WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:08.080
so during the filming of the last season of scrapyard wars jays not to be confused

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:14.320
with the rapper jay-z mentioned that lg had a tv coming that

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:18.000
they said was good for gaming and i was like

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.600
what the hell lg i've been bitching about the input lag

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.160
on your tvs since we met

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

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:37.200
cell tv that's coming out and it has less processing delay so i was like

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:41.090
hook me up so i can make a video and they did

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:49.280
so i did

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:56.480
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:03.760
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.159
first impressions of the lg 55sj8500

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.479
it looks pretty damn good the bezels are thin and the metal along the outside

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.000
looks sharp i mean it's hard to explain exactly what makes a tv aesthetic

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.640
work but this design got the job done for us

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:24.080
and you know what else looks good anything you toss up on the screen the

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:26.799
grand tour in 4k with HDR on amazon

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:30.720
prime video looks awesome car stuff you can already tell alex

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:36.479
worked on this video and the speakers are reasonably loud and clear

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.520
now to be clear our nano cell tv had the

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:44.240
misfortune of being set up side by side

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:47.439
with lg's w7 OLED wallpaper tv and

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:49.920
it's not as good as that the black

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:55.920
levels available on the OLED tv are simply stunning and it is physically

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:59.360
impossible for any modern lcd screen to

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.640
achieve perfect black levels like that

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.280
but at half the price of lg's least

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:09.200
expensive OLED it's a pretty compelling picture

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:14.400
lg's biggest claim for their nano cell tech which seems to be basically their

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:19.920
branding for quantum dot is accurate colors from any viewing

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:25.120
angle up to 60 degrees which from our testing actually holds up pretty well

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

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.200
wider angle from straight on blacks are

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:37.920
well black but as you go to the side

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:42.959
black areas of the scene look more gray and less detailed you won't encounter

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.840
this on an OLED anyway back to the original question though is there any

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.200
credence to the claims that it's good for gaming

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:54.319
well the picture looks significantly less processed in game mode suggesting

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:01.280
that well there might be less processing going on

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.720
but i still find this claim confusing

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.280
as far as pure technology goes the OLED

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:12.159
pixels should switch much faster nearly instantaneously

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

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:25.120
way is it possible that these OLED pixels are harder to drive or

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:30.560
there's more processing left on in game mode meaning that the lcd nano cell tv

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

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:38.159
by side and see if we could eyeball out

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.080
a clear victor and from this completely non-scientific

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.599
test it did seem that the nano cell was

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:52.159
offering a smoother gaming experience movements felt quicker than the OLED

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:56.560
which sort of felt jelly-like in comparison

00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:57.599
so to confirm we pulled out the 240fps

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.840
camera alright so firing off around we

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.879
wait the OLED is faster

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:11.200
we checked this over and over but side by side the OLED was about eight

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:17.359
milliseconds faster even stranger the nano cell tv

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:21.600
and our benchmark for true haste the ASUS rog swift 258q at 60 hertz for

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.000
fairness were near to identical to each other as

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.680
well this seemed a bit strange so we decided

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:37.040
to get pure input lag numbers using the makey makey for this test when the two

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.199
leads are touched together the led on the board lights up and sends a mouse

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.919
click to the computer so we can measure the delay between a click and an action

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:51.840
on screen after consulting our footage we determined that our OLED delay is

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.120
about 32 milliseconds and the nano cell

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.360
was about 40. this actually maybe makes

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:03.440
sense given the approximately eight millisecond pixel response times of good

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:07.039
lcds compared to near instant for OLED

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.440
but that doesn't mean that like a gaming

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:15.680
monitor for example can't perform any better than a tv our rog monitor managed

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:20.880
a mere 16 millisecond delay once we turned it up to 240 hertz

00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:26.960
not to mention the extra frames that it displays man that animation looks good

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

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

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.759
used tvs before with over a hundred milliseconds of input lag that are

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:46.320
straight up nauseating and 40 milliseconds is comparable to a 60

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:51.120
hertz gaming monitor we're not quite done with this video yet though

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:56.160
why did we initially think that the lcd was faster than the OLED

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:59.039
well it turns out that the crazy pixel

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:04.319
response time on the OLED can feel like a disadvantage when you don't have

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:09.680
vertical sync on the divisions between the partial frames getting sent to the

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:12.479
display are very obvious and it makes

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:17.520
for a clear line where the GPU was spitting out the frame at that instant

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:19.280
whereas the slower pixels on the lcd

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.440
make it a little bit blurrier and less obvious

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:30.240
so then the solution hey lg consult our recent we designed the

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.160
perfect tv video and put freaking g-sync

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

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:41.039
tldr the lg nanocell tv is great for

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:47.199
watching tv shows and movies with the added bonus that unlike previous lg tvs

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:52.240
they're finally taking gaming seriously so it won't make you hurl when you boot

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:56.960
