1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,120 I'm unboxing the LG G5 today. It's a little late. The G6 comes out, you know, 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,160 in a few months from now, but I was looking around and I thought, why is 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,120 this on the shelf still? Why don't we unbox it? I 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:21,400 This is a beautiful display. It's a tandem W O LED and it should get super 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,560 bright. And the reason I'm curious about that is because I just took my S95B out 6 00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,600 of the basement, put it up to the living room, and now there's sunlight all over 7 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:37,720 it and I can see the magenta. The picture doesn't look as good when the lights are on and you know, I really 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,320 could use a thousand plus nits of SDR. 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:44,720 How about you? Let's find out how it looks. Okay, what have we got here? We've got our stand. 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:49,120 No, this is not the stand at all. So, you get your cables all plugged in and 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,520 then you pop that on. Here's a secret. I don't bother. 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,400 Put that to the side. I want to see what's in here. We've got this circular 13 00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,040 thing. What the hell is this for? 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:05,320 Also cable cover thing. I'm not sure. It's round. Genuinely no idea, but we're 15 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,480 going to find out together. Also, the top of the box, we've got Oh, the other 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,720 piece for whatever that thing is. Another No, this is the remote. Okay, 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:20,800 we've got our bolts for anything that we're going to put together, probably the legs or the feet. 18 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,600 We've got our like warranty guide and um 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,640 Is there like a color accuracy tester anything? Nope, doesn't look like it. 20 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,960 That's fine. This is the cool magic remote. One, it's got a scroll wheel on 21 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,960 it, which is wild. I don't know when they started doing that. So, I don't 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:38,600 know if the G4 had this or not, but either way, um yeah, it's got like 23 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,920 circular touch, uh scroll wheel. Um 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,520 there's a big AI button cuz guess what? This TV's chock-full of AI. We're going 25 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,720 to try some of those features. As per usual, a lot of TV boxes these days 26 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,040 have, you know, instructions that you should follow. Um these steps all look 27 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,560 like they're done. Take it out of the box, remove the box, get the foam out. 28 00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:01,120 Okay, let's get the the out of here. See you later, foam. It says OLED 65 G4. 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,040 They didn't update the foam since the G4. What the Comment down below if 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,840 you think they're going to update the foam by the time the G6 comes out, which we will hopefully be reviewing or 31 00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,760 looking at later this year. I don't think it's going to be updated. I think it's still going to be G4. 32 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,600 You know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Big metal base for our 33 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:21,840 stand. Oh, and maybe it is a big column. That 34 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,720 was close. I almost like dropped the metal out of the 35 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,120 package. Oh my god. So, it's going to lay flat on your 36 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,880 surface, and then you're going to pop that singular stand. I don't know 37 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:41,800 how comfortable I feel putting a giant 65-in TV on a column center stand. Um 38 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,400 I'm very much a fan for TVs of like legs 39 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,680 on either side. I'll do what you tell me to do, LG. And there's instructions on 40 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,880 the back. Yep, that is absolutely what we are supposed to do. I am very 41 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,400 uncomfortable right now, but that's okay. And it looks like that's it. You 42 00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,880 know, we'll take the wrapper off and everything. Uh what we're going to try to do is follow these instructions that 43 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,040 tell me to place our two side foams onto 44 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,880 the ground. Put the TV onto the two side foams, 45 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,040 install the stand, then take it off. I didn't believe in 46 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,280 the diagram, and then Brad noticed there's a thing on the ground, and so he 47 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,920 also noticed that it kind of looks like the other foam. So, you put the foam 48 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,000 down, slot the bottoms on, and then it should be a little more stable. I don't 49 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:24,480 know how necessary that is cuz like these feet seem like they can hold the 50 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,560 TV just fine, but you know, when in doubt, follow the instructions. 51 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,560 One, two, three. 52 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:36,680 I tried to use my legs and knees to keep the other box foam from following it. 53 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,320 And then there we go. It's not going anywhere. Don't worry about it. The ceiling is dripping water. 