oh my God here it is guys for the low low
price of $3,000 I got the world's biggest TV
smuggled out of China and let me tell you that was not easy I mean look at the
size of this thing 115 in there is no way you are sneaking
it anywhere it came on a pallet so big
we can't get it off the back of the truck guys I got to give you an idea of the scale of this thing can we get a
normaliz human out here look at
this the part about unboxing it on the truck that's joke right no that was real
we going to have to get this crate off if we're going to get the TV off why why
can't we just put it on the lift that's too big it's too big for the lift how
are we going to get it open for context guys this Beast is triple the size of
the best selling TVs in North America and you can't even get it here why well
China has put it on its no export
list give this the
old okay uh I was kind of thinking you
know there's probably some padding in the crate some extra it's right there
you know what's funny though is I've seen this IMAX enhanced badge on things
including my laptop but this is the first thing I've seen it on where I'm
like that makes
sense why aren't you available able in
North America okay we do have some theories
about that we're going to talk about them later
though okay I think I got
it oh yeah it's not going to fall well
we wanted it to fall oh no it's going to fall oh it's going to fall it's going to
fall now and now I'm
stuck too wide for the truck okay so
maybe we won't wait until later for all of these one of our theories is that
it's simply too large for the logistics
system that currently exists for transporting TVs around the world never
mind getting it to the store how is the customer supposed to get this thing
home
okay now getting this off the truck is going to be fun the package is around
230 lb it's got a handle here though
up the bottom coming up the bottom of
the TV oh yeah it totally is this is just in tape this whole so we need to
have the wooden pallet small problem this is a lift over the oh wait have we
done the sponsor read no we haven't oh no we were supposed to get into the
basement a lot faster okay well why don't we segue to our sponsor thorum
check out their rings and watches made from unique materials like gibian
meteorite it's not too late to buy yourself or a loved one something
special this holiday season so go to to thor. comom and use code LT to get 20%
off small problem it looks like the TV was supposed to stay on this bottom
pallette and we were supposed to remove the thing securing it to the other
pallet now we have no real way of moving it because it's a slide off the top
style box and um we don't have new
straps to wrap it back together one two
three oh my gosh all right all right oh
my my feet yeah my feet my foot here got it
got it okay the driver said oh it's not too heavy which I think says a lot about
about the driver and a lot about us as
well cuz we're dying up
here that's not what I expected to happen
you race me
up you you are you
okay yeah yeah we're good
woo how the hell are we going to get this into the house do you have a cart
no if this was in the shape of a barbell I could lift it yeah yeah yeah sure Adam
okay how's that we're on the pallet you know what the good news is that when you
buy this in China it comes with free installation you imagine if this TV got
water damaged before we get it in there that's a like diagonal size and then
what's this uh kilogram so
171 but that's like 400 lb is that that must be the Fright weight that's like
for the entire packaging this is 171 kg which is way higher than what they had
on the website yeah that explains why it was impossible to move yeah because
that's 400 lb and that's a manufacturer date so it's pretty freaking new W
pretty new this was made 52 days ago oh
Li I have a news yeah uh you definitely don't have warranty oh how do you know
it has to be TCL authorized like installation we're definitely not TCL
authorized TCL please authorize us okay
watch out you're hitting the column on the way in you know what we can get all
the way to what like 140 150 in before it wouldn't get through the door I think
that's probably too small yeah yeah we're fine go bigger oh wow that's uh
some that's in that's some nice cardboard juice that thankfully scraped
off before it got in the house got any more of those Band-Aids uh no stepped on a nail I just
want to appreciate the scale of this thing how big do you think this TV is
relative to the size of that box 55 in
65 this is a 75 in in
TV the thing about diagonal measurements
is that it's nonlinear a 65 in TV is way
bigger than a 55 in TV and a 115 in TV
well it's stupid what do you think of our new
TV here here come help me try to move
it tving okay there we go
it weighs almost 200 kilog oh my go I'm
pretty impressed that we could move it at all then I wasn't helping you did
great don't mind
us it's worth noting guys that there are
Home displays that you can buy that are larger the difference is that for
something like a Samsung the wall it comes in a multi-panel assembly that you
then stitch together so while there are no Bez
it's not really the same as this single pane of glass one piece display there's
five tiers of energy label thingy so
this is like apparently top tier okay green what does that even mean though we
haven't really talked speeds and feeds it's 5,000 nit brightness we have no
idea what kind of window size that's going to be but if it's even 5% 2% yeah
it's going to be ice hearing so here on there it says four Candelas per watt a
Candela is equal to a knit 5,000 nits that means that this TV can pull 1250
Watts at this stage if we try to do the review of the TV in this video it's
going to be a feature film so this is just going to be unboxing and we're
going to try it out and then I mean we're going to run this thing through
its Paces right yeah I mean it sounds like it's an actually incredible TV
second video by the way speaking of second videos LMG g/f Floatplane we're
definitely going to have some extras from this one over there hey I want is
