1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,279
I'm actually super excited about this video. I mean, it's all fine and good to

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:12,880
be checking out the latest like $5,000 BFGD or, you know, $5,000 OLED displays,

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:18,320
but that's not what most people are actually buying. So, James

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,760
here went online and got some of the most popular displays or TVs that you

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,840
can get that are 4K under $400. Let me try that. Let's try that

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,199
one more time. All 4K under $400.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,239
Anywhere from around 50 in to I think

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:36,079
from 49 to 55. Sweet. So, we're going to

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:41,120
let you guys know which ones are the best in terms of the color reproduction,

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,960
viewing angles, interface, and features, and we're going to do it all in the next

11
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:49,120
8 to 9 minutes. That's what you know. What Lionus doesn't know is that there's

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,960
an al there's a game mechanic built onto this. Oh, really? So, as you can see,

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,920
each one of these TVs, do not touch that. has a concealed message in front

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:02,320
of it corresponding to one of these prices. Oh, so I have to decide which

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,000
one is which. Yes, that's right. You're gonna look at each of these TVs and then

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:11,119
you're going to tape one of these prices to each one. Wow, one of them is 220

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:16,880
bucks. I'm looking forward to this. But that's not all. There's stakes. Sorry,

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:22,240
what? If you get them all right, you get to enjoy a bowl of your favorite cereal.

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,080
Cranberry Almond Crunch. Okay. I like cranberry almond crunch. And you have to

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,320
agree to this. Agree. Agree right now. Okay. Sure. Anything to make the content

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:36,159
better. If you don't get them all right, you have to

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,360
endure a nice big bite of durian. I knew

23
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:46,400
this was coming. I knew it was going to be aing durian. I talked to his wife.

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,880
You're just not There's no milk. You're not expecting me to get them all right.

25
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,119
There's almond milk in the fridge. If it comes to it, it kind of tastes like

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,159
spit. But all right, let's get started. The

27
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,719
first thing that stands out to me, not just about the scepter here, but about

28
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:11,360
all of these displays is how couple of generations ago looking the bezels are.

29
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Not just in their thickness, cuz they're I mean, they're reasonably thin. How

30
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:21,040
thin of a bezel do you need? but in the way that they're sticking out from the

31
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:25,680
actual panel itself. Like having them flush against the glass has become a

32
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:32,160
trend over the last couple of years. The other thing is that they are all using

33
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,920
this twoft style of stand. And it never

34
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,480
occurred to me before cuz I just didn't think about it. But yeah, it must be

35
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:42,879
cheaper to have the weight like all the mass of the TV sitting on top of

36
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:46,319
something instead of having to build a skeleton on the inside that goes up the

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,040
middle and is strong enough to be supported by just one point. Like the

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,360
back is metal instead of plastic. And there's not a ton of IO. What the hell?

39
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,800
It doesn't have a network jack. There's no home button on the remote because

40
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:03,760
there's no dashboard because it's not a smart TV. This is super unresponsive,

41
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,440
too. What the hell? I think part of it is the receiver, like just getting the

42
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,720
signal. Oh, yeah. If I get down here, it's fine. So, this is clearly one of

43
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:19,599
those ones that's designed to be mounted above your fireplace because you have no taste. Wow. This is super basic. So,

44
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,000
like that's really cheesy. The logo is

45
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:26,400
the uh the bar. Dude, it gets worse. Do the

46
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:28,239
volume. It moves. You're not getting any

47
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,000
points for cuteness, guys. Is the default setting for motion compensation

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,440
off? I didn't mess with that. So, yeah. Okay. Well, that's that's good, I guess.

49
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,560
And apparently it has HDR, but I don't

50
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,799
really understand what HDR middle, low,

51
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:47,440
and high means. I happen to know that the uh peak brightness on this thing is

52
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,120
around 250 nits. Okay. So, it's not HDR no matter what

53
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,720
happens. But we can try cuz we have an Xbox here with some HDR games. Okay, cool. Another tell for cheaper TVs in

54
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,120
general is poor scaling when you throw an off resolution at it. So, even though

55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,519
you're not necessarily going to get uh, you know, pixel perfect scaling, you

56
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:11,200
know, four 4K pixels to one 1080p output, this is extremely ugly. I'm

57
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:17,680
still pretty sure that they are playing some pretty funky games with the uh with

58
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,320
the color here. Also, wow, those pixel

59
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:26,800
response times suck. Even just watching the text pop up in this menu is gross.

