WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.759 Televisions used to cost nearly 10,000 00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:11.120 today bucks and you'd get a tiny little screen in a giant cabinet. But today you 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:17.039 can get a perfectly chromulent TV for just $30. Okay, it's not exactly a 00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.840 cinema in your home, but we bought this from Best Buy for $35. 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.160 So why would you spend more? Well, if you pony up $300, you'll get something 00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:30.560 larger, sleeker, and high definitioner. 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:37.280 Is this the sweet spot? If you're not a cinnophile, probably. But if you spend 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.200 $3,000 of dollars like we used to on 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.640 TVs, you could get a state-of-the-art OLED panel that makes everything we've 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.039 looked at so far look like it was designed for Linusized humans with very 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.840 poor eyesight. But what if you could spend three tens, thousands of dollars? 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.960 How much more TV do you really get when you spend car money on a television set? 00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.120 Is it worth it? Or is this little guy good enough? After all, even this is 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.400 practically science fiction technology compared to what your parents grew up 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:11.520 with. I mean, look how clear the picture is. Hey, I can even make out this segue 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.520 TO OUR SPONSOR, HNER.

Okay, sure. It's only in fair 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:57.040 condition and it sports just a 1280 x 720p resolution, but it comes with a 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.799 short open box warranty. The display itself actually looks pretty good. And 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:08.160 come on guys, 35 bucks is 35 bucks. Who needs the full high definition when the 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.879 screen is this small? You probably even 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:14.000 at just 32 in guess the PPI. It's like 45 PPI. 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:20.400 >> 45 pixels. >> That is small pi. 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.720 And the worst part is that because this 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.920 was an open box deal, normally you would pay a lot more for this thing. On Black 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:33.360 Friday promo, it was more like $70, which is about twice what we paid for 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.440 it. And the value proposition gets 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.120 pretty questionable at that point. Let's give it a shot. You know, the remote, 00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:43.680 >> it's fine. >> It feels okay. >> Yeah, it's better than the Samsung 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:49.280 remote we'll try later. >> Wow. You can really see those dark areas 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.879 in the corners. >> I don't think that's a defect, sir. I 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.519 think that's just the TV. >> For being a 720p display, the text looks 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.760 crisper than I expected, though. >> Smaller than I expected. 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:05.360 >> It's It's tiny. But growing up, I would have been stoked for a TV like this. 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.480 >> We've already run into a problem. What button am I supposed to press? 00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:11.760 >> Okay, I actually can't tell from here. >> Oh, it is. It's the home button. 00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:16.560 >> Why does it have to do this? We turned the TV on with it. This is a Fire TV. 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:21.200 >> Yeah, you're getting Fire TV builtin. >> It's not the worst smart TV platform. 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.800 And 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Show me anything else for $35 that has 5 GHz support. My eyes 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:31.840 are starting to dry out just looking at this for this long. Full. Uh, yeah. 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:35.840 Let's go with just not installing any of your is not an option. 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.120 >> All of the ads it works. Okay, but what's this show called? 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.920 >> Okay. No, from the thumbnail. I know that it is only because I recognize 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.400 >> as much fun as we're having making fun of the Fire TV experience, though. We 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.440 want consistency as we're evaluating all our different TV sets. So, we're going 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.640 to switch over to an NVIDIA Shield really quick here. It's got three 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.959 inputs, though, which all things considered, not that bad. And does have 00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:02.720 an optical jack, which if I was running a TV like this, I would 100% want a 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:05.680 soundbar, and that would be extremely handy. >> Well, I had even thought of the speaker 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:10.239 quality. >> Uh oh, input. I forgot about this. Yeah, 00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:15.200 there's no input button. Ridiculous. >> I expect that on a Samsung TV. 