Okay, hear me out. You know what'd be cool? Movie night, but in the pool, like outside. Yeah, like with the projector
Yeah, this feels like when you asked me to put a TV in the bedroom
You begged for years and you used it one time So just make a video if they can find a sponsor. I'll do it. They're not gonna find a sponsor. I found a sponsor
What? Okay, fine, but we're gonna do this
I'm doing it my way. Sick movie watching experience, but easy to deploy and
Tear down and talk away for when my family inevitably doesn't flip a use it
And we're gonna do it with the C2 Ultra 4k projector from Highsense and my world-class team of helpers
That's me. No extra holes. No promises. Do you want to drill the holes? I do not trust myself
Why do you always sound surprised with these things? Come on. Let's go
After I was assigned to this video my first task was to actually figure out more details from Avon
How big of a screen does she want? How important is sound? You know that kind of thing and oh, oh
Too late Now that we're committed then we need to come up with a plan for where all of this is getting mounted
We were originally thinking hot tub viewing But that limits the number of people who can watch and
Realistically you can't hang out in the hot tub for an hour and a half at a time
So instead of mounting the screen here, we settled on the longer beam right over here except looking at it now
I think that's actually really stupid and we should probably put it on that one. Why?
Because you could totally see this from the shallow end of the pool anyway. Yeah, but you want to be in the deep end
Why? Jaws the experience of Jaws
I've never seen it Realistically we could put it anywhere we want though because it actually reaches 300 inches in size thanks to its 3000 lumens
Now to be clear that's not enough for daylight viewing
But as we make our way into the evening, it's gonna make a big difference to the perceived contrast
The screen was actually really difficult to find mainly because I was looking for two key things
One of Avon's requirements Oh Was that it needed to be a drop-down screen so that way it could be moved out of the way whenever she wanted it
And the other one was a rear projection screen because I don't want the projector in the pool
Right or out in the rain. You guys might have noticed you live in Vancouver. Our weather isn't always
Wait, it's powered. Yeah Why'd you get a powered one? Well, I because you know you can hit a button and it goes up and down
Yeah, but then we have to wire it up. Yeah, you you got power right there. Dude. I know you follow the bonds requirements
What about my requirements? Your requirements was a sponsor and thankfully elite screens sent this over they recommended the hundred inch so that it's big enough for
Movie enjoyment, but not so big that we lose some of that brightness from going too far back
Okay, so just roll it up put it on the tip then unroll it. I'm working on it
You gotta tend sex ed class I just can't believe yardmasters an actual line of projector screens and this is longer than a yard. What's a yard?
a meter American meter question for you. Have you given any thought to how we're gonna handle power for now both the projector and the screen?
Yeah, you have an extension cord and then I have a power bar. Oh, okay. I have thought about it not much but a bit
Why don't you go ahead and run that and then I'm gonna go take a look at the projector sounds good inside the box
We find the remote complete with probably the app shortcuts
You would actually use as well as a power cable and the star of the show the C2 ultra the mount swivels
and tilts giving you a ton of versatility and it even has a quarter 20 inch threaded hole on the bottom if you wanted to
Sealing mounted or put it on a light stand or whatever the case may be or if you don't want to mount it
You can pick it up and move it to any room in your house and the auto key stoning. You'll see in a second
We'll fix that You
Here we go Theoretically it should look pretty good
It uses high-sense this pure tricolor laser Which is a fancy way of saying that it uses three laser lights and then combines them before they shoot out the lens
This contributes to a brighter picture than conventional lamp projectors and even than some single laser ones
High-sense also boasts much better color accuracy with a delta e of about point nine. Oh, here we go
Oh, I love that auto image correction with cameras on the front
Oh, I probably shouldn't do that with the keystone done You can see it's doing autofocus now and having a look at the IO. It's pretty solid
They've got two HDMI ports including one with E arc and some USB ports for media file playback
Naturally, we're gonna be streaming most of our media So let's go ahead and get logged in and first of all have you come down to check on your completely impractical project?
No I know you tell me
But it never be said that I've never done anything for love
Using just whatever magnets Linus had left. We actually took the cable right it along here
Underneath the floor mat and all the way up To here but now I need to mount the screen
So I know actually where that cable is coming out, which is why we've ended it here for now
But I don't know it looks looks pretty slick dude. This looks pretty good
And the brightness is apparently at 50
That is really not making much difference, let's put it back to 50. Oh here we go
It's cranked. This might be kind of usable. Yeah
They also partnered with Dolby and I max for Dolby vision and I max enhanced certification employee movie nights
Let's go. You don't want to sit in the pool. I will fight you on this
You got an ear infection last time you swam in the pool. Maybe clean your pool. My pool was clean
Yeah, I just didn't get the water out. Your ear was dirty
Wow, you did a really good job of the cable management while we were in there. Why do you always sound surprised with these things?
Best part about modern cases Please do not tell Linus. I put like five extra holes in someone's wall. What?
and It meets my requirement of being able to be tucked away easily because it's all using our magnetic cable management stuff heck
Yeah, boop boop Sick
I couldn't help noticing you didn't finish though Well, we need to mount the screen because I don't know where the cable comes out of that screen to be able to route to that point got it
I'm fine. Okay. I don't know what my hand was there. Why is there a camera here? Well, we need two angles for later
When we're in the pool relaxing, we're not going in the pool today. Are we it's a pool movie theater
We have to test it cold and raining. Well, you're not gonna notice the rain because you're in the pool
You know, it's not heated this time of year, right turn the computers on isn't that how you eat it? I
Think we're ready to drill some holes There you go. There's one. Well, I mean you got it. No, did you got to check the size? I'm aware, sir
I just gave you the where sir what you turn into you like wear a suit at the full moon
Do you want to hold the projector or do you want to drill the holes? I'm holding the projector screen because I do not trust myself
Okay, so like there sure wait did you measure it? What do you mean?
