WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.000
this is my living room and it's basically a tech nerd's dream giant OLED

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.160
tv valve index vr gaming setup with full

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.120
body tracking high performance gaming pc

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:20.320
game consoles six consoles enough controllers to choke a horse

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:27.359
but it's missing one key thing

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:29.679
looks so today with the help of lg who

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:35.200
sponsored this video and sent over their g10 gallery 77-inch OLED tv we're gonna

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:44.840
be giving my living room something that it hasn't had in 10 years a clean new

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.840
look starting with those couches

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.480
i cannot believe how much of a difference it makes going from dark to

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:03.840
light flooring and now that it's in we can move on to the important stuff

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:08.640
this is the new g10

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.880
gallery design lg OLED in the 77 inch

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:17.520
size and it's going to take up pretty much this whole

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:20.000
recessed area here it's completely flush

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.680
mount with no external processing box so it's actually going to sit really nicely

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:27.840
in this enclosure and we're not going to have the big bulky speakers and

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.000
everything kind of like overflowing and looking weird anymore

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.000
many of the benefits of the g10 are ones that i already enjoyed with my last

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.320
generation c9 it uses OLED technology which means that

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.200
every pixel is self-illuminating so you've got perfect black levels vibrant

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.439
colors all that good stuff it's 4k so obviously the picture is

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:55.840
super sharp even though this is a gigantic 77-inch display it features

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.799
HDMI 2.1 which means high refresh rate

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:04.719
gaming not to mention with g-sync compatibility at up to 4k resolution and

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:08.399
e-arc which means higher resolution higher quality audio to something like

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:14.319
an external sound bar and of course the design is super thin

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:20.319
and modern actually more so on this one i'm used to seeing these tvs have either

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:21.200
like a a bulge down at the bottom

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.400
or like an external you know sound bar unit

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:30.720
that contains the processing like we saw on their first generation signature

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.800
series but this one is just

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:38.720
uniformly pretty thin and one of the reasons they

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.519
took this approach is there are actually four different ways to mount the g10 the

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.360
way we're going with today is using the included wall mount and running cable

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:50.400
through the wall with a conduit but if you're not feeling confident in cutting

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.560
holes in your wall you can use a raceway cable concealer to hide the cables

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.440
if you do want to get the true flush mount with no gaps you'll need to use a

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.000
recessed box that goes into the wall but that one will require professional

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.560
installation the last two ways to install are using a

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.000
standard vasa 300x300 wall mount just make sure it's rated to handle the tv's

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.200
weight and finally if you're not able to mount the g10 to the wall you can buy

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.440
their display stand and have it sit where you want it though i can't say i

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.800
see the point of going with the g10 if you're gonna do it that way even lg's

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:25.440
magic remote with its air mouse controls

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:30.959
handy shortcut keys and multi-device control capabilities is mostly carried

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:34.000
over from last time so what it really

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.239
comes down to is the new alpha 9 gen 3

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:41.040
processor the processor powers everything from the hey lg voice control

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:46.319
to the snappiness of the interface but the biggest one is improvements to its

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:50.480
ability to ai upscale lower resolution content to the native 4k resolution of

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:54.480
this panel and intelligently select which sound profile

00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.000
it should be in depending on the type of content for example amplifying voices

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.120
when there's a bunch of background noise in whatever it is that you're viewing

00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:22.239
i guess i would have been a lot smarter to peel it after it's already on the wall

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.639
hey so which wall mount was i supposed

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:30.639
to use for this

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.199
i don't see one that comes with it there's no

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.460
come think of it i don't see any accessories i don't even see the remote

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.759
oh

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.639
dang it i've done this before yep

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.639
there it is it has some other features like virtual support for dolby atmos

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:54.320
sports alert which will give you updates on up to 20 teams even while you're

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.880
watching other content and improved motions moving but since i'm going to be

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:02.800
using a higher end soundbar than the integrated speakers and i don't watch

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:06.479
sports those ones aren't nearly as big a deal to me as dolby vision iq which

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.720
automatically adjusts picture settings depending on ambient light and content

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.880
and this is a really big one for me filmmaker mode which is a mode you can

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:20.160
put the tv in where it will just strip out any image quality altering filters

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.400
or anything like that and just display the content as color accurately and as

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:28.960
true to the original filmmaker's vision as possible i'm just putting the

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.039
sides on the entertainment unit right now um

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:38.479
what do you think of the color andy yeah okay cool i was a little worried

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:43.199
when i first saw it be gentle that's not gentle i'm i'm gentle let's

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:46.880
eyeball it come down a little bit yeah okay that's fine but come down a

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.600
little bit you're higher than me i no i am not higher than that