54 00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:44,920 The lights went out. That's why we're filming over here in the kitchen instead 55 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,320 of in the living room. Just work with me here. 56 00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:51,960 One thing to note as well, once I get the peel off, this was sent in 57 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,920 immaculate condition, but we're pretty sure someone hit it or something while 58 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,880 uh it was waiting to be re-boxed. So, there's a little mark on the front, not 59 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,640 LG's fault, our fault or someone's. 60 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,440 Um wow, this is a thick boy. 61 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Look at all this aluminum on the outside. I wonder how much of this is 62 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,560 heat sink just for like how bright this thing's going to get with the tandem 63 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,239 OLED. What is this? This came installed. This is just a little cover for the 64 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,440 wall mounting stuff. That is some thick hardware. Uh I don't think I've ever 65 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,440 felt more uncomfortable in my life installing a TV stand. All right, so 66 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,520 here's what we're going to do. We're going to take this back plate off of here and 67 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,520 then we're going to attach that to the column 68 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,320 and our hefty metal stand. 69 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:45,480 Yeah, I don't understand why we do it this way. I Like whatever, we'll follow the 70 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,160 instructions, but in my opinion, and maybe this is wrong, so maybe you 71 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:53,120 shouldn't do this, but I think it would've been a lot easier to just leave this on and then 72 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:58,720 put the stand up and screw it in, but you know, maybe we'll discover something. 73 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,280 Oh, it goes to like one of these spots 74 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,280 OR WAIT, WHAT 75 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,800 IF THIS IS CONFUSING, IT'S BECAUSE IT KIND OF IS, but you know, once you do it 76 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,760 once, it makes a lot of sense. So, these little hooks here, 77 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:18,240 it's going to slot in to this spot here and then we're going to then screw the 78 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,680 bolts through these holes here. You have multiple height options. 79 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,640 Only two? But, you know, it's better than one. 80 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:31,520 This makes a lot more sense now. At the very least, it's new, and so it's kind 81 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,520 of novel to me, so I like it. 82 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Okay. Oh. So, it looks like if you do want to take it off, you just push the 83 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,919 clip here. Basically, what you've got to do is you want to rock it into this like 84 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,600 hook and then rock it forward and push the clip down until it clicks into 85 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,120 place. And then the last thing we're going to do 86 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,680 pop our plastic cover on. Oh, but we should probably put the bolts in. Yeah, 87 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,600 that's a good idea. Okay, so we're going to pull our power 88 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,920 cable kind of out of the way, flick it here, and then it's actually kind of 89 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,840 standing. Maybe this is why they want the foam. 90 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,400 All right, we're good. Let's lift it up and put it in place. 91 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,880 But not before a word from our sponsor, Proton.

It's 101 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:55,520 It's like a giant monitor, and I 102 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,680 I don't like it. I don't like how wobbly this is. I'm really against this. Um I 103 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,720 think that if you're going to get the G5, you can get them without the stand, 104 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,760 usually for like 100 bucks cheaper. I don't know if they're still doing that, but if they are, I don't know if I'd 105 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,880 bother with the stand, you know? I don't know why 106 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:17,400 they thought it was smart to do this. On a 55-in or a 48-in or a 42, I could kind 107 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,080 of understand, but I don't uh yeah, I'm 108 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,280 It's safe. It seems like it's not going anywhere. Maybe kicking a console, your 109 00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:26,040 TV would jiggle a little anyway on a stand, but like not if I just tap the 110 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,480 edge like this. I don't like it. I don't have to like it. But you know what I do 111 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,640 like? All of the IO. We've got all of our cable management here, including 112 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:38,000 some, you know, handy clips that they've got, and then all of our IO here and 113 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:43,240 here. There's an IR blaster, antenna, optical digital audio out, two 114 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:49,080 HDMI down here. Couple of USB. 115 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,320 Two more HDMI. Number two has E arc on 116 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,360 it. One more USB. 117 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,800 There is a peel on the back around the silver frame. The more I look at the 118 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,400 