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:19.759 Frustrated with seeing the same ads on repeat. Well, that's how their TV is. 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.160 $35 open box. >> Let's go to that spot we like to watch. 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.600 >> These are better than I expected. >> Harsh, but clear. 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:30.400 >> If you had a child and sat them in front of this TV and turned the speakers on, 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:35.520 they would be stoked. >> They would not care. >> Is it TN? It doesn't seem like it. 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.960 >> No, I'm pretty sure this is VA. >> So it is. So it is. Like, dude, it's 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:45.759 kind of fine. >> That's not terrible viewing angles. >> No, I'm downright impressed. 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:47.440 >> And for only $35, open box fair. It's 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.639 normally 70 bucks on sale. >> And the distance. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.800 >> It is funny how almost the exact same size it is. 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.800 >> And your speakers are probably better. >> Plus, this is OLED. You know, just 00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:02.479 because it doesn't get over like 300 nits of brightness, that doesn't mean 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:07.360 it's not bright enough. >> Oh, it's very usable. >> Do you want to know what the color 00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.600 accuracy is? I'm gonna guess delta E 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.840 average of 13 >> in standard mode. Yes. But it has a film 00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.440 mode. >> No. >> Yeah. It's got a film mode. >> Shut up. >> Yeah. And in the film mode, it gets an 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:23.120 average of six with a max of like 12. >> That's not bad. >> That's not bad. Like it's not amazing. 00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.880 The only real downside to this TV, aside from like size and pixel density, the 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.639 latency, even with game mode on, it's still bad. It measures at like 7 00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:34.560 milliseconds over the theoretical perfect. Even that's not that bad 00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.479 compared to Okay, it's not not that long ago. I could game with an extra 7 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:43.120 milliseconds of latency. In summary, no, it's not amazing, but it's amazingly 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.919 better than I expected, even at the non-open box price, making it perfect 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:52.080 for something like a dentist office or a guest or a kids' room. Who I would say 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.840 it's not for though, is someone who is struggling with affordability and 00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.639 looking for a primary display. For those folks, I really do think you'd be better 00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:05.759 off just holding the phone that you probably already have until something 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.199 pops up on a local buy nothing group or 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:12.880 if you could pick up something like a used monitor. Full HD units tend to go 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.319 for about this price or in some cases 00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.720 even cheaper if you pick one up secondhand. And they're not that much 00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:22.880 smaller. They are smaller. Okay, they are smaller. But this is a classic like 00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:26.720 boots theory of economics situation where spending money on lowquality crap 00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:30.800 is going to cost you more in the long run. And even though this thing looks 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.759 fine today, I have serious doubts about how long it'll last. Yeah. Any of our 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.759 TVs, we're not going to be doing long-term testing. So, nothing is 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.000 necessarily a recommendation. >> Did you lift it? 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:45.600 >> Oh, yeah. It weighs like nothing at all. Nothing at all. 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:47.680 >> You're sure this is 720p, right? Like it's not bad. That's what it's 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:54.800 advertised as. >> Now, let's see what happens when we decouple our budget and pick up the 55 00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:02.080 R4C5. This is nuts. I mean, if you told 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:06.000 teenage me that he could buy a 55 in 4K 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.759 TV for $300, he would have immediately 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.039 dropped his discman, shattered his hybrid Theory CD, and sprinted to the 00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:18.400 local Future Shop. I mean, sure, it's a pretty basic LCD panel, so don't expect 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:21.680 a great HDR experience, but we have not 00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:24.400 only tripled our total screen area, we 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.080 have also jumped to a whopping 80 pixels per inch, which is going to result in a 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:32.720 much sharper image. We're also getting one of the better smart TV 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:34.479 implementations with Roku builtin, which 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.319 is a bit of a hot take now that it's clear how much of your data they're 00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:42.960 stealing. >> Yeah, but everyone's stealing your data. >> Yes. And unlike Tyizen OS, which also 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:47.520 advertises to on top of stealing your data, at least Roku is somewhat pleasant 00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:51.520 to navigate. Hold for 5 seconds. Now that is clear instructions. 