1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,205
In terms of hardware, this has got to be one of the best, most premium,

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:13,360
state-of-the-art TVs you can buy. [music] It's the Sony Bravia 82.

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:17,760
Unfortunately, Sony kind of just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,039
at the last second with the way they've set this up, and we'll talk about that

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:24,560
later with some charts and crap. The good news is you can still get to like

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,400
near perfection if you know what you're doing. But before all that, let's unbox

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:34,079
it and see if it's different than the one that I have at home from a year or

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,440
two ago. Based on this, no, this is a

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:38,640
back panel. It's going to clip on the back and and cover some of the cables

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,480
and crap. And I'm just saying it looks similar to the one I have because it has

11
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,680
this uh checker pattern. What else we got? Uh more of the same but smaller

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,360
strippy version. Feet. I'm a wall mounty

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:57,840
guy, but these are cool cuz they can go at different heights. I'll show you that later. They're metal. Quick start guide.

14
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:01,359
The remotes in here. Whoa. This has got to be recycled plastic or something

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,280
because it's got that speckle pattern that you see, you know, with your

16
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:08,640
recycled shoes. I'd rather it was like titanium or something really premium

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,840
feeling. But I guess if they're going to cheap out, they can make me feel good

18
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,600
about it. This thing actually has some really cool features that I'll tell you

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,119
about later that I never heard of before, even though they're not new to

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,119
this model.

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Wow. Turned out I didn't even need to make my own sound effects.

22
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,640
Yeah. '90s kid.

23
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:41,200
Looks kind of small. Hey, 65 in these days. Some guys have 120in TVs at their

24
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,880
place. I can't compete with that.

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Showing you how the legs go on. Super simple how the two configurations work.

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,360
So, in the low configuration, you're going to be in the top two. And you can see how there will be very low clearance

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,600
between your TV console and the TV itself. Just this much. And in the high

28
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,560
configuration, you're [music] going to have that much space. So, you could

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,960
potentially fit a soundbar under there. For IO, we got a couple USB ports that

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,840
you can plug random stuff into. We got actually the power button here. So, like

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,080
the actual on TV buttons. There's a single button and it's back here, not on

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,440
the bottom or the edge like you normally find. inconvenient, but I guess it's

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,599
there. Then, interestingly, there is a hardware toggle switch for the

34
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:29,360
microphone. The microphone that you would use for, you know, talking to an

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,280
assistant or potentially for calibrating

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,680
the speakers that are on board here. We'll talk about that later. You can

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:40,879
turn on or off, which is actually nice. Digital audio out and then four HDMI

38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:46,800
ports. two of which are 2.1 with the 4K120 and uh one of them has EER. Then

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,920
you've got your LAN port and some, you know, remote ones so that if you want to

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,760
put in an IR sensor, which I actually have in my setup, uh you can do that.

41
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:57,800
And then finally, you got your little uh your boomer knob at the bottom.

42
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,800
All right, finally we can get this thing turned on and uh see what's on TV. Oh,

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:08,159
look, it's our sponsor >> Dbrand. They made me record these

44
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:14,560
talking points last minute. So, as a thank you, I'm going to phone these in a little bit. Black Friday sale, up to 50%

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,879
off sitewide. Not bad stuff. Uh, there's some good stuff. Ghost bundles, grip

46
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:24,319
bundles, 40% off, $45 off the kill switch kit, free deck of cards, slightly

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,800
less overpriced stickers. Description link something. Go click.

48
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:33,440
>> They're asking you, is it on a table or is it on the wall? And the TV speaker

49
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,280
sound will be optimized based on the position of the TV. So, what I am

50
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,400
assuming is that they're assuming if you put it on a wall, your TV is going to be

51
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,159
closer to the wall, really hugged up next to it. So, that's going to be a

52
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,720
different kind of sound profile than if it were on a stand, presumably farther.

