a hole last time we showed you guys a kick
proof TV it was a purpose built one with a kick prooof screen protector built
into the front of it but unfortunately the image quality wasn't that great
thankfully we are back at it again this
time with a kick prooof screen protector
that can be installed on any 55 in t V
now here's the thing a screen protector
is generally designed to prevent incidental scuffs and scratches like
when you've got your phone and your keys in the same pocket at the same time
because you're some sort of monster but it is also possible for a screen
protector to have some impact resistance dbrands prism series for example has
excellent impact resistance as we have tested ourselves now I'm not saying the
screen protect in here is anything like a dbrand prism I'm just saying that it's
not impossible that having like a an
impact spreading layer in the front
could help prevent the glass in the front or the LCD panel behind it from
being cracked if it were struck by something as for my confidence level in
all this well to give you some idea guys
I went out of my way to choose the cheapest 55 in display in our entire ire
Studio because I don't think it's going to live to the end of this
video unfortunately our resident expert Chinese translator Andy is in
self-isolation right now so we're going to have to settle for our second
Stringer so this one
is um this is what I'm talking about I want
Andy back LED LCD LCD um Shell Shell
Shell uh protect your show uh protect
your TV screen show okay does it say what it's made of or anything like
that no just to be careful put this side up what does that mean I have no idea
The Sun Shines outside your house solar power I actually have very little idea
what to expect I mean this is definitely
not something I expected uh oh
boy um did we buy a two pack did it say
anything about two pack on the packaging like that he's still alive I cracked
myself up I think this is two matching
sets of mounting hardware but it's like
an elastic band some plastic things here and like
what are these I assume this QR code
would be a link to a manual or
something unfortunately it seems to be just a link
to download WeChat honestly it doesn't seem like a screen protector at all it
just seems like a normal piece of glass this is really not what I expected
at all
okay how on Earth are you expected to
install this oh wow it's huge
so it's not just the size of the panel
itself it's the size of the entire front of the TV interesting let's start with
what we know for sure and then we can
eliminate possibilities that way this has to go here there's just no way it
goes anywhere else the thing I really don't understand is why does it only
attach on the one side here and of course I'm short some mounting
hardware there can't be only three of these there's only two options there has
to be either two of something to go with the straps or four of something so
there's two why are there three of those
there's only three of the clear screws in this one too how could you possibly
have two of everything else and three
clear screws unless they just know they're crappy and they expect it to
break or something what is even going on here
wait wait the clear ones must be because it's
meant to go on the front of the glass so
maybe there's three holes so one two a
revelation from my camera operator you
have to scan the QR code in we chat wait
what is this this isn't helpful okay here we go so from the chat I just go to
their profile and then moments and in
here there's a guide oh wow thank you
what easy to find most excellent wonderful instructions these are I think
there's just an extra washer just for LOLs
oh well why didn't I think of that look
ladies and gentlemen it's very straightforward you take the clear screw
you put the plastic washer on it you
stick it through the hole like that then then you take another plastic washer you
put it on the back of there and then you screw that
into the front of the bracket how intuitive and secure oh my
goodness I just noticed it's
directional one end of this bracket is longer than the other I got to turn it
around you know hanging the entire weight of this glass panel off this
elastic strap doesn't seem that great actually no now that I think of it um a
lot of the weight's hanging off of these brackets at the top held in place by a
clear plastic bolt okay here it
goes so we got our brackets on the
top we got our straps on the bottom okay
so it hangs off the TV little something like that all right
all right all right I'm with you so far
come around back here I managed to get this right the long Bolt are to secure
the glass against the
TV oh if you had a super thin TV it
actually might not be long enough I don't think no offense if
you're putting something like this on your TV that you have a super thin like
high-end TV though and here it is the
caass okay in the video they put it on here they just hang it off the back of
the bolt but uh we're going to we're going to go One Step better we're going
to put it on the inside there so it at least has a harder time slipping off so
do you want to rage out at it yeah let's do a controller throw shall we
controller throw yeah uh yeah don't get Co you got to sanitize after but yeah
anyway okay uh I would get go a little bit wider but wait hold on um I actually
have very little faith that this is going to work we should both be wearing eye protection one sec here's some
splooge for just put that on the glasses there you go oh okay see I haven't left
my house in 2 weeks so I don't really know all these procedures
yet all I know is wear the mask yeah
okay uh show me your gamer rage that
controller means nothing to me it's a Niko Bluetooth controller yeah yeah
how long did that take to put
on it did save the TV oh yeah that's
Wait no that's looks like is that where you hit it I don't
know I mean there's some Nicks in the TV yeah
all right I mean it's a lot better than if
you had thrown it directly at the TV I mean based on how much of that kinetic
energy turned into shattered glass I would say the controller probably
survived yeah all the plastic is cracked the
hosing you're back on set for literally
5 minutes and you managed to shower me in shards of
glass and we destroyed a controller everything makes sense thanks Luke no
worries all right airm oh nice see it is
this glass still like settling
can you hear the little sounds it's making sorry I don't have much
experience with tempered glass maybe that's perfectly normal but the larger
pieces are still just cracking I haven't
reviewed the clip yet but based on what I can observe about how there's actually
multiple significant scratches in the
display I think that where the
controller Struck it actually doesn't have much to do with where the shards of
glass kind of exploded out words and put scratches in the screen so it seems to
me that the damage was probably more from the screen protector exploding than
actually from the direct impact of the controller although one certainly caused
the other recommended I'm going to give it a
big no on this one bad mounting
mechanism bad instructions and in the event that
something actually goes wrong it sort of goes from bad to worse just like EG ways
have over the years this video is brought to you by I fix it their Mahi