only point5 watt okay I'm not sure if I 100% believe that but if it's anywhere
near that that does away with one of our other theories for why it couldn't be
exported out of China which was maybe that it wouldn't meet International
Energy Efficiency
requirements oh okay
cool big reveal uh wait are we ever transporting
this thing back to the office you guys wanted this for a video wall for like
virtual production well yeah but I was kidding really I have a 3D projector
screen in my garage I haven't even installed yet no way no way does it come
with a box for it yeah come on we yo the
TV in here is huge wow okay hey L you
took got a brand new room yeah
does it have vasea mounting no what it
does not are you serious at least there is no evidence anywhere on their website
of documentation that they have it they have a proprietary mounting scheme oh my
look at the size of these screws look at the size of
this um hey lonus yo this is actually
pretty useful what is it that's the marking for where you mount the uh holes
oh perfect let's hold on to that holy crap it is not thin yeah wow
wow she's a trunky boy I appreciate this
I hate I hate thin TVs that are fat at the bottom it's just a lie it's stupid
make it thick the whole way put better speakers in you heard that he likes them
thick damn straight love you
shay
dude if we were hoping that a lot of the weight of the box was the stand or
something
I really hope that the stand isn't sold separately before you pull off this foam
there's one more bit whoa what are you
buddy you get a TV and some fun
toys you can't use that it needs a flared base it's very important the the
factory floor space just to pack this thing is nonsensical which actually was
one of our other theories maybe the volume that they can produce of this
thing is so low that they just can't serve the market outside of China with
it that and it's an unproven Market that's true will people even buy
something like this with all the challenges that are associated with
it look at oh whoo whoo whoo hey first
look oh it's so
big by the way I saw something on the back that I think you're going to like
check this out enio Ultra base backfiring
subwoofers what does this even mean they
call it a 6.2.2 system so two two subs and two top
firing speakers I guess you know I think they're really stretching the term if
you can afford this TV and you use your onboard speakers I cut you I like this
grid wait is that is this part of the TV or is this part of the alignment thing
that's the T I like it less than we did before
that's oh their handles wo
genius oh wow and it's got a thing
through it so you can uh one moment please are these like are these like
Furniture feet Adam I can't think about that right now I'm busy putting handles
on my TV oh it has face it says it has
the um the the base I don't realistically think we are getting this
all the way on the wall today I think that's part of the I wasn't even loading
it planning on putting it on your wall I didn't bring Hardware like yeah I
thought we would put it on the feet that I thought it came with ah that I hope it
still comes with that I hope it's coming with uh must be somewhere we got we got
one piece of foam left to remove I really don't think that one
contains feet
guys it occurs to me we haven't had a look at the io yet this oh wait hey how
you doing HDMI port for scale oh my God I was kind of expecting this
remember I talked about this when we were talking about the video and I was like oh we should do like H my port for
skills it looks like mini HDMI I even
knew it was going to happen and it's still it doesn't look like a proper HDMI
port technically they're all 2.1 but also they all have different uh specs oh
that's because they changed HDMI 2.1 if you have certain parts of the spec
everything's HDMI 2.1 now so the ones that are high bandwidth are number one
and two at 4K 144 and 4K 1220 and then
HDMI 4 does EC and HDMI 3 is like your I
don't know like your chomecast into it well you're in China so you're Ali
xiaomi box xiaomi box there okay I like
how HDMI really looked at USB and said yeah that's a good way of naming stuff
is this a coax or an they have an aerial
oh an aerial yeah cuz I guess is there still broadcast television no way no way
it has an AV Jack you could plug a
composite input into this thing hell yeah you better hope there's a good
upscaler on this could you imagine 1080p at this size even 4K at this size yeah
it's actually it's it's 38
PPI I've got the wattage now it's 1,000
Watts 900 50 Watts so they have these little hooks that come out so you can
hang the TV and then as the weight like from the TV so then you can hook onto
there and then they just fold back in that's a right but did they include
feet no no no uh
okay this is a step up and Step Down Transformer basically what it does is it
takes whatever Outlet you plug into and it will be able to Output either 220
volts or 1 10 volts so it's easy to convert between uh either side if you're
plugging in something that's only sold across the world you know how many people have bought
this TV from like the tabba official store two really one of two baby let's
go let's go like sold two I can't
believe they show that it's
us oh my god wow their splash screen
looks like ass at this size it seems
novelty sized like it seems not real you
know well that's a real TV one that's on
the TV
yeah okay so you know whatever 22 30
that's a 30in ass monitor so we have the
tagline the legend of the giant screen at the top of 10,000 elephants
which Andy has translated so basically
what we assume that they're trying to say is that it's like it's like elephant
sized TV and it's like the peak of TVs
it's like the best and the biggest Peak off like imagery stealing Apple's
branding they're calling this an xdr display oh really extreme dynamic range
uh which is not true cuz the HDR spec goes up to 10,000 nits still HDR still
HDR here's the biggest one that it's tough to figure out an A++ butterfly
wing star screen mhm no I don't know
yeah it's the structure of the LED panel thing that they have yeah so when we go
