so we left off part one of this series with a particularly cruel Cliffhanger
Dennis hanging from the literal Cliff that he created in my house by stepping
through my ceiling way to go
Dennis oh my God Dennis just fell down from now on I'm going to call this the
Dennis hole hi Dennis
hello seriously man I could have
died but we're done now and I'm finally
ready to unveil what I'm calling the world's most comfortable gaming setup
let's head
inside now we weren't quite done last time when our shooting session got cut a
little short so I'll catch you guys up on what all was done in the meantime
first the contractors finished their handiwork adding insulation drywall
electrical and new flooring
the contrast between the original room and the upgraded one is
Stark but enough about that let's talk about the real upgrades I used a 2-in
PVC pipe to Route cables to the back of the Samsung ks9500 4K SD TV that they
graciously provided when they sponsored this project only with a Twist thanks to
the one connect input box I can handle all four of the HDMI 2.0 inputs Each of
which is capable of driving the full 3840 x 21 60 Resolution of this
television at up to 60 HZ through a single cable to the TV mounting gear to
the wall was done in a number of ways to demonstrate the versatility of this
approach for light items double-sided 3M tape is fine but for heavier items like
the custom gaming rig it's nice to have this wall either plywood backed or with
plywood over top the way that I've done it so you don't have to worry about
finding a stud when you want to screw something in in total the wall contain
and Xbox one which is more to demonstrate how additional devices could
be added I know it won't red discs this way a network switch a USB charging Hub
and all of my controllers on a cool little shelf I found at
Ikea let's take a moment to check out that custom wall-mounted PC it's rocking
an Intel Core i7 6700k 16 gigs of dual
channel ddr4 from Corsair and a GTX 1070
Founders Edition all in a lean Lee PC 06s aluminum and temper glass case now I
know that I only Built This thing a short while ago but it's also just been
upgraded with individually sleeved green cables from cable mod and RGB lighting
with a remote control so it can actually be turned all the way off when complete
Blackness is desired time for the biggest challenge of this project
mounting the TV step one was to figure
out where the devil to put it something that's very difficult to eyeball by the
way then step two was to secure it I
actually ordered two other mounts before
reaching out to Kanto for help and they sent over their f680 which solved all my
problems this sucker mounts with six beefy screws into the wood roof supports
and can handle up to 200 lb of entertainment goodness yeah good which
is good because this TV is one heavy
mother I plugged it into the power outlet behind it there's an extra plug
there for a soundar upgrade in the future if needed and with a lot of help
got it in position locked it in place tucked the cables behind it and wait a
minute I need a chair but not just any
chair a chair that allows the user to recline at the perfect angle to view the
ceiling mounted TV straight on okay I think I got it little
man okay
oh there we go this yellow thing I ordered off
Amazon was horrible and cost $400 so I reached out to L saac and they
hooked us up with the pillow sack and a super comfy cover for it this thing
rocks so at this point I could have easily stopped the project and said okay
mission accomplished wow there's a lot of
magnets but I wanted to make the room a comfy play area for my kids as well so I
added a fun magnet wall a couple tipped over bookshelves and another small bean
bag chair to sit and read and finally a couple of end tables for the pillow sack
but did it work actually yeah a lot of
things came together to make this one of the most unbelievable movie watching and
gaming experiences that I have ever encountered first is all the technology
in the TV at this viewing distance 4K
absolutely makes a difference but there's more to it than that it features
Quantum do technology which we've covered in more detail before to achieve
better Energy Efficiency keeping the room cool
and both the better color performance and increased Peak brightness of a th000
nits that allow this set to meet the requirements for the UHD premium HDR
standard in a nutshell HDR means more
details in the high and low lights of the scene for a viewing experience that
is much closer to what you would get in the version of the movie that was
mastered for the theater and while HDR does require a supported player and HDR
mastered content the onboard Netflix app in Samsung's tyen OS handles it and some
content is starting to show up already with much more coming in the summer
other ties and highlights include voice search which you can see in action here
PS Now with a dual shot controller and for me anyway the free Plex app that
lets me stream off of my home Plex server woo now I want to take a moment
to talk then about the curve normally I'm not convinced that it makes that
much of a difference to the viewers immersion in the content especially on a
TV but here with the screen just a few
feet away far enough to Focus comfortably but close enough to occupy
about as much of my field of view as a theater screen it works really well and
I even got Brandon our resident Cinema purist to sign off on it saying quote
it's surprisingly cool and he even pointed out that it is an awesome
solution to a problem that many of us have faced wanting to lie on our backs
watching a video with our phone above us only to have our arms get tired or the
phone accidentally fall please for the
love of every thing if you game on a TV make sure you're in game mode but once
you get that sorted out what can I say it is awesome the gaming experience is
every bit as comfy and immersive as you'd imagine I definitely prefer the
16x9 aspect ratio with a large screen to
a three display surround setup with bezels in the middle and all the same
things that make movies awesome on this thing popping colors strong contrast and
the curve make it fantastic for gaming I've already had lover for some
two-player fun and I doubt it'll be his last visit overall I'm really pleased
with what we've accomplished here I wasn't sure how well the concept would
work in practice but thanks to the super comfy seat confidence inspiring Mount
and this great TV it turned out amazing