00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:56.800 >> Yeah. TV much bigger. Is it doing >> pairing process? 00:07:53.840 --> 00:08:02.000 >> Now this is a TV that I could get behind spending $300 on. Oh, did we just give 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:06.319 Roku a pass for being like kind of awful? I forgot about this part. You 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:11.120 cannot use this TV without an account. Roku, go yourself. Also doesn't 00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:15.520 have a source button. >> Is there a home button, though? >> No input button. 00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:20.080 >> Yeah, that is annoying. No, we can't seem to reach you at Roku. Sucks. 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.080 >> Please activate in the next 30 minutes. Wait. Oh, 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:29.919 >> what? >> I have to select stupid apps on my phone. 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:30.960 >> Oh, CBC gem. Let's go. 00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:37.680 >> Setup complete. >> Was there a minimum amount that you had to select as well? No. Could select 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.200 zero. Okay. maximizing fun factor. 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:44.480 >> Okay, this is just joking around. >> Oh, I thought you were pointing at how many apps are on it. That's why they 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.720 didn't have to have me select any. They preloaded 44 on my behalf. Back didn't 00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:53.839 go back to home. >> Oh, that is stupid. Why doesn't it just go back? >> Because it's Apple logic. Wherever I 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:58.560 just came from. >> Take me there. >> Take me there. >> That's why it's called the back button. 00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:04.080 >> I thought it was cuz baby got it. >> That's >> like the last set. We've got three 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.160 HDMIs. one with ER as well as optical audio, but we actually lose the 3 and a 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:14.720 half millimeter jack. We get a coax jack, an Ethernet port, and a type-C USB 00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:19.839 port. Why is it so damn hard to just find the input? They don't want you to 00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:22.000 use anything but the TV. TV inputs. 00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:26.000 >> It's so buried, too. Why is it down here? HDMI mode. No, just I just I want 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.880 to use it. What's the rocket ship button? Quick launch. Hold to change 00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:33.200 this shortcut. >> Change it to an input button. >> I'm going to try. You got to be kidding 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:39.760 me. >> You can change it so it goes to the Roku channel, though. 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.640 Okay, home. It's Maybe it's down here somewhere. Oh my god, it's below the 00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.279 fold on the home screen. That is some passive aggressive level I 00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:54.640 just want you to use the TV. >> Okay, so movie is just warmer. Wow, this 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.760 is actually pretty well configured out of the box. 00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:00.959 >> Y >> not bad anti-glare. Not great. >> It's not amazing, but like it's totally 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:07.200 usable. Oh, very usable. >> I think we just didn't notice the anti-glare coating on the previous TV 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:08.640 because of how small. 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:12.320 >> This is a wild take. >> Hold on. >> Was the last one brighter? Because I 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:19.120 think it was. >> This one. >> Oh, and the gamma handling is like bad. 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.440 >> The problem with having all of these like dynamic contrast enhancer and other 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.160 settings like that >> Yeah. >> is it's not going to look amazing until 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.760 you find the right setting for it. I mean, it's only on like low. 00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:34.959 >> I know, but turn it up to high. >> You're going to get less color accuracy, 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:41.360 but it'll probably be a brighter image that most people are going to prefer. >> Oh, hold on. We're in dark HDR, 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:44.480 >> which is the most accurate, I will say. 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.000 >> The bright one looks horrible. Standard 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:49.600 looks a little poppier, >> but look, everything in the back is 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.480 crushed. It's all crushed. This is not supposed to look like this. 