53
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,840
However, you actually might want to choose wall mount if it's on a stand

54
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,760
really close to the wall. And you might want to choose tabletop stand if you've

55
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,480
wall mounted it, but your wall mount sticks out far from the wall like mine

56
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,319
does. [music] At least our current situation is clear. That's that that's on the table. A note about the TV's

57
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,640
onboard speakers for a second. This is the type of TV where [music] the

58
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,200
speakers is actually the whole screen glass vibrating like this with two

59
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:20,160
actuators. In addition to that, it has two 10 watt subwoofers. Uh, and one

60
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,400
thing that's cool is you can actually do like a room correction calibration

61
00:04:22,657 --> 00:04:29,120
[music] during the onboard setup right here, which is going to use the microphone in the TV and maybe even the

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,280
microphone in the remote so it knows where my main listening position is.

63
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Let's see. Hold your TV remote at chest level and point it towards the TV.

64
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,400
She done. What is this? You consent to

65
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,720
Samba TV collecting and processing viewership information from this TV. Why

66
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:49,680
would I choose? Why would I accept that? What do [music] I get? You know, from

67
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,720
the kindness of my heart, you know, here's my data. Go make money. No, man.

68
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Save and exit. There is an app you can download where you can change the TV

69
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,840
settings and you can [music] use it as your remote in case you lose this in the

70
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,759
couch cracks, which happens [music] on my couch all the time. But not looking

71
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,639
at it right now because I don't want to connect my Google account to it because then I'll be talking to my Google Home

72
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,759
at my actual house and it'll think I'm talking about a TV that I don't actually

73
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,560
own anymore. And there's a feature to find your remote and make it beep, which

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:25,120
is critical. [laughter] I'm not speaking from experience, I promise. How about

75
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:34,479
some content? Look at this thing. It's a 4K. This is the 65 in HDR Dolby Vision

76
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,080
uh QD OLED. And it looks fantastic. It

77
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:42,639
is so sparkly, so bright, so vivid and

78
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,479
black and I I just I can't even talk straight cuz I'm watching it. It's so

79
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,080
good to watch. Talking about brightness, there are brighter TVs on the market,

80
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:55,840
but we tested the brightness here, and it's plenty bright, up to 2600 nits in

81
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,320
HDR on the vivid mode, which I personally wouldn't use, but it's still

82
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:07,039
around 2,000 nits on more professional modes. In SDR, it drops dramatically

83
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,440
down to, you know, around 800 nits. So,

84
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:15,759
if you're watching, you know, TV like Friends in a really bright sunbathed

85
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,319
room might not cut the mustard for you.

86
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:22,960
Your mileage may vary. Looking at how saturated and bright that is. My first

87
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:26,800
question is what mode are we in? Now, when it comes to the modes, the first

88
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,960
interesting thing is that weirdly they like there's modes that are

89
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:36,639
nested in modes. So, for example, we're in the video/ images content type right

90
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,360
now. In addition to that, they have game and they have PC. And so within each of

91
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,840
those content type buckets, there are different modes. In the PC bucket,

92
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,600
there's one mode. In the game bucket, there's two modes. Like each of them has

93
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:54,960
a standard one. And then there's of course the picture and images bucket,

94
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,800
which has many modes. And we are currently in the standard. Just feel

95
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:04,319
like they could have been like a normal TV had one bucket, but okay, whatever.

96
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:08,240
for each of those buckets, they all have a standard one. So, if you make tweaks

97
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:13,360
to the standard mode, you actually have to make those tweaks in each bucket.

98
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:17,360
Not to mention, okay, there's also different inputs. And on newer TVs, when

99
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:20,560
you tweak the settings of whatever mode, they're usually particular to a to that

100
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,759
input. So, if you go to another input, you'd have to change it there, too. Although, on this TV, you can check a

101
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,479
box to apply to all inputs, which actually is really nice to have that

102
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:31,599
flexibility. So, we're in the video and images bucket. And just one quick note,

103
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,000
look at this little toggle. Adjust only for YouTube app. That is kind of sick

104
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:41,039
actually. Uh I like that cuz I have found that on my Bravia only on YouTube

105
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:44,560
I have a desync with the the mouse moving and the sound I hear. If there is

106
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:51,199
a setting to fix that now and I can apply it just to app that would be helpful. All right, here we are finally.

