WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:12.880
be checking out the latest like $5,000 BFGD or, you know, $5,000 OLED displays,

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:18.320
but that's not what most people are actually buying. So, James

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:22.760
here went online and got some of the most popular displays or TVs that you

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.840
can get that are 4K under $400. Let me try that. Let's try that

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.199
one more time. All 4K under $400.

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.239
Anywhere from around 50 in to I think

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:36.079
from 49 to 55. Sweet. So, we're going to

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:41.120
let you guys know which ones are the best in terms of the color reproduction,

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:44.960
viewing angles, interface, and features, and we're going to do it all in the next

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

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,

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.920
each one of these TVs, do not touch that. has a concealed message in front

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:02.320
of it corresponding to one of these prices. Oh, so I have to decide which

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

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

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:16.880
bucks. I'm looking forward to this. But that's not all. There's stakes. Sorry,

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.

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.080
Cranberry Almond Crunch. Okay. I like cranberry almond crunch. And you have to

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.320
agree to this. Agree. Agree right now. Okay. Sure. Anything to make the content

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:36.159
better. If you don't get them all right, you have to

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.360
endure a nice big bite of durian. I knew

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.

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.

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

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:02.159
spit. But all right, let's get started. The

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.719
first thing that stands out to me, not just about the scepter here, but about

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.360
all of these displays is how couple of generations ago looking the bezels are.

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:15.040
Not just in their thickness, cuz they're I mean, they're reasonably thin. How

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

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:25.680
actual panel itself. Like having them flush against the glass has become a

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:32.160
trend over the last couple of years. The other thing is that they are all using

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:33.920
this twoft style of stand. And it never

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

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:42.879
cheaper to have the weight like all the mass of the TV sitting on top of

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.319
something instead of having to build a skeleton on the inside that goes up the

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:51.040
middle and is strong enough to be supported by just one point. Like the

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?

00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.800
It doesn't have a network jack. There's no home button on the remote because

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:03.760
there's no dashboard because it's not a smart TV. This is super unresponsive,

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.440
too. What the hell? I think part of it is the receiver, like just getting the

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

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,

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:22.000
like that's really cheesy. The logo is

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:26.400
the uh the bar. Dude, it gets worse. Do the

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.239
volume. It moves. You're not getting any

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:32.000
points for cuteness, guys. Is the default setting for motion compensation

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.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:40.560
And apparently it has HDR, but I don't

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:42.799
really understand what HDR middle, low,

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:47.440
and high means. I happen to know that the uh peak brightness on this thing is

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.120
around 250 nits. Okay. So, it's not HDR no matter what

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

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.120
general is poor scaling when you throw an off resolution at it. So, even though

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.519
you're not necessarily going to get uh, you know, pixel perfect scaling, you

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:11.200
know, four 4K pixels to one 1080p output, this is extremely ugly. I'm

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:17.680
still pretty sure that they are playing some pretty funky games with the uh with

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.320
the color here. Also, wow, those pixel

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:26.800
response times suck. Even just watching the text pop up in this menu is gross.

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

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.919
the last little bit. Like, I don't notice any hot spots in the corners or

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.120
anything like that. Even when you've got black bars. And Brandon, does it seem

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:41.600
like there's a bunch of like oversharpening going on? That's that's

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:45.759
really gross. Like, that's not even, you know, having a low-end processor and not

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.040
doing enough processing on the image. That's doing bad processing on the

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.600
image, and that's something that I can't condone. Picture settings. Ah, here we

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:58.080
go. Sharpness. Okay, now it's a little

00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:00.960
soft. That smearing is still nasty, but

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,

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.039
but this is not a great HDR experience. So, you know, where you have these

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:13.919
reflections off the armor or anything like that, it doesn't it doesn't look

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.199
great. Um, you know, same thing here,

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:19.840
but at least it's interpreting the data.

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:24.720
Now, the smeariness still looks gross, but the foliage is no longer being

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.800
completely destroyed by that sharpening filter that they were applying out of

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

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:37.600
goes, I don't see anything that, you know, really draws me out of watching

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

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.360
it's very good. 93% of sRGB. Yeah. Okay.