down here to the butterfly section we discover that it's
a VA panel oh which is totally common for
displays especially a lot of TVs yeah but I wish for gaming that it was not
144 htz interesting I don't think I've seen
a TV rated above 120 before oh yeah
that's right when I was looking at the ports yeah there's one port that I guess
you could use a PC for the input and just manually configure none of this
explains why they can't export it from the country so here's my
theory it's because this is a micr lens
array TV wasn't this my theory what but
go ahead take it well okay I add it to your theory anyway it's a micr lens
array which is a technology that is owned by LG ntcl is not LG but LG only
has the patent for that in the EU and in North America they don't have it
in China so TCL took their micro lens
array Tech which from my understanding boosts brightness and viewing angle cuz
it's basically a little lens on top of
every pixel or every sub pixel every pixel so maybe it's that it's too close
they don't want to deal with a potential legal battle so why even bother getting
it certified to export from China especially because probably of all the
other things we talked about already the good news is MLA patent expires in 2025
this is great TV placement
desktop oh my God you need the phone number do I have to like WeChat log in
oh no shut up what it asked for a phone
number does it have to be a Chinese phone number
oh just wake up Dad it's like five it's
512 now we got it we got it thanks Dad
what is this uh it's uh pairing the uh pairing
process for your remote is this Google TV no definitely
not Google TV there's no Google in China
they de Google it but they can still use the Android yeah so it might be Android
TV but not Google for sure wow I don't even know hold on is
that in or not yeah wait why is this not working oh it is working I have it
watching a 10-hour YouTube video of white oh what what the Adam this is
totally non-scientific we're going to test it prop we can also we should turn the light we
should turn the other the filming light yeah let's lose the light we probably got enough light in here anyway holy
it's at
42% oh my oh my gosh oh look at how soft
the lighting is this is 2400
luck that's insane I can actually see
the green blue and red sub pixels like
easily to the naked eye but at the
distance that you would be viewing a TV like this no problem in fact yeah why
did I even say before that 4K is not enough because it's a function of screen
size and also Distance by the time you're so far away from it it should be
fine are you kidding me it wasn't in bright mode this is so cool you can
automatically set your HDR mode I have
never seen that before not on a consumer
TV sure on like a a monitor for
professional work that is so cool so you don't have to rely on it to detect It
Black Box bouncing in white screen screen test oh dimming zones they claim
20,000 but that doesn't really make sense from what we know about other TVs
from other companies that are being released next year our guess is that
they're taking the number of LEDs per chip and they're conflating that so if
you divide it by the six LEDs per chip that they have on this TV yeah it
becomes like 3 4,000 which is in line with what we expect from most TV
manufacturers with that said there is some Bloom around it but
this is a worst case scenario in content
I actually don't know if this is going to be a problem I feel like a kid like I
do feel like a child at this point yeah I I feel like I'm at a different scale
yeah or like the first role all FL a theater I am actually really impressed
by the convincingness of the surround so far
like holy actual
um Can manually set it to Dolby Atmos so let's see if that helps yeah not really
feeling the rumble there nope it looks like we won't be
evaluating sound right now but what we can do is put on something visually
stunning like Disney's Encanto and see how it looks what always blows my mind
is here watch this just look at the rainbow over there and SP up the
particle okay that looks
incredible I feel like the motion Clarity isn't quite there compared to
like I'm used to an OLED TV at this point and also maybe it's just the scale
makes it more noticeable I think so we're sitting really close it's also oh
that looks so good though
wow there is no question that this
absolutely crushes the experience of any projector though yeah yeah you simply
cannot I mean in HDR you simply cannot
have highlights like that out of a projector wow wow here it comes here it
comes
wow if it was 3 years ago I would say
yeah it's kind of competitive but the way that oleds have come down it's tough
that's tough if we don't think about it in the realm of TVs think about it in
the realm of projector replacement well then it's not that far off that is
considered to be the bang for the buck
HDR projector it's like $6,000 right
that screen that's another couple Grand at that point do you spend another few
grand and have a TV yeah maybe man it's like you can't
really put that in your living room and well watch it have your window on not at
all that's another thing to factor in is I can install my own projector but most
people people are going to have a professional come and install their projector and given that installation
which is also required here is included in the price well hey that's another
probably at least a few hundred bucks if you want a professional to come in and do a really good job of it from a more
comfortable distance you don't notice the motion clarity as much either I'm
sure there was a better way to do this we're at 370 wat what's going on right
now uh the the splash screen 780 That's
the menu wow 800 w at bright mode in SDR we're getting
around 450 and then in HDR we're getting just shy of 800 watts from the wall
which is absolutely wild even if you factor in that we have to convert from
120 volt to uh 220 or whatever it is I
think I have more questions about this thing than I had when we started but I
think that's going to have to wait for the long-term impressions in
review just like you're going to have to wait to hear about our
