1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,080
so during the filming of the last season of scrapyard wars jays not to be confused

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:14,320
with the rapper jay-z mentioned that lg had a tv coming that

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,000
they said was good for gaming and i was like

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:23,600
what the hell lg i've been bitching about the input lag

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,160
on your tvs since we met

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,359
why wasn't i told about this and they were like oh yeah so we have this nano

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:37,200
cell tv that's coming out and it has less processing delay so i was like

8
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:41,090
hook me up so i can make a video and they did

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:49,280
so i did

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,480
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you

11
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:03,760
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below

12
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,159
first impressions of the lg 55sj8500

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,479
it looks pretty damn good the bezels are thin and the metal along the outside

14
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,000
looks sharp i mean it's hard to explain exactly what makes a tv aesthetic

15
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,640
work but this design got the job done for us

16
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:24,080
and you know what else looks good anything you toss up on the screen the

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,799
grand tour in 4k with HDR on amazon

18
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:30,720
prime video looks awesome car stuff you can already tell alex

19
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,479
worked on this video and the speakers are reasonably loud and clear

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,520
now to be clear our nano cell tv had the

21
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:44,240
misfortune of being set up side by side

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:47,439
with lg's w7 OLED wallpaper tv and

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,920
it's not as good as that the black

24
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:55,920
levels available on the OLED tv are simply stunning and it is physically

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,360
impossible for any modern lcd screen to

26
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,640
achieve perfect black levels like that

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,280
but at half the price of lg's least

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,200
expensive OLED it's a pretty compelling picture

29
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:14,400
lg's biggest claim for their nano cell tech which seems to be basically their

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,920
branding for quantum dot is accurate colors from any viewing

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:25,120
angle up to 60 degrees which from our testing actually holds up pretty well

32
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:32,160
what they didn't mention though is that the contrast isn't quite as good from a

33
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,200
wider angle from straight on blacks are

34
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,920
well black but as you go to the side

35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,959
black areas of the scene look more gray and less detailed you won't encounter

36
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:47,840
this on an OLED anyway back to the original question though is there any

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,200
credence to the claims that it's good for gaming

38
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,319
well the picture looks significantly less processed in game mode suggesting

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:01,280
that well there might be less processing going on

40
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:04,720
but i still find this claim confusing

41
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,280
as far as pure technology goes the OLED

42
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:12,159
pixels should switch much faster nearly instantaneously

43
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,280
so why would it be then that a more expensive tv would be slower than in any

44
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:25,120
way is it possible that these OLED pixels are harder to drive or

45
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:30,560
there's more processing left on in game mode meaning that the lcd nano cell tv

46
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,319
might be able to edge out a win well we fired up cs go to try them side

47
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,159
by side and see if we could eyeball out

48
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,080
a clear victor and from this completely non-scientific

49
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,599
test it did seem that the nano cell was

50
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:52,159
offering a smoother gaming experience movements felt quicker than the OLED

51
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:56,560
which sort of felt jelly-like in comparison

52
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,599
so to confirm we pulled out the 240fps

53
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,840
camera alright so firing off around we

54
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,879
wait the OLED is faster

55
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,200
we checked this over and over but side by side the OLED was about eight

56
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:17,359
milliseconds faster even stranger the nano cell tv

57
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,600
and our benchmark for true haste the ASUS rog swift 258q at 60 hertz for

58
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,000
fairness were near to identical to each other as

59
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,680
well this seemed a bit strange so we decided

60
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:37,040
to get pure input lag numbers using the makey makey for this test when the two

61
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:41,199
leads are touched together the led on the board lights up and sends a mouse

62
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,919
click to the computer so we can measure the delay between a click and an action

63
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:51,840
on screen after consulting our footage we determined that our OLED delay is

64
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,120
about 32 milliseconds and the nano cell

65
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,360
was about 40. this actually maybe makes

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:03,440
sense given the approximately eight millisecond pixel response times of good

67
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:07,039
lcds compared to near instant for OLED

68
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,440
but that doesn't mean that like a gaming

69
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:15,680
monitor for example can't perform any better than a tv our rog monitor managed

70
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:20,880
a mere 16 millisecond delay once we turned it up to 240 hertz

71
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,960
not to mention the extra frames that it displays man that animation looks good

72
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:32,080
the point of that though isn't to take away from the result of the nano cell tv

73
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,120
i mean sure professional cs go players won't be using one anytime soon but i've

74
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,759
used tvs before with over a hundred milliseconds of input lag that are

75
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,320
straight up nauseating and 40 milliseconds is comparable to a 60

76
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:51,120
hertz gaming monitor we're not quite done with this video yet though

77
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:56,160
why did we initially think that the lcd was faster than the OLED

78
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:59,039
well it turns out that the crazy pixel

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:04,319
response time on the OLED can feel like a disadvantage when you don't have

80
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:09,680
vertical sync on the divisions between the partial frames getting sent to the

81
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:12,479
display are very obvious and it makes

82
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:17,520
for a clear line where the GPU was spitting out the frame at that instant

83
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,280
whereas the slower pixels on the lcd

84
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,440
make it a little bit blurrier and less obvious

85
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:30,240
so then the solution hey lg consult our recent we designed the

86
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,160
perfect tv video and put freaking g-sync

87
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:38,639
on the OLED display then you can have your cake and eat it too but until then

88
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,039
tldr the lg nanocell tv is great for

89
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:47,199
watching tv shows and movies with the added bonus that unlike previous lg tvs

90
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:52,240
they're finally taking gaming seriously so it won't make you hurl when you boot

you're working out running errands or whatever it is that you do in your busy

98

life i'd recommend checking out a song of ice and fire you know what they say