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

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.280
magenta, blue, cyan, basically basically

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.639
everything except the yellows. And I'm actually kind of surprised because

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:03.600
usually with the monitors that we've seen on the very low end, Septer kind of

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:06.639
punches above the price tag, but with like the cheapest 4K and the cheapest

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

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

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:20.639
final answer, but I'm fairly sure that this is that just based on brand name,

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,

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:28.960
so I'm thinking this is like a a pretty

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.560
budget TV, but obviously with better features. I can see TCL is taking

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.479
advantage of that Roku partnership, and they've got an integrated Roku, so not

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.680
just a smart TV, but a pretty featurerich one. Build quality-wise,

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

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:51.199
an Ethernet jack, obviously. Three HDMI ports, including audio return channel.

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

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:59.840
snappier. Picture settings. Let's have a look at what their defaults are. So, it

00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:03.520
defaults to brighter, which is perfect actually for the room we're in right

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:08.960
now. Yes, you get HDR notification. So, it formally says, "Yes, we support HDR,

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:14.240
but at what peak brightness?" I don't have a spec for the TCL. Bad

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:19.759
sign. That's it. TV picture settings. Like, where's the sharpness and like

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:24.800
tint and stuff? We figured out the menu issue. You've got to select an

00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.240
input in order to actually change these

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:32.160
settings. So, you use the asterisk button, then you can get into it. And

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.919
then if we go into picture settings,

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:40.560
okay, movie. Oh, we can actually see what it's changing. So movie, it turns

00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:45.360
down your sharpness and your color and sets it to warm. I wouldn't necessarily

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:51.280
prefer that. However, if you look at our color checker report, yeah, look at

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:53.440
this. Oh wow, movie is like bang on.

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:57.360
This is like almost professional grade. Like you could edit photos on this

00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:02.560
casually. Okay, I guess I will put it in movie mode. That totally smashed all

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:07.120
these other TVs, huh? That's really impressive. So, this is pretty annoying.

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:13.120
The Xbox is picking up HDR10 video support now, but only after we went into

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:18.800
this settings menu, not the other settings menu. Went to TV inputs, went

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

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

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:31.599
it wasn't. I'm hoping for better this time. I can already tell from this

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:36.240
loading circle that the pixel response time is better, let alone from the

00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:39.519
actual movie. Not bad black level. Yep, it's nice and dark. What panel

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

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.

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:52.320
Uh, actually, I think that they're all VA except for one. Oh, all right. Well,

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.200
the LG would not be VA. So, now we know. Now, immediately upon loading up our

00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:01.959
movie, this is noticeably noticeably better HDR. So, the bright points like

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:06.240
the flames, uh, the reflections off skin, they stand out far more than they

00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:12.600
did on the other one. But with that said, this is clearly not,000nit or even

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:17.760
800 nit peak brightness. Like, it's very mediocre HDR. There's no local

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:23.560
dimming or anything like that. Some people complained of a really plasticky

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:26.640
smell. Oh, wow. Oh, it does

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:28.000
smell. I feel ridiculous. Look at your

00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:31.440
life and consider all the decisions you've made that I brought you to this.

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

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.040
of almost a burning plasticky smell. I mean, I don't think that it's

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.720
necessarily overheating or anything like that, but it does smell. Now, here's one

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:46.560
weird thing that doesn't apply to this, but potentially applies to the 43in

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:51.200
version. We can't test this ourselves, but there is a Amazon review that says

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:55.519
that the 43inch version of this TV, the vase amount uses a non-standard

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

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

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:08.560
just prompted me to enable the advanced feature auto low latency mode. That's

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:13.760
fantastic. Hey, do we have the um the latency tester doodad? Oh, yeah. This,

00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:19.600
my friends, is a time sleuth. Hey, that ain't bad. 24 milliseconds in game mode.

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

00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:29.920
good to a little bit better than very good. 23 milliseconds. Just just shy of

00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:31.880
24. Very nice. If I had to assign my

00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:36.480
price tag based on what I think it's worth, I would probably go higher. But

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

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

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:50.800
so far and the price points that you've assigned them, this is absolutely worth

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.720
the extra 50 bucks. Like, by a landslide, the just the fact that

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

00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:04.240
better TV that's bigger. I get it, but bigger is not always better. I would

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:10.880
suggest scooching your buttocks approximately 18 in closer and buying

00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:13.200
that instead. Uh, IO is pretty similar.