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:56.639
evon is higher really yeah yeah kick how about now that's good

00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:00.320
fine i was actually really worried if all of

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.160
your stuff was gonna fit in here like your receiver uh we're not using the

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:08.880
receiver anymore that worked out well that's where this

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:13.360
comes in now the next thing we need to figure out

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:17.919
tv height is the sound bar i know a lot of people are going to give

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:23.120
me a hard time about this but when you're deciding between discrete

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.639
speakers for every channel and a sound bar

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:30.800
there's more to it than just necessarily the audio quality and the directionality

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:34.960
and i've actually been pretty impressed with the last couple of high-end sound

00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:39.160
bars that i've tried so i have pretty high hopes for the sn11 rg from lg here

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:44.800
it's a 7.1.4 setup but

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:48.479
because of the setup of my room like i don't really have anywhere to put rear

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:54.639
speakers by the time i'm sitting a comfortable distance from a tv that large so funny

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:59.120
story then i'm not even actually planning to use the included wireless

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.759
surround speakers that come with this thing just the sound bar itself and the

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:08.560
subwoofer i want to at least give it a shot because compared to the old setup

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:13.280
i'm expecting much better directionality because this is a dolby atmos sound bar

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.720
with like you know ai room measuring technology so

00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:20.800
it should theoretically by you know bouncing sound

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.360
off the ceiling and off the walls should sound a lot more directional i

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.680
find it very hard to believe that this tiny little bracket holds up that

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:34.800
gigantic tv those are pretty hefty anchors though that's a bummer my stud

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:37.759
is right there and

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:42.800
right there so if we were willing to have it not

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:47.680
quite centered in this all clove hey yeah are we willing to have it not

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.759
quite centered in the all clove um how close

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:54.240
is it not that close be like

00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:59.199
this far off that would be weird yeah i don't even

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:03.039
know if it would fit what i can do is i can create like a mounting plate but

00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:07.360
then it's not going to be flush against the wall no it won't be quite flush but

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:12.599
like the tv is so flat it's dead can you go hold on make sure it works

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:12.599
it's not working

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.759
there huh i could hang off that

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:23.360
please don't ah you're gonna break my entertainment unit

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:28.479
well would you not be entertained ready ah wait wait what what no i didn't

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.520
i just asked you and you put your head through it's right here

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:35.279
just messing around what if we ever took it down and what if

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.360
we moved and we wanted to mount the tv again we're not keeping this piece of

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:43.760
paper until we move and need to know you're not it's garbage

00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:50.560
stop no no for real no really okay um can i have a phillips head bit

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:51.760
yeah that one cross i know that one

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:54.920
it's fine i can just hold this thing here forever

00:08:54.959 --> 00:08:59.920
okay that

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.519
is a solid mount i want to put a hole in the wall to run the cables down the wall

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:06.480
so we've got to completely clean them um shouldn't we but

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.240
now a few moments later

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:16.640
okay it's in oh so you want to do that again hey

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:18.880
hey that was pretty smooth now that we got

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:24.320
technique down it doesn't look crooked

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:27.040
how did that happen do we need the instructions where are

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:34.560
the instructions we don't need instructions our wall is just not even oh well now we

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.560
know it's a little high

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:39.360
we can lower it aren't you glad we're doing this test

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:45.360
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

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.519
we need to come down to let's try not to sever an optical cable

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:54.480
while we're doing this just to be clear neither i nor lg

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.160
recommends running cables without the proper recessed box if you want to run

00:09:56.560 --> 00:10:02.959
the cables in the wall it's really better to just have a professional come in and do it for you

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:07.200
this is a tough decision one of the ideas that i had to make this as clean

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:12.880
as possible was to move my vr gaming rig upstairs kind of like what i

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:16.000
experimented with in whole house uh one

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:17.600
pc so we've got a bunch more displayport

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.480
couplers so we could have both of these optical DisplayPort cables running

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:24.160
through the wall into just like a little wall plate and plug the vr headset to

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:29.040
the wall plate i don't have a ton of confidence the DisplayPort over that

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.480
distance is going to behave nicely and there are advantages to having the pc

00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:36.720
right there if you want to just you know plug something in or whatever if we want

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:40.240
all the cables pre-plugged into the tv before we mount it

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:46.560
that means i'm gonna have to salvage some cables from the old setup

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:49.680
to save some time later i'm actually plugging in every cable i'm going to

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.160
need now and then all i need to do

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:58.959
is label them on the other end so this is HDMI connection number one

00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:05.279
and it'll be easy to make sure everything's plugged into the right port on the tv without like pulling it out

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:10.079
and trying to look under it like that okay that's good