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:54.640 >> There's no full array local dimming. >> There wasn't full array local dimming on 00:10:54.079 --> 00:11:00.880 the last one. >> I know, but it also wasn't trying to do HDR at all. But my point of comparison 00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:03.120 is a $30 TV that make Look how bad that 00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:06.720 looks. The entire right side of the frame is just black. 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.360 >> Maybe don't use HDR on a TV that's not meant for HDR. 00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:16.440 >> I didn't advertise it as HDR. >> I know when available. Okay, sure. 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.440 >> Okay, I can turn off HDR. 00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:24.640 >> I would take this over the last image. >> I would too. >> 100%. Not even close. This is why you 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:26.720 don't get an HDR TV that just says HDR 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:29.279 and then play HDR content on it. You need >> full local dimming. 00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:32.240 >> Full array local dimming, which is only going to come in miniLEDD or OLED. 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:37.760 >> Yeah, >> cuz microLED is not out yet. >> Well, not in consumer space 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.320 >> at a price that anyone cares about. >> Definitely not at $300. 00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:44.320 >> Look how much better this is, though. >> It really is like everything in the background. You can still make it out. 00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:46.480 And it's just because the whole thing is kind of lifted. Yeah. I'd rather watch 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.440 this. >> How are the speakers, though? 00:11:52.079 --> 00:11:56.399 I don't think they're even better than the last one. >> Not really. No. But like they're both 00:11:55.839 --> 00:12:02.640 okay. >> You can really tell what they've tuned for. Like right in the vocal range. 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:06.639 >> Yeah. >> Everything else, don't worry about it. How was the lab's results? 00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:13.120 >> Not awful. >> We're getting a little over 200 nits in SDR, about 320 in HDR. 00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.320 >> Yeah. And that lack of brightness, even compared to our $35, $70 TV, you really 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:23.680 see it. >> Yeah. Our color accuracy is not bad, both in SDR and HDR. And our latency is 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.639 similar to the last TV. At 60 Hz, we're getting 5.2 milliseconds over our 00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:32.000 theoretical perfect. >> Very usable. Something to note, by the way, is we made these purchases before 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:36.160 Black Friday, so these aren't even necessarily the best deals you can find. 00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:42.320 We saw a similar TCL for as little as $170 as a doorbuster sale, which is 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:45.279 flipping wild. As for our TV, okay, it's 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:50.079 10 times the price, but you are getting nine times the pixels and in my humble 00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:53.360 opinion, other benefits that I think clock it in at over 10 times the 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:57.680 enjoyment. >> Yeah, as much as certain things weren't that much better. 00:12:55.839 --> 00:13:02.560 >> Yeah, the speakers. Wow. >> But the size and resolution alone, 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:07.680 >> without question, this is the bang for the buck Goldilocks right here. Of 00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:14.880 course, that doesn't make it absolute cinema either. What happens if we 10x 00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:17.920 our budget again? Wo, that's bigger TV. 00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:20.800 Damn, what a glorious beast you are. The 00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:26.480 Samsung S85F83 in. We're calling this our $3,000 TV, 00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:30.959 but we got an absolute steal of a deal on it, and so can you. Just like how a 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:35.839 savvy shopper avoids buying an iPhone in August, savvy TV buyers can follow the 00:13:33.839 --> 00:13:39.920 industry's predictable cycle to get amazing deals. See, the new models 00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:43.440 usually get announced in January, then they land in the spring or the summer. 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:47.040 That means that when fall rolls around, the discounts come out to play, and you 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:52.959 can often get something that hasn't even been replaced yet for significantly less 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:57.760 money. Because of this, we got an 83in 00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:59.519 OLED for under our budget at just $2500. 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:04.079 And it's packed with all kinds of features that you would expect on a 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:08.320 high-end freaking giant freaking OLED, like four HDMI ports. It's worth noting, 00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:11.199 by the way, that as good as this thing is, it did have a pretty serious 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:16.880 challenger. >> Yeah, the LG C5 also had an 83in model 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:21.199 for sale, but it was $3,200, >> so it's over our budget, but according 00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:23.839 to ratings, I mean, it's the better TV. >> Well, before we say that, why don't we 00:14:23.199 --> 00:14:29.600 fire this up? >> Sure. >> Wow, this thing is a monster. 