60
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,000
You know, I got to say the backlights of cheap TVs have gotten a lot better over

61
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,919
the last little bit. Like, I don't notice any hot spots in the corners or

62
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,120
anything like that. Even when you've got black bars. And Brandon, does it seem

63
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,600
like there's a bunch of like oversharpening going on? That's that's

64
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,759
really gross. Like, that's not even, you know, having a low-end processor and not

65
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,040
doing enough processing on the image. That's doing bad processing on the

66
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,600
image, and that's something that I can't condone. Picture settings. Ah, here we

67
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,080
go. Sharpness. Okay, now it's a little

68
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,960
soft. That smearing is still nasty, but

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:05,919
look at his hair now. So much better. To its credit, HDR does seem to be working,

70
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,039
but this is not a great HDR experience. So, you know, where you have these

71
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:13,919
reflections off the armor or anything like that, it doesn't it doesn't look

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,199
great. Um, you know, same thing here,

73
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:19,840
but at least it's interpreting the data.

74
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:24,720
Now, the smeariness still looks gross, but the foliage is no longer being

75
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,800
completely destroyed by that sharpening filter that they were applying out of

76
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,600
the box. So, 30, maybe 35 seems to be a better bet. As far as color accuracy

77
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,600
goes, I don't see anything that, you know, really draws me out of watching

78
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:45,039
the movie or anything like that, but I would say that the gamut, there's no way

79
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:47,360
it's very good. 93% of sRGB. Yeah. Okay.

80
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:53,360
So, that's then hot garbage. and not accurate at all. So, we're way off on

81
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,280
magenta, blue, cyan, basically basically

82
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,639
everything except the yellows. And I'm actually kind of surprised because

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,600
usually with the monitors that we've seen on the very low end, Septer kind of

84
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,639
punches above the price tag, but with like the cheapest 4K and the cheapest

85
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:11,199
144 hertz monitors that we've looked at, they've been cheap and you get what you

86
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:15,440
pay for, but they're not bad. I there's no way. I mean, I'm not this is not my

87
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:20,639
final answer, but I'm fairly sure that this is that just based on brand name,

88
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:26,560
I'm guessing that TCL is going to come in pretty cheap. It's also really small,

89
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,960
so I'm thinking this is like a a pretty

90
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,560
budget TV, but obviously with better features. I can see TCL is taking

91
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:36,479
advantage of that Roku partnership, and they've got an integrated Roku, so not

92
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,680
just a smart TV, but a pretty featurerich one. Build quality-wise,

93
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:46,880
nothing really stands out here. It's about the same thickness, about the same, you know, robustness feeling. Has

94
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:51,199
an Ethernet jack, obviously. Three HDMI ports, including audio return channel.

95
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Yeah. But what I really want to see is the menu. How snappy is it? So much

96
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,840
snappier. Picture settings. Let's have a look at what their defaults are. So, it

97
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,520
defaults to brighter, which is perfect actually for the room we're in right

98
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:08,960
now. Yes, you get HDR notification. So, it formally says, "Yes, we support HDR,

99
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:14,240
but at what peak brightness?" I don't have a spec for the TCL. Bad

100
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:19,759
sign. That's it. TV picture settings. Like, where's the sharpness and like

101
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:24,800
tint and stuff? We figured out the menu issue. You've got to select an

102
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,240
input in order to actually change these

103
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:32,160
settings. So, you use the asterisk button, then you can get into it. And

104
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:33,919
then if we go into picture settings,

105
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:40,560
okay, movie. Oh, we can actually see what it's changing. So movie, it turns

106
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:45,360
down your sharpness and your color and sets it to warm. I wouldn't necessarily

107
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:51,280
prefer that. However, if you look at our color checker report, yeah, look at

108
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,440
this. Oh wow, movie is like bang on.

109
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,360
This is like almost professional grade. Like you could edit photos on this

110
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:02,560
casually. Okay, I guess I will put it in movie mode. That totally smashed all

111
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:07,120
these other TVs, huh? That's really impressive. So, this is pretty annoying.

112
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:13,120
The Xbox is picking up HDR10 video support now, but only after we went into

113
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:18,800
this settings menu, not the other settings menu. Went to TV inputs, went

114
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:23,840
to HDMI 1, and manually changed the mode to HDMI 2.0. It was on auto before, and

115
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:27,759
we had power cycled the Xbox. There's no excuse for it not picking that up, but

116
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,599
it wasn't. I'm hoping for better this time. I can already tell from this

117
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,240
loading circle that the pixel response time is better, let alone from the

118
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,519
actual movie. Not bad black level. Yep, it's nice and dark. What panel

119
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,440
technology do you think it is? Hard to say. I lied. I have a guess. I'm

120
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,360
guessing that it's an IPS like because I'm getting a fair bit of glow offaxis.

