this is my living room and it's basically a tech nerd's dream giant OLED
tv valve index vr gaming setup with full
body tracking high performance gaming pc
game consoles six consoles enough controllers to choke a horse
but it's missing one key thing
looks so today with the help of lg who
sponsored this video and sent over their g10 gallery 77-inch OLED tv we're gonna
be giving my living room something that it hasn't had in 10 years a clean new
look starting with those couches
i cannot believe how much of a difference it makes going from dark to
light flooring and now that it's in we can move on to the important stuff
this is the new g10
gallery design lg OLED in the 77 inch
size and it's going to take up pretty much this whole
recessed area here it's completely flush
mount with no external processing box so it's actually going to sit really nicely
in this enclosure and we're not going to have the big bulky speakers and
everything kind of like overflowing and looking weird anymore
many of the benefits of the g10 are ones that i already enjoyed with my last
generation c9 it uses OLED technology which means that
every pixel is self-illuminating so you've got perfect black levels vibrant
colors all that good stuff it's 4k so obviously the picture is
super sharp even though this is a gigantic 77-inch display it features
HDMI 2.1 which means high refresh rate
gaming not to mention with g-sync compatibility at up to 4k resolution and
e-arc which means higher resolution higher quality audio to something like
an external sound bar and of course the design is super thin
and modern actually more so on this one i'm used to seeing these tvs have either
like a a bulge down at the bottom
or like an external you know sound bar unit
that contains the processing like we saw on their first generation signature
series but this one is just
uniformly pretty thin and one of the reasons they
took this approach is there are actually four different ways to mount the g10 the
way we're going with today is using the included wall mount and running cable
through the wall with a conduit but if you're not feeling confident in cutting
holes in your wall you can use a raceway cable concealer to hide the cables
if you do want to get the true flush mount with no gaps you'll need to use a
recessed box that goes into the wall but that one will require professional
installation the last two ways to install are using a
standard vasa 300x300 wall mount just make sure it's rated to handle the tv's
weight and finally if you're not able to mount the g10 to the wall you can buy
their display stand and have it sit where you want it though i can't say i
see the point of going with the g10 if you're gonna do it that way even lg's
magic remote with its air mouse controls
handy shortcut keys and multi-device control capabilities is mostly carried
over from last time so what it really
comes down to is the new alpha 9 gen 3
processor the processor powers everything from the hey lg voice control
to the snappiness of the interface but the biggest one is improvements to its
ability to ai upscale lower resolution content to the native 4k resolution of
this panel and intelligently select which sound profile
it should be in depending on the type of content for example amplifying voices
when there's a bunch of background noise in whatever it is that you're viewing
i guess i would have been a lot smarter to peel it after it's already on the wall
hey so which wall mount was i supposed
to use for this
i don't see one that comes with it there's no
come think of it i don't see any accessories i don't even see the remote
oh
dang it i've done this before yep
there it is it has some other features like virtual support for dolby atmos
sports alert which will give you updates on up to 20 teams even while you're
watching other content and improved motions moving but since i'm going to be
using a higher end soundbar than the integrated speakers and i don't watch
sports those ones aren't nearly as big a deal to me as dolby vision iq which
automatically adjusts picture settings depending on ambient light and content
and this is a really big one for me filmmaker mode which is a mode you can
put the tv in where it will just strip out any image quality altering filters
or anything like that and just display the content as color accurately and as
true to the original filmmaker's vision as possible i'm just putting the
sides on the entertainment unit right now um
what do you think of the color andy yeah okay cool i was a little worried
when i first saw it be gentle that's not gentle i'm i'm gentle let's
eyeball it come down a little bit yeah okay that's fine but come down a
little bit you're higher than me i no i am not higher than that
evon is higher really yeah yeah kick how about now that's good
fine i was actually really worried if all of
your stuff was gonna fit in here like your receiver uh we're not using the
receiver anymore that worked out well that's where this
comes in now the next thing we need to figure out
tv height is the sound bar i know a lot of people are going to give
me a hard time about this but when you're deciding between discrete
speakers for every channel and a sound bar
there's more to it than just necessarily the audio quality and the directionality
and i've actually been pretty impressed with the last couple of high-end sound
bars that i've tried so i have pretty high hopes for the sn11 rg from lg here
it's a 7.1.4 setup but
because of the setup of my room like i don't really have anywhere to put rear
speakers by the time i'm sitting a comfortable distance from a tv that large so funny
story then i'm not even actually planning to use the included wireless
surround speakers that come with this thing just the sound bar itself and the
subwoofer i want to at least give it a shot because compared to the old setup
i'm expecting much better directionality because this is a dolby atmos sound bar
with like you know ai room measuring technology so
it should theoretically by you know bouncing sound
off the ceiling and off the walls should sound a lot more directional i
find it very hard to believe that this tiny little bracket holds up that
gigantic tv those are pretty hefty anchors though that's a bummer my stud
is right there and
right there so if we were willing to have it not
quite centered in this all clove hey yeah are we willing to have it not
quite centered in the all clove um how close
is it not that close be like
this far off that would be weird yeah i don't even
know if it would fit what i can do is i can create like a mounting plate but
then it's not going to be flush against the wall no it won't be quite flush but
like the tv is so flat it's dead can you go hold on make sure it works
it's not working
there huh i could hang off that
please don't ah you're gonna break my entertainment unit
well would you not be entertained ready ah wait wait what what no i didn't