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:17.680
You know, three HDMIs again. You've got a couple USBs this time. Composite

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:22.240
component. Looks pretty bog standard to me, but the higher degree of polish with

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:25.360
the software, especially compared to someone like Scepter is definitely

00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:29.760
immediately apparent. We plugged in an Xbox. It's like, hey, I just detected an

00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:34.800
Xbox. Once we're connected, we've got support for everything except Dolby

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:38.800
Vision. So, HDR is there. Video modes. It allows auto low latency mode, which

00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:44.160
is pretty sweet. And as far as the look of the image goes, it immediately picked

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:47.839
up that we've got HDR content incoming. Shoot, they've got their stupid

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

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:56.320
here. Is the settings button really this tiny one down here? Autootion plus

00:11:53.680 --> 00:12:00.800
settings. Auto should be off. Digital clean view. No reason not to crank the

00:11:58.959 --> 00:12:05.519
backlight. While there's no obvious image quality issues like the

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:08.800
oversharpening of the scepter, I will

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:11.680
say that this TV is not doing a

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:16.360
fantastic job of retaining detail in the low lightss. I mean, that's something

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:18.560
that is really noticeable on poor HDR

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.639
implementations. If I had to guess, I'd say the peak brightness of this one is

00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:26.480
actually even lower than the TCL that I just looked at. Yeah, it looks it looks

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

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:36.000
colors. Really? Yellow is bad. Okay. And

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:42.800
as far as brightness goes, it's about 275 to 300 peak brightness. So

00:12:39.079 --> 00:12:44.240
noticeably HDR. Yeah. Yep. Oh, for

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:49.680
crying out loud. I just switched it over to movie mode. Oh, yeah. When you change

00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:52.560
inputs, it Yep. It just discards your

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:57.920
stuff. No, I I never ever ever want this ever. It advertises Bluetooth

00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:00.639
connectivity, but that's only for audio.

00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:05.360
You cannot attach your phone or controller or a mouse via Bluetooth,

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:09.200
right? And so even though the like the copy promotional copy for it advertises

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:13.920
things like screen mirroring from your phone, you can't. There's actually just

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:19.600
no menu for like selecting devices. Time to sleuth 80 milliseconds. There's no

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:23.200
game picture mode. Scroll down. Nope. I think this is one of those ones where

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

00:13:26.079 --> 00:13:32.480
particular type of input device in order for it to go into low latency mode. So,

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:40.800
you can see even game console, I'm looking at 77 milliseconds here. But if

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:42.720
I go to home edit and I change it to PC,

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:47.639
oh well, you know, PC people, they're far more discerning. Here's 11

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:51.920
milliseconds of input lag. Why don't console gamers get to

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.

00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:02.399
Like, great, but do it all the time. So, in conclusion, honestly, looks pretty

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:07.600
good. Yeah, the color accuracy wasn't fantastic, but I didn't notice any

00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:12.320
immediately obvious gamut or color accuracy deficiencies, at least to my

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.680
eye. And my main complaint here is that I'm

00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:21.120
assuming it's just too expensive compared to the TCL. And that I really

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:26.320
wish that TV manufacturers were not labeling stuff like this HDR because I

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,

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

00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:38.839
commented on the speakers from the previous ones, but I will say that the

00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:45.440
Samsung is not great. Um, neither was the TCL,

00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:49.040
though. The Scepter is just noticeably worse than the other two at this point.

00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:54.320
You know, I wouldn't have thought it possible, but LG's nasty smoothing might

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.720
be even nastier than Samsung's. It's actually a little chunkier than the

00:14:56.560 --> 00:15:02.720
Samsung, a little thicker. Actually has nearly identical IO to the Samsung.

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

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

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:15.360
huge deal because I had originally requested LG to send us a 49UM 7300,

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:20.720
whereas this is a 6T900. And the difference being it's a budget focused

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

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

00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:33.440
way. LG's menu does have its own idiosyncrasies, but because I'm familiar

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

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:41.680
deep color on. True motion. Yes, please

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:46.079
go away. Maybe it's like normies don't notice and sports people notice and like

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

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

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

00:15:55.199 --> 00:16:02.959
new person's house. Yep. Oh, smoothing's on again. Yep. So, we made all those

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:05.440
changes based on the ISF expert mode,

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

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:14.560
changes again. Just like the Samsung. So

00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:16.959
annoying. True motion. Go yourself.