Like did you get a measuring tape? Like do you actually know or are you just well? I ball in it
No, we're not eyeball. Oh my goodness
362 so that's 181 181 is our mark and then conveniently
There's a little thumbtack in here from putting up decorations for some birthday party
So I'm just gonna use that as our center mark. Well, that's not 181. I know so I'm gonna move it. Okay. We're gonna go right
Hold on. Let's see. I need to go all the way up. I'm going for it
I
Mean good is a really really strong word to describe what that is, but I think we can get the other side up there
I'm working on it. I'm working here. This is really bad. This is very bad. Why we're gonna have an extra hole
And it wasn't me Hold on. Okay, just let it down. Let it down. We're gonna you know what we're gonna go for gold here
At least it's kind of level
Let's find the auto keystone. He will fix it
Okay, we're ready. Oh, look at that. Here we go boys. I
Think it might need to be turned around Elijah, you know what? No, this makes sense
No, this makes sense because the facing on this is this way. I was just gonna say so this has got to be it
Okay, we're good. We got it. We have to because if you were gonna wall mount it
This is on the side you would wall mount it. Yeah, and then you would see the yeah
Okay, good pretty sure this is right elite if we got it wrong
Send me an email now. I really don't know if I want to commit to mounting this projector up there yet
I think I need to see it in action first. So for now I'm just gonna use that quarter 20 mount and throw on a tripod that might actually be usable
No way this is pretty sick. It's not even that dark out right now
Could you imagine like in the summer super late at night pitch blackout? We definitely don't have it perfectly level
No, no, no, there's there's still alignment things to do. Okay. What's that? Okay?
I think we can adjust this Elijah move it a little farther away. Oh, here we go. Oh nice
Okay, I definitely need it bigger. Oh, there's a little bit. Oh, stop. Don't touch it. There's water. Don't touch it
Don't touch it. This might be usable
I'm so happy. Do you want to get in the pool and test or get in the pool? We haven't even set up the audio yet
Oh, yeah, but we wanted to test the speakers that are included. It's got 2.1. That whole base is a sub
I don't think I need to be in the pool for that. Okay. What am I trying to do again crab rave?
No, I'm trying to change the language and location
Germany yeah, there's your problem right there. I said it so no one could dox you. I
Yeah, wait Canada's not even option. Hi, I said sense
Oh, we must have gotten a euro model. Okay. I don't know whatever we're in the UK. I
Mean we could set up speakers. Yeah, but this is only center channel. We want surround
What was your plan exactly I saw a receiver there. Yes, were you gonna like ceiling mount that or like what?
No, no, it's this through. Yeah, it's easy to roll up and pack away. So we'll just put it on a chair and
Then we'll cut speaker wire for speakers that I bought off Facebook Marketplace. I'll just drag them in the yard
I thought this through I probably should have expected that he wouldn't want to go with the speaker route
That's not really easy to pull out and easy to put away, you know, especially a big sub like this
But I also didn't expect him to actually get in the pool So I guess I actually need to get to inflating the pool floaties. I bought about four of them. Oh
Man, the rain is really coming down. Are you sure this is a good idea Elijah?
100% confident. Oh
Good, oh great You put it over there. Well, you can get in from the ladder
This is so unpleasant dude. No, no, you're gonna like it. Once you use it
Come back. There's a hole in the middle where your butt gets in the water. No, I'm not coming back
No, I need the other one get your own Look push me push me
Not into it. How am I supposed to get it back to you now? Oh, I'll go from the other side
Can you spin me? No, how am I supposed to spin you I see a flaw now
Okay, hold on. Maybe if I like stick my foot through the dome up hole I can kind of it's propellers
No, no, it works dude. It works. All right. It works. Oh, dude. No, I'm so maneuverable now
All right. Oh, dude, these have hooks we can hook each other neutral hooker. Nice. Nice and pull you now
I don't have to do anything we have the power
Dude, this is awesome
It actually looks shockingly good. Oh
Oh Man normally I'm against like r slash TV too high. Yeah, like this would be too high
But when you're reclined this much, it's kind of fine. Does it look pretty good on camera Andy? It's a little bright
It's a little bright a little bright. That's actually a good thing. I'm not sure if I can fix that Andy
This is so ridiculous. Do you want to try some gaming? Yeah, I guess so. No, I want the Alpha seat
No, I want the opposite you move at this distance. There's a little bit of input latency
On the controller. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, hold on. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Get me closer
I'm working on it. I can't kill demons
Even with like the pool lights on and stuff. It doesn't really bother it
I thought the extra city lighting would honestly be more but like it's pretty good. Yeah
All right, Elijah, I got to give it to you. It's pretty sick
All right, thank you for convincing me and thank you high sense for sending the projector and sponsoring this video
If you guys enjoyed this video, why not go check out our coverage of the high sense booth back at CES
We looked at their 110 inch TV that a little birdie told me I might be getting a closer look at very soon