107
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,599
That's a cute bird picture. We are in

108
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,440
standard mode this whole time. >> Hello there. The first time we uploaded

109
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,199
this video, we got a lot of feedback about our testing methodologies. We

110
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,520
decided to re-upload it with this section to help add some clarity before

111
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:11,199
James gets into the lab testing results in a second here. When we evaluate a TV,

112
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:18,160
we use the industry's longestablished color matching function, the CIE 1931

113
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:22,800
twoderee standard observer. It's dated and not perfect, but it's the reference

114
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:28,400
that the majority of reviewers and as far as we know, calibrators and TV

115
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,959
manufacturers still use today. A newer

116
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,800
model, the CIE 170-2 2015, was created

117
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:39,519
with a variety of goals in mind, including to better reflect how our eyes

118
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:44,320
perceive narrowband light sources like those found in modern OLEDs. But while

119
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:49,279
it offers some theoretical benefits, it hasn't been widely adopted. And

120
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:54,000
depending on who you ask, it may come with undesirable trade-offs of its own.

121
00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:59,200
It's been suggested that Sony may be tuning certain recent TVs towards

122
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:05,279
behaviors that align more closely with CIE 170-2. That isn't necessarily a bad

123
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:10,080
thing if true. It would simply reflect a particular design philosophy. Some

124
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:15,519
people prefer that look. However, at the same time, some people find recent Sony

125
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,880
TVs a bit too blue for their liking. For

126
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:22,399
our video, we tested the Bravia 82 based

127
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,480
on the CIE1 1931 CMF. So, the results

128
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:30,160
are consistent, repeatable, and comparable across our entire data set.

129
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:35,440
This wasn't because 170-2 or other models for that matter are invalid. Not

130
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:39,839
at all. It just means that we and most of the rest of the industry are still

131
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:43,279
evaluating moving to it. And CIE is still working on improving things. So,

132
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:47,279
it's possible an even more different standard will be set in the future.

133
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:52,560
We'll let you know. And if and when we make a change here, it will most likely

134
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,560
be in an LTLABS.com article. Our goal is

135
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:58,240
to give viewers trustworthy data that aligns with the broader testing

136
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,080
ecosystem while still acknowledging that your personal preference is what

137
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:06,560
ultimately matters. Measurements can help for sure. We do them, but they're

138
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:11,200
only part of the battle. Visual evaluation is highly important and if

139
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,920
the standards evolve, we will evolve with them. But until then, consistency

140
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:21,360
helps ensure that when we say a TV measures well or poorly, it means the

141
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:26,720
same thing across every video. This also means when James alludes to this TV not

142
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:32,000
being accurate out of the box, he just means compared to the 1931 CMF, the

143
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,360
general industry standard. Other publications have shown it testing

144
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,680
differently against some other standards, however. So, it's a bit of a

145
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:45,279
mixed bag on the testing front, but what isn't much of a mixed bag is basically

146
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:50,240
everyone thinks it looks fantastic. And this is why, as we have always said, you

147
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:55,440
should check out multiple reviews or unboxing pluses in this case before

148
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,440
making a major purchasing decision. Go out there, watch or read a variety of

149
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:04,640
reviews. Get a variety of perspectives, then make your own informed decision or

150
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,399
even just use those as a baseline, then go to the store and make your final

151
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:13,440
decision in person based on what you like more. Now, back to James. So, let's

152
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,839
see how much more drab and not sexy it is if we go into cinema, which is more

153
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,160
accurate, uh, and professional, which is the most accurate. Show me that

154
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:27,760
razledazzle. I mean, yeah, it's still it's still

155
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:31,360
amazing. It's still great. It wasn't just vivid mode. The reds are especially

156
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:34,320
just really awesome in the yellows. And that's a cutie OLED thing.

157
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,560
>> Vivid mode. >> You want to see vivid mode? >> Yeah.

158
00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:43,920
>> Oh my god, it's eye searing. The brightness is just flying now. Holy. If

159
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:46,753
you if you focus on just one color, it kind of just like gets your rods and

160
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,773
cones all up. >> [laughter]

161
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:55,120
>> Honestly, guys, this applies to everything I'm seeing and especially

162
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,240
this mode. You can't even see what I'm seeing. Yeah, this is nuts. You know

163
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,600
what my first test track would be? The 4K Blu-ray, Lord of the Rings,

164
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:07,600
Fellowship of the Ring, Bridge of Kazadoom, You Shall Not Pass. The fire

165
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,440
from the Brog IS INSANE. [groaning]

166
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:15,680
YOU COULD JUST see like all the heat on Ian Mckllen's face. It's like ah cinema.