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:22.000
Thank you. Optimize displays for movie. No. Am I wrong to just turn everything I

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.320
can off? Not necessarily. There's some stuff that I tend to leave on like low.

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

00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:34.800
way I like it and immediately noticeable reflections off Toothless right here. Uh

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.480
the clouds we were looking at just now. Reflections off the armor. I guarantee

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.

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:49.519
It's close to 400. You look at the saturation of the greens. You look at

00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:53.519
how, you know, just kind of vibrant it looks without being

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:59.199
overcooked. I can tell you guys right now the color gamut is going to be very

00:16:55.839 --> 00:17:01.360
competitive over 99%. Okay. Bing bing.

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

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:10.079
honestly for me, like watching a movie that I'm not, you know, looking at a

00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:13.280
reference display right next to it, you know, within like 8 or 10, I'm not

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,

00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:28.079
let's figure out our low latency nonsense. Oh

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:29.919
no, it might rely on the actual input

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:34.480
telling it, hey, I need to be low latency. Oh. Oh. Oh, wait, wait. Nope.

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:39.400
LG has a game picture mode. That might do

00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:42.400
it. This stuff should just be so much

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:44.960
simpler. There it is. Boom. 12

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:49.919
milliseconds. Freaking fantastic. I love that TVs don't have crappy input lag,

00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:54.799
but I hate how it's different methodology for enabling it on

00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:57.280
everything. I actually want to change my

00:17:54.799 --> 00:18:01.160
price guess um based on what I saw in terms of the

00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:06.880
performance of this display. And I'm going to say that I

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.000
think that this one is more expensive. I

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

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

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:24.240
first place. So, if I had to say which one is worth the most, definitely this

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

00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:33.840
this one. Um, and Samsung, assuming that it's at

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,

00:18:37.760 --> 00:18:45.360
I easily take that one. And Scepter,

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:47.600
even at $50 less, is just I I wouldn't I

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,

00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:54.880
smart guys. This your final answer. You're locked in. No phone of friends.

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

00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:03.760
this. But this is so much bigger that I almost feel like this could be the

00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:05.200
$219.99 one. And those ones, like it

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

00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:14.799
50/50s here. I'm going to price them

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:18.919
based on the quality of the experience that I had.

00:19:16.520 --> 00:19:23.559
So, I'm going to hope for the best. It's 220, isn't it?

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:30.080
Yes. One for one. He's got one so far.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.840
Taste that cereal. Four out of four. Why

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.

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:39.840
Cuz Ivonne said you hate it.

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

00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:49.880
bucks. Do I get to rip this one off? So, if this one's

00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:54.280
correct, then you win.

00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:58.919
Yeah. It's worth it. Hol box of

00:19:54.280 --> 00:20:02.760
cereal with no milk. Eat it

00:19:58.919 --> 00:20:04.919
dry. It's still delicious, isn't

00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:11.200
it? It's like ASMR. I have no saliva even cuz I've

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:11.200
been talking all day. Oh, that's

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:19.440
rough. I need some water. ltstore.com. So, the video today is

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:23.679
brought to you guys by drop.com. The control keyboard is one of their top

00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:28.159
selling items ever with over 10,000 sold, and no wonder. With its solid CNC

00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:32.640
aluminum frame, built-in switch plate, RGB lighting, QMK firmware for easy

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:35.600
customizability, and hot swappable key switches, it is an absolute fan

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:40.799
favorite. You can load it up with CherryMX, Kya, or Halo switches. It's

00:20:38.080 --> 00:20:45.600
got dual USB connectors, and it weighs a hefty

00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:47.440
964 gram. You could probably, you know,

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:50.799
hit a baseball with it if you really wanted to. Not that I'm recommending

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.240
that. I'm recommending going and getting yours today at the link in the video

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.840
description. So, thanks for watching, guys. If you enjoy these kinds of budget

00:20:55.919 --> 00:21:02.559
display roundups, you might also like the recent high refresh rate budget

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:07.600
gaming monitor video that we made where uh Scepter fared a lot better than they

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:11.840
did today. This honestly isn't even worth the

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:15.280
$220. I would definitely go there. And

00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:15.280
this this disappointed