121
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:52,320
Uh, actually, I think that they're all VA except for one. Oh, all right. Well,

122
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:57,200
the LG would not be VA. So, now we know. Now, immediately upon loading up our

123
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:01,959
movie, this is noticeably noticeably better HDR. So, the bright points like

124
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:06,240
the flames, uh, the reflections off skin, they stand out far more than they

125
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:12,600
did on the other one. But with that said, this is clearly not,000nit or even

126
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,760
800 nit peak brightness. Like, it's very mediocre HDR. There's no local

127
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:23,560
dimming or anything like that. Some people complained of a really plasticky

128
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:26,640
smell. Oh, wow. Oh, it does

129
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,000
smell. I feel ridiculous. Look at your

130
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,440
life and consider all the decisions you've made that I brought you to this.

131
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:35,920
This one smells a little too, but not nearly like this one. It's got like kind

132
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,040
of almost a burning plasticky smell. I mean, I don't think that it's

133
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:42,720
necessarily overheating or anything like that, but it does smell. Now, here's one

134
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:46,560
weird thing that doesn't apply to this, but potentially applies to the 43in

135
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,200
version. We can't test this ourselves, but there is a Amazon review that says

136
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:55,519
that the 43inch version of this TV, the vase amount uses a non-standard

137
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,800
threading on it. Oh, so it'd be really hard to find a mount for it then. That's

138
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,440
right. It's M6 instead of M4. So, you're just screwed. This is sweet. The Xbox

139
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:08,560
just prompted me to enable the advanced feature auto low latency mode. That's

140
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:13,760
fantastic. Hey, do we have the um the latency tester doodad? Oh, yeah. This,

141
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:19,600
my friends, is a time sleuth. Hey, that ain't bad. 24 milliseconds in game mode.

142
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:23,880
Are we even in game mode? Oh, wow. That's with it off. It went from very

143
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:29,920
good to a little bit better than very good. 23 milliseconds. Just just shy of

144
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,880
24. Very nice. If I had to assign my

145
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,480
price tag based on what I think it's worth, I would probably go higher. But

146
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:41,519
if I have to assign based on what I think it costs, just knowing that TCL is

147
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:46,480
a more budget brand, I'm going to say $279. So, given the TVs we've looked at

148
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,800
so far and the price points that you've assigned them, this is absolutely worth

149
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,720
the extra 50 bucks. Like, by a landslide, the just the fact that

150
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:59,600
there's a Roku included is already a $50 adder. On top of that, it's just a way

151
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:04,240
better TV that's bigger. I get it, but bigger is not always better. I would

152
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:10,880
suggest scooching your buttocks approximately 18 in closer and buying

153
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,200
that instead. Uh, IO is pretty similar.

154
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:17,680
You know, three HDMIs again. You've got a couple USBs this time. Composite

155
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:22,240
component. Looks pretty bog standard to me, but the higher degree of polish with

156
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,360
the software, especially compared to someone like Scepter is definitely

157
00:11:24,079 --> 00:11:29,760
immediately apparent. We plugged in an Xbox. It's like, hey, I just detected an

158
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Xbox. Once we're connected, we've got support for everything except Dolby

159
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:38,800
Vision. So, HDR is there. Video modes. It allows auto low latency mode, which

160
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,160
is pretty sweet. And as far as the look of the image goes, it immediately picked

161
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,839
up that we've got HDR content incoming. Shoot, they've got their stupid

162
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:51,279
smoothing on by default. Let's go ahead and poke around in the menu a little bit

163
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:56,320
here. Is the settings button really this tiny one down here? Autootion plus

164
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,800
settings. Auto should be off. Digital clean view. No reason not to crank the

165
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:05,519
backlight. While there's no obvious image quality issues like the

166
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,800
oversharpening of the scepter, I will

167
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:11,680
say that this TV is not doing a

168
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:16,360
fantastic job of retaining detail in the low lightss. I mean, that's something

169
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,560
that is really noticeable on poor HDR

170
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,639
implementations. If I had to guess, I'd say the peak brightness of this one is

171
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:26,480
actually even lower than the TCL that I just looked at. Yeah, it looks it looks

172
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:33,920
a little bit overcooked on the red and maybe the yellow as well. Actually looks like the red is one of the more accurate

173
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,000
colors. Really? Yellow is bad. Okay. And

174
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:42,800
as far as brightness goes, it's about 275 to 300 peak brightness. So

175
00:12:39,079 --> 00:12:44,240
noticeably HDR. Yeah. Yep. Oh, for

176
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:49,680
crying out loud. I just switched it over to movie mode. Oh, yeah. When you change

177
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:52,560
inputs, it Yep. It just discards your

178
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:57,920
stuff. No, I I never ever ever want this ever. It advertises Bluetooth

179
00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:00,639
connectivity, but that's only for audio.