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.519 >> We did get the S85 instead of the 95, so 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:35.199 it's not quite the top end model. >> Well, yeah, but like 00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:38.399 >> I know. Yeah, but it's also just regular OLED. Samsung can't make cutie OLED in 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.360 this size yet. >> Thank you for choosing Smart Things. Did 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:48.000 I choose Smart Things or did I have Smart Things jammed down my throat? Why 00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:51.680 is it so trendy to put so few freaking buttons on your remote? Does this not 00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:56.160 have an input button either? >> It doesn't. Neither does my S95B at 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.120 home. They >> So offensive. >> You go to the home menu and then you go 00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:04.720 to connected devices and then you go from there. does charge on solar though. 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:10.560 >> Yeah. And it's got USBC on the bottom, too. >> Okay. So, I open this app. Oh my god. 00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:13.199 Location. The You need my location for >> Does it want you to tap that button on 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:18.639 the remote? >> Oh, wait. Did I not have to do any of 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:22.320 this? I can just click TO THE RIGHT. WO. 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.600 And then go hello. Oh my. Okay. I got 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:31.120 dark pattern. >> That's wild. It happens to the best of us. The right navigation button being 00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:35.519 how to advance through the menus is not how that works on any interface in the 00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:39.680 history of computing. This is the confirm button. These buttons are 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:44.079 navigation buttons. >> Right means forward and go within a left 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.880 to right. >> Not not in Japan. Let's start. All 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.399 right. >> Connect to Wi-Fi. This is pretty standard. >> This is fine. And thank you for the 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:55.519 quarterty keyboard. Okay. Enjoy a wide range of smart features. 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:59.120 >> Can you just hit next? Can you skip? >> I can. >> Okay. >> But then it just prompts me to sign in 00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:03.600 >> later. >> Oh, >> it gave us a later option. Even this. 00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:06.639 >> Do it later. Do all this stuff later. >> I mean, this this is kind of cool. 00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:09.680 >> Yeah, this is neat. The adapt the volume stuff. Sure. >> Yeah, I'll enable that now. Turned up 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:13.199 our brightness. It knows we're in a bright room. Hey, this is nice. You can 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.600 use your smart remote to control your screen and connected devices. It just picked up everything. Explore your 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.519 favorite content quickly and easily. A bunch of Christmas movies like Die Hard. 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:25.519 >> We're actually not that inundated with ads. >> I mean, these are all ads. It is 00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:28.880 literally all ads, though. >> I know, but they're like >> They're all ads, 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.279 >> but they're like movies I might want to watch. >> Picture clarity off. Wow, that was 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:37.040 actually very simple to do within this little quick menu here. Live translate. 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:40.079 That's interesting. What is the difference between AI optimized and AI 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:46.800 customization? >> It's the mode that best suits your viewing environment. I don't know. 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:52.240 >> You know what? AI optimizer panel care. >> This is our first OLED. And while they 00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:56.959 don't burn in to nearly anywhere close to like plasmas or early OLEDs, you 00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:01.440 should still probably enable all of the panel health. This is something that has 00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:05.919 driven me crazy about HDR TVs since the advent of HDR TVs. Why is this grayed 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.880 out? It's grayed out because there's no HDR content active. 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.799 >> So what? >> Let me change the settings. >> Let me just set it up. I have to choose 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.799 a film for >> Go to connected devices. Go to our NVIDIA Shield. 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:24.160 >> I'm on it. >> It should power it on, too. Yeah, there it goes. >> There we go. CEC, baby. 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.760 >> Shout out. $20 versus $20,000 projector. 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.919 That video is coming soon, too. >> $200,000 projector. 