home cinnamon nerds this is like um yeah

167
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:05,040
about every projector in the last 20 years we were getting it all aligned and

168
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:09,600
dialed in and then i realized this is a 50 foot active optical HDMI cable from

169
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:14,240
infinite cables and all of that is pretty neat except when you consider

170
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:19,200
that it is HDMI 2.1 certified so that makes it pretty

171
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:22,560
freaking baller this projector looks way better than the old one just even on the

00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:26,480

175
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:39,440