silver accent frame, the more I like it. I mean, you're never really going to see it too much unless you're behind the TV, 119 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,120 but yeah, I kind of dig it. And aside from 120 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:15,160 the stand, you know, construction seems totally fine. 121 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,200 It's not as like laser thin as a QLED 122 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,960 is, but I'll be very frank. I feel nervous when I move my TV at home. I 123 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,360 feel a lot less nervous about this guy literally bending as I move it just 124 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,560 because of how thick the frame is. The light blinked. The funny thing is we 125 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,240 have a different TV back there that also got turned off when I did that. This 126 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,280 should be the magic remote so you can use it as a pointer to just like point 127 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,200 at things and click and select. Oh, there's the magic remote stuff going. 128 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:45,839 Okay, sick. Terms and conditions. Ah, that's a lot. THE SCROLL WHEEL WORKS. 129 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,320 NICE. Service area zip code. To be 130 00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:49,920 clear, there is a model that comes out in Canada. It's a slightly different 131 00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:57,480 model number, but it's basically the same TV. Pretty sure we got an American one. Doesn't really matter. See, even in 132 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,200 the stand picture, they show two feet 133 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,960 and I don't like the center column. It looks like a giant monitor. Oh my god, 134 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,760 it just It doesn't even look like a TV. It looks like a big monitor. I'm going 135 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:12,280 to turn their AI picture pro on and I'm actually going to turn the AI sound pro 136 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,600 on as well. Wow, now the baby looks sharper. 137 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:20,200 Um this is one of the few things I will actually turn on for the AI settings. LG 138 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:25,080 actually has really good processing and they've got the Alpha 11 AI Gen 2 in 139 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,760 here. Can you turn it off and on again for the picture pro? 140 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,600 Woah. I don't know if they're just juicing the audio or what the sound pro AI stuff is 141 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:41,640 doing, but you know, it sounded better to me. So, I'm going to keep that on as well. I don't know what AC 4 audio is, 142 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:46,440 but I do love dialogue enhancement stuff because, you know, a lot of movies 143 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,000 really don't sound good if you're trying to listen to what the actors are trying 144 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:55,000 to say. Um that's why I watch stuff with subtitles. Let's see if I CAN DOWNLOAD 145 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:58,600 PLEX. AH! YOU DO need your LG account signed in if 146 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,040 you want to download any other apps. I went to download Plex. 147 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,040 They're hitting me with the account sign-in and there's a device, there's a thinQ app, and there's a mobile web 148 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,960 sign-in, but uh yeah, we got to sign in to something. I'm basically just 149 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,640 boosting all the brightness and all of the features that it lets me do that in. 150 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,120 I'm not saying that this is going to be the most color accurate right now 151 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,880 because of the settings I'm uh enabling, but I think it looks better personally. 152 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Um and most people do. People like brightness uh more so than they like even like more 153 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:32,480 color. Like as long as the TV is really bright, it's probably going to impress you. However, when we did test this in 154 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Filmmaker Mode with the settings correct, um it measured pretty good. 155 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,280 This looks awesome though. As for color accuracy in Filmmaker Mode with a few 156 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:48,760 minor adjustments, we're getting a Delta E ITP of like six with a max of closer 157 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:51,400 to 20. Average of six is like very good 158 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:55,080 DE ITP, to be very clear. And so, overall, I'm pretty impressed with what 159 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,560 I'm looking at right now even if this with all the like dynamic contrast 160 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:02,200 enhancing and everything is wrong, um it still looks really good. Like And the 161 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:06,160 other nice thing is uh this supports Dolby Vision, which isn't supported by 162 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:11,120 all other TVs and we did a whole video on it on LTT. The difference might not 163 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:16,040 be staggering like SDR versus HDR, but HDR 10 or 10 plus versus Dolby Vision, 164 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:21,000 you do notice a little difference and DV does look really nice. As for SDR color 165 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:25,200 accuracy, it's also really good. We did a few minor tweaks, but set to ISF 166 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,480 Expert mode, we're getting under one Delta E average with a max of just under 167 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:35,000 three. Very impressive, but TVs have come a 168 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,400 long way in these past like 5 10 years. 