167
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Absolute cinema. Vivid mode is fun for some people. A lot of people buying this

168
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,680
TV though are probably going to be purists who they want to see the creators intent. The closest thing to

169
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,240
the creator's intent is always is going to be the professional mode. However, that doesn't mean you have to use it.

170
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:32,480
It's kind of like listening to headphones that are really bassy. If you

171
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,480
like the way it looks, good for you. You're weird, though. Let's talk testing

172
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:42,639
some more. I said in the intro that this this TV like is so close to being the

173
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,320
best and it it's because hardware-wise you can get really great results and we

174
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:51,279
were able to get really great color accuracy out of this once we calibrated

175
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:56,079
it. You can see we had delta ease of less than one once we calibrated it.

176
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Most people aren't calibrating their displays though. They're using the value

177
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,120
values that come out of the box. And the out of the box here is in my opinion a

178
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:11,040
bit disappointing. It's not bad. It's good even. It's just not great until you

179
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,240
get a color monkey or or you just manually do it yourself, which you can

180
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:18,720
do, or you hire somebody. It's just disappointing to see that it seems the

181
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:22,959
white point they chose is just kind of skewed pink a bit and it's just throwing

182
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:27,600
a lot of stuff off. My theory is maybe they're trying to differentiate these

183
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,760
displays from the W OLEDs where the reds aren't as good and so they're just

184
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,360
trying to jack those up which is very appealing but it lowers the actual

185
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,839
accuracy. What we have is the professional mode which is in my opinion

186
00:13:37,839 --> 00:13:43,279
less than professional but it is the best mode on this TV. So I guess use it.

187
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,480
Did you see that bird's face? Look at this cutie. I should take a moment just

188
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:53,440
for those of you who have never had an OLED or don't really know what that means. Look at this. Look at this. It's

189
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:59,040
amazing the inky blacks. So, the difference between uh an LED or miniLEDD

190
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:02,320
again OLED really comes down to with an LED, the the light is always shining

191
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,160
from the backlight and it just gets blocked. The liquid crystals, they twist

192
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:08,800
to block the light. And so, that's why when you enter a dark room, you can

193
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,680
still see it kind of glowing. You just know the TV's on even though it's displaying full black. It's because

194
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,320
there's light shining from the black light. But on an OLED, they turn the

195
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:22,560
emitters right off. This it's [music] literally just not on. And so it's as

196
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,519
black as the glasses. That's why they look so awesome, especially in like

197
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,720
night scenes where there's just only the moon illuminated and it's shining

198
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,800
bright. Everything else can be so so black. I love OLEDs. You everyone should

199
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:36,959
get one if they can. Let's evaluate the speakers real quick. I would never

200
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:43,560
suggest that you use the onboard speakers, especially with a high-end TV

201
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,560
like this. But let's give them a listen.

202
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:49,680
Woohoo. All right. Do not go above 50. I think it goes to 100, but gez that

203
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,279
sounded that sounded really distorted and harsh. I think it sounds okay. A lot

204
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:56,399
of people will just use it this way. I recommend obviously I'm like a home

205
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,160
theater person, [music] so I recommend at least getting bookshelves, maybe even

206
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,240
a soundbar, but as far as TV speakers go, it could be worse. I think the

207
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:07,279
screen time limiter scheduler is a cool feature, though. So, basically, you can

208
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,720
make it so you can't use this TV during specified hours unless you like enter a

209
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,480
pin. [music] Um, and that is really cool cuz in my house, there's, you know, no

210
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:18,240
TV after 7:00 p.m. kind of thing in the leadup to bedtime. So, I'm totally into

211
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,279
that. Now, we got the PlayStation 5 connected to this puppy. And you can see

212
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:24,240
that the content type automatically switched to game. So, that's going to be

213
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:29,839
lower latency, which is important because the standard latency we measured

214
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,240
on the uh video mode was

215
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:37,040
poop, but totally sufficient when you're watching a movie. And the lag is way

216
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,639
better when you're in these modes. So, uh it automatically switched to that.