00:17:27.199 --> 00:17:31.840 >> $2,000. >> $200,000. >> He found a whole higher gear than you. 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:37.360 Are you going to take that? >> I can't find a 300. Actually, you know what? We probably could find a $300,000 00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:40.480 TV if we got a micro LED. >> Subscribe for all of that nonsense. 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.440 Where are all my picture modes that aren't AI optimized? I don't understand 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.320 what's happening right now. >> I don't know either. Ew, the motion 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:54.160 smoothing is back on. Why can't I turn film mode on? Where the hell is my 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:58.080 filmmaker mode? Is it because I enabled AI optimization during setup? I'm 00:17:56.320 --> 00:18:00.320 factory resetting it. I'm going to not tell it do AI things this time. 00:17:59.919 --> 00:18:04.799 >> Okay. >> I should 100% be able to change a 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:10.640 setting like that after the fact, though. And it should be obvious. I'm so 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:13.840 pissed off at this point. Hey, 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:16.240 what was that before? So, don't use AI. 00:18:13.840 --> 00:18:18.559 Whatever. I don't know. But now we can actually change our picture modes 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.960 properly. >> Okay, >> which we should have been able to do. 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:25.280 >> Now that we're finally here, this is far and away the best looking image we've 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.840 seen. >> Yeah, >> it's incredible that we had to go through that much hassle in order to get 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:35.919 here. >> But that could have been user error during TV setup. 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:40.160 >> Look how bright this thing gets, though. >> Yeah, >> in SDR it definitely doesn't get very 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.960 bright, but in HDR, >> but that's that's normal. 00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:46.799 >> It's not supposed to. >> That's fine. I like a popped out like 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:51.679 tonemapped SDR actually. >> Yeah, >> but it's not supposed to. But in HDR, 00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:54.720 >> it's good. We're getting over 800 nits, which isn't as much as the flagship. 00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:58.400 We're not cracking a,000, but like >> on an OLED, >> good enough for me. And now we're 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:03.039 getting full array local dimming per pixel. >> Show me those fireworks. 00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:06.720 That looks good. Another thing completely ignoring the image quality is 00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:12.000 this is packed with features that we didn't have on our previous sets. 120 Hz 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:16.240 4K, variable refresh rate, auto low latency mode, very low latency, I would 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:20.559 assume. I haven't seen the Labs test results. >> It's an OLED. And I'll tell you right 00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:26.400 now, it's pretty good. >> All right. And how's the color accuracy? 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.200 >> Also quite good. Both in SDR and HDR. 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:33.080 >> That makes sense. >> Yeah, it's OLED. >> Oh, we haven't listened to the speakers 00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:33.080 yet. 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:40.720 >> They're not that much better than the 55 in TV. In terms of clarity, I would 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.440 agree with you, but they manage that clarity across a greater range. 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:51.600 >> Sure, if all you care about is you want to hear the news anchor on Fox or CNN or 00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:56.240 whichever only source of news you choose to consume, then any of them is going to 00:19:54.480 --> 00:20:01.440 achieve it pretty much the same. But if I was going to watch a musical, I would 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:02.799 prefer to watch it on these speakers. or 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:09.280 having spent this much money, >> yeah, >> I would spend the rest of my $500 on a 00:20:06.320 --> 00:20:14.960 nice soundbar or a surround sound setup or or a delightful RGB sweater from 00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:18.720 ltstore.com. Would you love having 10 times more to spend on your TV? I would 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:22.880 love that. Then why don't we go take a look at our last display? It's so big we 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:29.200 couldn't transport it here, so we got to go to the lab. 00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:31.120 Here we are. And here is the High Sense 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:37.600 116UX. This puppy is pure bragging rights at 10 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:43.520 times the price and nearly twice the area of the 83in TV that we just looked 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:47.360 at. Five times the cost for two times 00:20:43.520 --> 00:20:50.000 the size. Yes, sir. See, this bad boy 00:20:47.360 --> 00:20:55.039 gets hit with a double whammy of price boosters. First, it uses a brand new 00:20:52.640 --> 00:21:00.640 emerging backlight technology called RGB Miniledd. Instead, white lights or blue 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:05.120 ones. The