169 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,720 I kind of expect that out of most devices. I mean maybe not under one. Okay, that's a little extreme, but uh 170 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:47,760 yeah, it's pretty good overall. Really solid TV. 171 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,320 In SDR, we measured over a thousand nits 172 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,680 of brightness, which is like wild. I think that's actually the brightest SDR 173 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:59,800 display we've ever tested before. And then as for HDR brightness, we measured 174 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:02,440 a whopping 2500 nits in Filmmaker Mode. 175 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,840 That's a lot. And it really is a testament 176 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,880 to just how far TVs have come in these past few years. And you know who else 177 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,680 TVs have come a long way? They've got AI now. So I want to press the AI button, 178 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:19,080 which you can also just say, "Hey LG." That didn't work. It might not be enabled. Don't blame the TV. Press the 179 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:22,280 AI button. Please agree Oh my god, I have to agree to the terms and 180 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,000 conditions to use the voice recognition feature. Of course it does cuz it's 181 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,800 probably stealing all of my telemetry. It's probably stealing my voice. I'm not 182 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,920 sure how I feel about that. I mean okay, no, I am sure. I don't like it at all. 183 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,080 I'm really anti-AI personally. I'm also really anti 184 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:42,080 spying on me in my home. And I get that you're agreeing to that, but we agreed 185 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,680 to like a mini novel worth of things just to enable that. And there was a 186 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:52,360 bunch more that we could have agreed to like some marketing stuff and more telemetry hooks. Hi LG. 187 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Turn the volume up. 188 00:12:53,160 --> 00:13:00,360 It did it by an increment of one. Hi LG. 189 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,360 Turn the volume up five points. 190 00:13:00,839 --> 00:13:07,800 Okay, it worked that time. Hi LG. I can't really hear. Can you turn 191 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800 the volume up, please? 192 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:16,920 Now I'll give me search results. I've paid, if I bought this TV, the 65-in is 193 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:18,760 usually something like 3300 US dollars. 194 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:23,160 It's a pretty expensive display. It's It's a beautiful 195 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:27,320 beautiful TV, but it's very expensive. Um even the 55-in is still over two 196 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,600 grand. So like you're spending a lot of money on this thing and I get that 197 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:35,000 there's not a lot of like ads, per se. It's more just like here's 198 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,240 all your different apps and here's some shows you could watch. That's not too 199 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,440 bad. TCL and Hisense have been getting really bad with advertisements lately, 200 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,240 so I'm not going to complain too much here. But, like, the AI stuff, which you 201 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:51,560 don't have to use, I don't like it at all. I kind of wish 202 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,080 they would just ditch it, but that's the way the world's going. Would 203 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:59,280 I buy this TV? At full price, I think that it is worth 204 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:04,840 it for those of you who are looking for like literally the best possible display 205 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:09,600 or one of the best possible displays in that price range when it's brand new. 206 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:14,440 However, a big suggestion I have if you're trying to buy a new television, 207 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:18,640 try to wait until the fall. You will usually get, or even early spring, like 208 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:24,040 of this year, like right now. This is on sale for a lot of money and it's because the new models are going to come out 209 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:27,120 soonish, right? The G6 launches in a few months or something like that. So, what 210 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,560 you'll typically see is in the fall, you'll get their like fall clearance 211 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,400 sales and like Black Friday Cyber Monday where they're trying to make space for 212 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:38,000 the new TVs. But, then later again in the spring, they're going to try to clear everything out again. And so, 213 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,600 you're going to see major deep discounts on TVs that are like this that are 214 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:47,520 normally very flagship and expensive. So, on sale right now, this is about 215 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,480 $1,100 off for $2,300. Sorry, it's 216 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:55,080 $3,400 full price. Um, I bought my TV in the fall. I saved a 217 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,920 bunch of money. I highly suggest you do the same thing. If you're one of those 218 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:03,480 people who needs the latest and greatest, then hey, maybe keep watching ShortCircuit and wait until we unbox the 219 00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:06,640 G6. Cuz then we can make the stupid like a 220 00:15:04,839 --> 00:15:09,960 G6 plane joke over and over again. That's all I'm 221 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,320 going to do. I'm going to unbox the TV and I'm going to say like a G6, like a 222 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320 G6.