217
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:46,320
The question we have now though is if we put a movie into our PlayStation, will

218
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:51,600
it switch back automatically to a video/ images mode? It did. Here we

219
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,440
go. Just launching the Plex app, not even launching content, has switched us

220
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,199
back to the video images content type. Okay, that's cool. Let's go back to

221
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:06,360
gaming. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Lord of the Rings, we got to see it. Vivid

222
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,360
Hobbits, let's go.

223
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:11,160
Woo! Oh, I'm getting a tan.

224
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,680
Oh, this is sacrilege. A,

225
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,720
we wired the Ethernet. Now, this should improve things because we're wiring

226
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:26,000
through the PlayStation, which has gigabit Ethernet. Whereas, if we were

227
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,240
just wiring the TV, that actually might

228
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,720
be slower than your Wi-Fi because the TV Ethernet ports are generally still 100,

229
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:38,639
which is just insane and criminally low and not sufficient for like a really

230
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:41,880
heavy bit rate 4K Blu-ray quality movie.

231
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,880
Come on.

232
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:49,920
I refuse to turn down the quality. But anyway, back to gaming.

233
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,759
Whoa, that was crazy. Did you see that? The colors just changed. I went in the

234
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,720
menu, it still looked all vivid. And then when I hit play on this game, I saw

235
00:16:55,839 --> 00:17:02,160
the color shift because now it's got to be back in the game mode. Let me just

236
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:06,480
rattle off a bunch of gaming features. With a PlayStation specifically, there's

237
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:11,120
auto HDR tone mapping. Uh, with any gaming, it is G-Sync compatible, but not

238
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:16,240
FreeSync compatible because it has the HDMI form variable refresh rate and not

239
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,520
Vasa adaptive sync. And one of the coolest things is with the PlayStation

240
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,559
and with this TV, you can do remote play. So, I don't have a PlayStation,

241
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:29,360
but if a friend with the PlayStation came over, did not bring their PlayStation, but brought the

242
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:34,559
controllers, we could play their games on my TV, which I think is amazing.

243
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:38,640
YouTube quick search. Gaming multiv- view on YouTube. Oh my god. Okay,

244
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:43,200
zoomers, get ready for this. This is a YouTube multi- view mode where you could

245
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,840
you could choose to have subway surfers on half your screen while you're gaming.

246
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Or you could choose to do what I've done, which is pull up a walkthrough for the game I'm playing. You can also hit

247
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,480
the menu button on the remote to choose which audio you hear. So you can

248
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,039
actually balance the audio between the two sources. That's cool. Now you don't need to have multiple TVs if you just

249
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:07,840
want to play video games and watch sports at the same time. In terms of pricing, $3,300 USD for the 65 in and

250
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,919
$2,600 for the 55 in. They're not the

251
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,600
cheapest TVs out there. In fact, they're they're among the most expensive TVs out

252
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,960
there. [laughter] As someone with a version of this TV

253
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,880
that's just 1 to two years old, I'm definitely not going to be upgrading. But if you're coming from something

254
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:25,840
that's like 5 plus years old, this is going to be game changer for you. I will

255
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:28,720
say when I upgraded to my QD OLED Bravia

256
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:34,559
from my W OLED, I believe it was like a 2018 LG, once I put it in the color

257
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:38,640
accurate mode, I could not tell the difference between the two [music] sets.

258
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:43,760
And you would expect that I had more drab colors from just the lifetime of

259
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,600
that of that TV. It really is only in the vivid mode that you're like, "Wow."

260
00:18:45,679 --> 00:18:50,720
So, yeah, if you have like a 3-year-old LG OLED, probably wouldn't upgrade it

261
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:57,520
either. So, thanks for watching ShortCircuit, guys. If you're looking for a TV that has more wife acceptance factor,

262
00:18:54,799 --> 00:19:04,480
uh, namely the Frame TV, watch my unboxing of that. It was very fun. Um,

263
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,480
I'm not going to spoil it,