back lights on this TV are multicolored for the widest color gamut 00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:08.159 that we have ever measured in the lab. You can see it in action in this high 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:12.799 sense factory tour that we're going to have linked down below. The second 00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:17.679 whammy is mother glass. Now, some of you may be familiar with this. Give yourself 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:23.200 a cookie. But for everyone else, every smaller TV comes from a giant sheet of 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:27.440 what's called motherlass. that mother glass gets cut down into the smaller 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:32.559 panels. Now, as mother glass sizes have gone up with each generation of TV 00:21:30.159 --> 00:21:38.000 production, so have the sizes of the displays that you can cut out of it. But 00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:42.640 the prices for the top sizes in each generation remain very high because they 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:48.640 could have taken that single sheet and they could have cut it up into a whole 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:50.559 bunch of 55 in or 65-in TVs. Also, when 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:55.600 you're cutting smaller pieces out, it's a lot easier to salvage usable displays 00:21:53.280 --> 00:21:59.520 out of an imperfect sheet. Say you had a bad spot here. Well, you just make one 00:21:57.280 --> 00:22:06.320 of these and one of these and one of these. No big deal. When you're making 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:08.640 one giant TV, well, the entire sheet has 00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:12.559 to basically be perfect, which just doesn't happen very often, even under 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:17.120 the best conditions. I've heard that the yields are so poor on these that even 00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:22.080 large multinational brands will make dozens or at most hundreds of these 00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:25.440 signature flagship products. So, they got to make sure that the juice is going 00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:29.679 to be worth the squeeze. And then you've got to decide if your wallet can take 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.600 the squeeze and also your back because moving and installing something this big 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:39.039 is a major hassle. And it only has three HDMI ports. But that's actually cool 00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:41.440 because its last input is a USB-C port 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:48.400 that handles DisplayPort in. Also, those HDMIs will do up to 165 Hz at 4K. 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:56.400 Let's give it a shot. We have literally done this before and yet it still stuns. 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:58.159 The small white setup is just so bright. 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:01.200 Dazzling. Welcome to our new theater room. By the way, we built this in the 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:04.400 lab so we don't have to always drag things to and from my house. How bright 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:09.360 is this thing again? >> Almost 7,000 nits. 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:14.159 >> That's wild. It'll even do 5,000 nits in SDR. So, you end up with a very HDR-l 00:23:12.159 --> 00:23:16.880 like effect even on your older content. Oh, wait. This is already set up from 00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:21.720 last time. >> Forget the setup. Whatever. >> At what point? 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:29.120 At what point is it too much? >> I've talked about this before. I don't 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:33.039 think it can be too much until we reach the point where it looks like real life. 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:37.360 You know, if you're on the bus and the sun catches the glass on a skyscraper, 00:23:35.919 --> 00:23:42.480 >> it can be eye searing. >> It can be very bright. I want bright to 00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:48.480 look bright, not white, you know. Does it have an input button? Yes. Oh, 00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:54.960 >> 30 grand. That's what it takes to buy an input button. >> Also, shout out Highense. They have 00:23:51.760 --> 00:23:57.520 proper on and off for universal remotes 00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:01.200 instead of just power toggle which can be important for getting everything 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:07.600 aligned in there shutting down and turning off. Ah, menu. Thank you. Apply 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:11.039 to all sources. Thank you. Oh, we decided we liked the dynamic color 00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:17.480 enhancer on this one, didn't we? I think on low or medium. Yeah, not on high. 00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.480 It's only $30,000. 00:24:17.760 --> 00:24:23.039 Oh, another big thing. I believe this one supports Dolby Vision. 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:28.080 >> Yeah, that's a big point we didn't mention last time is Samsung is still 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:32.480 stuck with HDR10 and 10 Plus. They do not support Dolby Vision, whereas High 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:36.720 Sense has seen fit to implement both. And that's not just on their $30,000 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:41.120 sets. Samsung's got to get it together on that, man. This is the first TV that 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:46.159 4K content looks not quite sharp enough. >> I was thinking that, too, cuz the PPI we 00:24:43.760 --> 00:24:54.000 are looking at >> It's lower, isn't it? It's This is lower 00:24:49.840 --> 00:24:56.720 than the 32 in 720p TV. We are getting 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:59.360 just about 38 PPI or pixels per inch. >> Nice. 