i just asked you and you put your head through it's right here
just messing around what if we ever took it down and what if
we moved and we wanted to mount the tv again we're not keeping this piece of
paper until we move and need to know you're not it's garbage
stop no no for real no really okay um can i have a phillips head bit
yeah that one cross i know that one
it's fine i can just hold this thing here forever
okay that
is a solid mount i want to put a hole in the wall to run the cables down the wall
so we've got to completely clean them um shouldn't we but
now a few moments later
okay it's in oh so you want to do that again hey
hey that was pretty smooth now that we got
technique down it doesn't look crooked
how did that happen do we need the instructions where are
the instructions we don't need instructions our wall is just not even oh well now we
know it's a little high
we can lower it aren't you glad we're doing this test
okay we're going to cut the hole this time we're not doing this a third time yeah 100 okay okay so how many inches do
we need to come down to let's try not to sever an optical cable
while we're doing this just to be clear neither i nor lg
recommends running cables without the proper recessed box if you want to run
the cables in the wall it's really better to just have a professional come in and do it for you
this is a tough decision one of the ideas that i had to make this as clean
as possible was to move my vr gaming rig upstairs kind of like what i
experimented with in whole house uh one
pc so we've got a bunch more displayport
couplers so we could have both of these optical DisplayPort cables running
through the wall into just like a little wall plate and plug the vr headset to
the wall plate i don't have a ton of confidence the DisplayPort over that
distance is going to behave nicely and there are advantages to having the pc
right there if you want to just you know plug something in or whatever if we want
all the cables pre-plugged into the tv before we mount it
that means i'm gonna have to salvage some cables from the old setup
to save some time later i'm actually plugging in every cable i'm going to
need now and then all i need to do
is label them on the other end so this is HDMI connection number one
and it'll be easy to make sure everything's plugged into the right port on the tv without like pulling it out
and trying to look under it like that okay that's good
down nope oh yep in in that's it yep you're good oh
that was so much easier second time around there's a lot of cable here
ladies and gentlemen all right this is perfect i can start to
mount things to the back of the console and cable manage i've made the difficult
decision to leave the optical cables in the wall
but actually still have everything here for now in the future i might explore
adding an optical HDMI and maybe having a receiver upstairs and
the computer upstairs and stuff like that but for now i just want to get
everything cleaned up and then i can experiment with that down the line we're
going straight to just hot glue
you can at least improve your chances of it sticking by scuffing up the back a
little bit before you put it on
oops oh well at least it was sheathed
right i want the vr headset to be tucked in
here when it's not in use
all right liz we need to go over here ah
totally painless love it
i love it when startup wizards work
no it goes inside or on the shelf
did you do that i'm moving our ugly cat tree back in
place i just won't get rid of it i won't what get rid of it the cat loves
it is she oh she did not care at all that i moved
that she would care if you got rid of it between my remotes and trackers i've got
a lot of vr junk to charge so this little
uh 10 port charger doodad is going to sit down here with the vr stuff
just kind of it's not particularly tidy looking but at least it's hidden away
oh my ARM is stuck
i hate cable management it is absolutely crazy how much less
cabling and how much less stuff there is now that we don't have the receiver and
i still have five total HDMI inputs it's
not bad i still don't know how it sounds though
before we can test it i want to do their ai room calibration thing for best
results run it in a quiet state okay
okay well now that's set up can i put the sword back up
um no the mantle was just painted
and also i don't know if we're putting the sword back
finalization time the actual av setup is done that looks so slick
like honestly i put the two chairs in i think it actually looks better with just
one chair but it comes in sets and i'm just gonna clean up
vacuum put knickknacks up i think we're almost there i hate these
chairs oh these aren't even comfortable they're horrible
here's the debate Yvonne says my lazy boy is ugly
i say her stupid blue chair
is uncomfortable let's let the viewers decide
okay ugly gray lazy boy
or that thing oh
oh yeah put up put up the feet
oh yeah but mine which are gonna match the wall
and they're gonna match the accent pillows that are gonna go there it's gonna look really nice this is the kind
of seating you have when you want your guests to leave you can't sit on a couch
when it has junk all over it oh it's pretty and yes you can you just do this
see that's what i'm talking about it's gonna
adjust it once you adjust it once you're good see
here's an adjustment no that's
your pillows can go over there what are you doing
you're mean i call it honest before i fire up a game i want to flip
on HDR hey you
you sad would you like a pillow to hug
yeah does that make you feel better
yeah what oh the pillow oh what do you think of
the new setup there
uh i'm trying to find my friend right now in the game
okay his name is jonah and we were exploring
together i'm gonna fire up one of my favorite looking movies on blu-ray so
this is how to train your dragon the hidden world
it took a full day to get everything plunked into place and there's still
some finishing touches like these transition strips are mostly
missing and this one's not even attached and you probably noticed some choppiness
in the frame rate when i was playing tomb raider that's because this is probably at about 45
50 degrees in here it's really really hot i gotta add ventilation
but it's mostly set up i'm surprised at how
good the soundbar sounds and i'm not surprised but the tv looks freaking
awesome it's the same OLED technology that i've loved for the last wow i mean
my daily driver has been OLED at home for years now but in a new form factor
that gives you absolutely zero distractions
whatsoever especially when you take the time to put it in a setup like this one
oh sorry too loud so thanks again to lg for sponsoring
this video and thanks to you guys for watching it if you enjoyed this video
maybe check out the video where i upgraded my old cabinet with cooling
it's uh it's a pretty simple mod but definitely one that's worthwhile if you have hot
components that are in an enclosed space