180
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:05,360
You cannot attach your phone or controller or a mouse via Bluetooth,

181
00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:09,200
right? And so even though the like the copy promotional copy for it advertises

182
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:13,920
things like screen mirroring from your phone, you can't. There's actually just

183
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:19,600
no menu for like selecting devices. Time to sleuth 80 milliseconds. There's no

184
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,200
game picture mode. Scroll down. Nope. I think this is one of those ones where

185
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:28,399
you have to like trick it. What do you mean? You just have to manually select a

186
00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:32,480
particular type of input device in order for it to go into low latency mode. So,

187
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:40,800
you can see even game console, I'm looking at 77 milliseconds here. But if

188
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:42,720
I go to home edit and I change it to PC,

189
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,639
oh well, you know, PC people, they're far more discerning. Here's 11

190
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:51,920
milliseconds of input lag. Why don't console gamers get to

191
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:57,839
have 11 milliseconds of input lag? sounds. I mean, it's very impressive. It's really nice for like a budget TV.

192
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:02,399
Like, great, but do it all the time. So, in conclusion, honestly, looks pretty

193
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:07,600
good. Yeah, the color accuracy wasn't fantastic, but I didn't notice any

194
00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:12,320
immediately obvious gamut or color accuracy deficiencies, at least to my

195
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,680
eye. And my main complaint here is that I'm

196
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:21,120
assuming it's just too expensive compared to the TCL. And that I really

197
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:26,320
wish that TV manufacturers were not labeling stuff like this HDR because I

198
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:29,760
think it's ruining the the brand of HDR for people who look at this and go, "Oh,

199
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,320
well, it's just too dark. I can't see anything." I'm going to put this one here for now. I haven't actually

200
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:38,839
commented on the speakers from the previous ones, but I will say that the

201
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:45,440
Samsung is not great. Um, neither was the TCL,

202
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,040
though. The Scepter is just noticeably worse than the other two at this point.

203
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:54,320
You know, I wouldn't have thought it possible, but LG's nasty smoothing might

204
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,720
be even nastier than Samsung's. It's actually a little chunkier than the

205
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:02,720
Samsung, a little thicker. Actually has nearly identical IO to the Samsung.

206
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Nothing about it stands out. Now, how do you feel about the fact that you don't

207
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:09,760
have a magic remote? I like the magic remote, but I also don't think it's a

208
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,360
huge deal because I had originally requested LG to send us a 49UM 7300,

209
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:20,720
whereas this is a 6T900. And the difference being it's a budget focused

210
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:26,160
holiday model that doesn't have a magic remote. But how much is it saving me? I

211
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:29,680
think 50 bucks. I wouldn't pay $400 for this with a better remote. There's no

212
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,440
way. LG's menu does have its own idiosyncrasies, but because I'm familiar

213
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:39,120
with them, I know how to turn on instant game response. You have to turn HDMI HD

214
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,680
deep color on. True motion. Yes, please

215
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,079
go away. Maybe it's like normies don't notice and sports people notice and like

216
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:49,680
it. That's basically it. I was at the in-laws over the holiday and they didn't

217
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:52,000
even know their TV had it on. I was like, it was driving me crazy. I turned

218
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:57,440
it off when they weren't looking. As soon as someone goes to the bathroom, I'm like, I do that every time I'm in a

219
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:02,959
new person's house. Yep. Oh, smoothing's on again. Yep. So, we made all those

220
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:05,440
changes based on the ISF expert mode,

221
00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:10,880
but now we have to go into the HDR version and we have to go make the

222
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:14,560
changes again. Just like the Samsung. So

223
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,959
annoying. True motion. Go yourself.

224
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:22,000
Thank you. Optimize displays for movie. No. Am I wrong to just turn everything I

225
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:26,320
can off? Not necessarily. There's some stuff that I tend to leave on like low.

226
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:30,399
Like a little bit of noise reduction is okay. Okay, I've got this dialed in the

227
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:34,800
way I like it and immediately noticeable reflections off Toothless right here. Uh

228
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,480
the clouds we were looking at just now. Reflections off the armor. I guarantee

229
00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:44,240
you the peak brightness of this is higher than anything else that we've looked at already. Boom. You're right.

230
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,519
It's close to 400. You look at the saturation of the greens. You look at

231
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:53,519
how, you know, just kind of vibrant it looks without being

232
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:59,199
overcooked. I can tell you guys right now the color gamut is going to be very

233
00:16:55,839 --> 00:17:01,360
competitive over 99%. Okay. Bing bing.