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.400 >> It It definitely looks low res even though it's not. But 00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:05.279 that's our fault. That's not the TVs. >> Yeah, we're just sitting too close. >> Way too close. 00:25:04.320 --> 00:25:09.600 >> God, it's beautiful. >> Yeah, the color is just incredible. 00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:16.240 >> The brightness cuz it's not just the color range. It's the color volume. You 00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:20.640 need brightness to really make HDR content pop off the screen. And this has 00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:23.200 it in spades. This isn't even like that crazy bright of a mastered film either. 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:27.679 >> No, >> but it's still TV gets so bright still. 00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:31.520 >> And it's pretty darn accurate, too. The streamers, they look so good. 00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:36.400 >> And as much as we might have complained because there's only like 3500 local 00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:40.400 dimming zones, realistically, it still looks really good, especially compared 00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:44.960 to just about any other TV. >> Yeah. It just happened to be next to one 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:49.200 that had way more dimming zones, but I can see the I know. Me, too. Hair there. 00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:55.840 >> The next generation of this. >> Oh, yeah. Boom. 00:25:53.120 --> 00:25:59.120 >> This is the closest to looking at actual fireworks that we've been. 00:25:57.360 --> 00:26:02.799 >> We didn't quite measure the 95% to BT2020 they claimed, but I think we hit 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:05.679 like 92 or 93%. >> 93 and change. 00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:10.960 >> It was It was really close. >> It does have other downsides though. 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:16.559 While the input latency is very good, the pixel response times are not. So, 00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:20.880 gaming on this set can be a little smeary looking, especially when you've 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:25.760 got high contrast action on the screen. I was pretty disappointed in that. With 00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:29.080 that said, though, the speakers are a strong point. 00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:35.520 Damn, >> they're still TV speakers, but they're 00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:41.840 way better than all the other TVs we tried. Yes. But at this budget, 00:26:40.159 --> 00:26:46.480 you should get standalone speakers. Oh yeah. I mean, at this point, I feel like 00:26:43.520 --> 00:26:50.799 I'm talking to literally several people. But if you have this kind of budget, and 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:55.919 if you are looking at your various options, OLED Mother Glass has also been 00:26:53.440 --> 00:27:04.080 getting bigger over the years. And LG now has a 97in G5 for about $25,000. It 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:06.720 is smaller and when a regular TV that 00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:11.440 size can be had for just a few thousand, it's kind of a hard sell. But that one 00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:16.960 is probably the largest display on the market that manages truly peak flagship 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:20.559 image quality for the discerning cinnaphile. If you're keen on that or 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:24.720 any of the TVs that we showed off or talked about today, we're going to have them all linked down below. And if you 00:27:23.360 --> 00:27:30.080 want to spend some money on today's sponsor, well, you're going to have to wait for me to say 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:35.200 >> Charge. Their Disc Pro is a portable hub with 4 TB of built-in capacity. But what 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:39.600 does that really mean? Well, now you can carry a 2230 SSD around in your pocket. 00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:43.919 The enclosure is compatible with multiple devices like your PC, Mac, or 00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:48.640 phone. But what makes the Charge Disc Pro extra cool is that it can also work 00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:53.360 as an external hard drive for something like your Steam Deck, ally, or consoles. 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:57.600 Speaking of extra cool, it comes with an adjustable cooling system so you can get 00:27:55.120 --> 00:28:02.159 fast read and write speeds without the SSD overheating. We're talking a max 00:27:59.760 --> 00:28:07.760 read write speed of 10 Gbit per second. That's a fulllength 4K movie in under 2 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:14.880 minutes. The Disc Pro also has four ports with 100 watt input, 80 watt 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.600 output, and HDMI 2.1 as well as one USBC 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:21.679 and two USBA ports. It works with Mags Safe and looks pretty cool with its 00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:25.840 transparent cyberpunk inspired design. It's perfect for creators, gamers, or 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:30.240 just anyone needing a little more space in their life.