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:14.399
down nope oh yep in in that's it yep you're good oh

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:19.040
that was so much easier second time around there's a lot of cable here

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.399
ladies and gentlemen all right this is perfect i can start to

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:26.320
mount things to the back of the console and cable manage i've made the difficult

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:31.200
decision to leave the optical cables in the wall

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:36.480
but actually still have everything here for now in the future i might explore

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:39.519
adding an optical HDMI and maybe having a receiver upstairs and

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:44.160
the computer upstairs and stuff like that but for now i just want to get

00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:48.720
everything cleaned up and then i can experiment with that down the line we're

00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:50.480
going straight to just hot glue

00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:56.160
you can at least improve your chances of it sticking by scuffing up the back a

00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:59.200
little bit before you put it on

00:11:56.160 --> 00:12:00.399
oops oh well at least it was sheathed

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:05.680
right i want the vr headset to be tucked in

00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:10.560
here when it's not in use

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:12.800
all right liz we need to go over here ah

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:17.040
totally painless love it

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:21.720
i love it when startup wizards work

00:12:17.040 --> 00:12:21.720
no it goes inside or on the shelf

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:30.320
did you do that i'm moving our ugly cat tree back in

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:36.800
place i just won't get rid of it i won't what get rid of it the cat loves

00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:40.560
it is she oh she did not care at all that i moved

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:44.480
that she would care if you got rid of it between my remotes and trackers i've got

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:48.000
a lot of vr junk to charge so this little

00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:52.959
uh 10 port charger doodad is going to sit down here with the vr stuff

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:58.160
just kind of it's not particularly tidy looking but at least it's hidden away

00:12:54.880 --> 00:12:58.160
oh my ARM is stuck

00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:06.560
i hate cable management it is absolutely crazy how much less

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:11.440
cabling and how much less stuff there is now that we don't have the receiver and

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:12.560
i still have five total HDMI inputs it's

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.560
not bad i still don't know how it sounds though

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:22.760
before we can test it i want to do their ai room calibration thing for best

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.760
results run it in a quiet state okay

00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:42.240
okay well now that's set up can i put the sword back up

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:46.000

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:50.880
and also i don't know if we're putting the sword back

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:57.360
finalization time the actual av setup is done that looks so slick

00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:01.040
like honestly i put the two chairs in i think it actually looks better with just

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.839
one chair but it comes in sets and i'm just gonna clean up

00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:10.639
vacuum put knickknacks up i think we're almost there i hate these

00:14:08.079 --> 00:14:13.600
chairs oh these aren't even comfortable they're horrible

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:18.880

00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:22.959
i say her stupid blue chair

00:14:20.959 --> 00:14:26.639

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:32.160

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:51.519
of seating you have when you want your guests to leave you can't sit on a couch

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:56.160
when it has junk all over it oh it's pretty and yes you can you just do this

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:59.360
see that's what i'm talking about it's gonna

00:14:57.199 --> 00:15:02.800
adjust it once you adjust it once you're good see

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.360
here's an adjustment no that's

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.440
your pillows can go over there what are you doing

00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:15.440
you're mean i call it honest before i fire up a game i want to flip

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:17.839
on HDR hey you

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:26.959
you sad would you like a pillow to hug

00:15:24.160 --> 00:15:30.079
yeah does that make you feel better

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:38.720
yeah what oh the pillow oh what do you think of

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.720
the new setup there

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.760
uh i'm trying to find my friend right now in the game

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:51.600
okay his name is jonah and we were exploring

00:15:50.079 --> 00:15:54.959
together i'm gonna fire up one of my favorite looking movies on blu-ray so

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:59.950
this is how to train your dragon the hidden world

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.720
it took a full day to get everything plunked into place and there's still

00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:10.800
some finishing touches like these transition strips are mostly

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:14.240
missing and this one's not even attached and you probably noticed some choppiness

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:20.480
in the frame rate when i was playing tomb raider that's because this is probably at about 45

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.199
50 degrees in here it's really really hot i gotta add ventilation

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:28.240
but it's mostly set up i'm surprised at how

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:33.519
good the soundbar sounds and i'm not surprised but the tv looks freaking

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:38.160
awesome it's the same OLED technology that i've loved for the last wow i mean

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:42.240
my daily driver has been OLED at home for years now but in a new form factor

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:47.279
that gives you absolutely zero distractions

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:52.399
whatsoever especially when you take the time to put it in a setup like this one

00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:59.120
oh sorry too loud so thanks again to lg for sponsoring

00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:12.959
it's uh it's a pretty simple mod but definitely one that's worthwhile if you have hot

00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:12.959
components that are in an enclosed space