234
00:16:59,199 --> 00:17:06,000
As for the accuracy, I mean, it's hard to say once you get within delta ease of

235
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:10,079
honestly for me, like watching a movie that I'm not, you know, looking at a

236
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,280
reference display right next to it, you know, within like 8 or 10, I'm not

237
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:21,240
really going to notice, but I would suspect it's pretty decent. Right. Again, 94. That's uh disgusting. Now,

238
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:28,079
let's figure out our low latency nonsense. Oh

239
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,919
no, it might rely on the actual input

240
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:34,480
telling it, hey, I need to be low latency. Oh. Oh. Oh, wait, wait. Nope.

241
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:39,400
LG has a game picture mode. That might do

242
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,400
it. This stuff should just be so much

243
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,960
simpler. There it is. Boom. 12

244
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:49,919
milliseconds. Freaking fantastic. I love that TVs don't have crappy input lag,

245
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,799
but I hate how it's different methodology for enabling it on

246
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,280
everything. I actually want to change my

247
00:17:54,799 --> 00:18:01,160
price guess um based on what I saw in terms of the

248
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:06,880
performance of this display. And I'm going to say that I

249
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,000
think that this one is more expensive. I

250
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:14,240
wouldn't say it's full array local dimming good. Like it's not OLED good anyway, but it is so much better than

251
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:19,360
anything else we saw that I'm a lot more comfortable calling it HDR even in the

252
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:24,240
first place. So, if I had to say which one is worth the most, definitely this

253
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:28,280
one. If I had to say which one's the best bang for the buck, I'm going with

254
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:33,840
this one. Um, and Samsung, assuming that it's at

255
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:40,960
this price point, ends up sort of in no man's land where for an extra 30 bucks,

256
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:45,360
I easily take that one. And Scepter,

257
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,600
even at $50 less, is just I I wouldn't I

258
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:50,799
wouldn't go this route. So, I guess it's time for the reveal then. Hey. Okay,

259
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,880
smart guys. This your final answer. You're locked in. No phone of friends.

260
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,799
this. It's so much better that I feel like it's got to be more expensive than

261
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:03,760
this. But this is so much bigger that I almost feel like this could be the

262
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:05,200
$219.99 one. And those ones, like it

263
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:12,480
wouldn't surprise me if the Samsung's more expensive, even though it's a much worse TV. Go with your gut. I've got two

264
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,799
50/50s here. I'm going to price them

265
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,919
based on the quality of the experience that I had.

266
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:23,559
So, I'm going to hope for the best. It's 220, isn't it?

267
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:30,080
Yes. One for one. He's got one so far.

268
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,840
Taste that cereal. Four out of four. Why

269
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:37,919
do I have to get four out of four? Because I want to see you eat durian.

270
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Cuz Ivonne said you hate it.

271
00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:44,400
Okay. I was pretty I mean, there was no way either of these was going to be 220

272
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:49,880
bucks. Do I get to rip this one off? So, if this one's

273
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:54,280
correct, then you win.

274
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:58,919
Yeah. It's worth it. Hol box of

275
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:02,760
cereal with no milk. Eat it

276
00:19:58,919 --> 00:20:04,919
dry. It's still delicious, isn't

277
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:11,200
it? It's like ASMR. I have no saliva even cuz I've

278
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:11,200
been talking all day. Oh, that's

279
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:19,440
rough. I need some water. ltstore.com. So, the video today is

280
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:23,679
brought to you guys by drop.com. The control keyboard is one of their top

281
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,159
selling items ever with over 10,000 sold, and no wonder. With its solid CNC

282
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:32,640
aluminum frame, built-in switch plate, RGB lighting, QMK firmware for easy

283
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,600
customizability, and hot swappable key switches, it is an absolute fan

284
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:40,799
favorite. You can load it up with CherryMX, Kya, or Halo switches. It's

285
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:45,600
got dual USB connectors, and it weighs a hefty

286
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:47,440
964 gram. You could probably, you know,

287
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,799
hit a baseball with it if you really wanted to. Not that I'm recommending

288
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,240
that. I'm recommending going and getting yours today at the link in the video

289
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:57,840
description. So, thanks for watching, guys. If you enjoy these kinds of budget

290
00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:02,559
display roundups, you might also like the recent high refresh rate budget

291
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:07,600
gaming monitor video that we made where uh Scepter fared a lot better than they

292
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:11,840
did today. This honestly isn't even worth the

293
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:15,280
$220. I would definitely go there. And

294
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,280
this this disappointed
