WEBVTT 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, 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:11.160 in a few months from now, but I was looking around and I thought, why is 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:14.120 this on the shelf still? Why don't we unbox it? I 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 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 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 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 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.320 could use a thousand plus nits of SDR. 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. 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 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.520 then you pop that on. Here's a secret. I don't bother. 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 00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.040 thing. What the hell is this for? 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 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 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.720 piece for whatever that thing is. Another No, this is the remote. Okay, 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. 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:22.600 We've got our like warranty guide and um 00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:25.640 Is there like a color accuracy tester anything? Nope, doesn't look like it. 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 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 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 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:40.920 circular touch, uh scroll wheel. Um 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 00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:47.720 to try some of those features. As per usual, a lot of TV boxes these days 00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:52.040 have, you know, instructions that you should follow. Um these steps all look 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. 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. 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.040 They didn't update the foam since the G4. What the Comment down below if 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 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. 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.600 You know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Big metal base for our 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:21.840 stand. Oh, and maybe it is a big column. That 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.720 was close. I almost like dropped the metal out of the 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:29.120 package. Oh my god. So, it's going to lay flat on your 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:33.880 surface, and then you're going to pop that singular stand. I don't know 00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:41.800 how comfortable I feel putting a giant 65-in TV on a column center stand. Um 00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:43.400 I'm very much a fan for TVs of like legs 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 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.880 the back. Yep, that is absolutely what we are supposed to do. I am very 00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:54.400 uncomfortable right now, but that's okay. And it looks like that's it. You 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 00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:02.040 tell me to place our two side foams onto 00:03:00.880 --> 00:03:05.880 the ground. Put the TV onto the two side foams, 00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:09.040 install the stand, then take it off. I didn't believe in 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:12.280 the diagram, and then Brad noticed there's a thing on the ground, and so he 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.920 also noticed that it kind of looks like the other foam. So, you put the foam 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 00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:24.480 know how necessary that is cuz like these feet seem like they can hold the 00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:29.560 TV just fine, but you know, when in doubt, follow the instructions. 00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:29.560 One, two, three. 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. 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. 00:03:39.959 --> 00:03:44.920 The lights went out. That's why we're filming over here in the kitchen instead 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.320 of in the living room. Just work with me here. 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:51.960 One thing to note as well, once I get the peel off, this was sent in 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.920 immaculate condition, but we're pretty sure someone hit it or something while 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 00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:03.640 LG's fault, our fault or someone's. 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.440 Um wow, this is a thick boy. 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:12.160 Look at all this aluminum on the outside. I wonder how much of this is 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.560 heat sink just for like how bright this thing's going to get with the tandem 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.239 OLED. What is this? This came installed. This is just a little cover for the 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.440 wall mounting stuff. That is some thick hardware. Uh I don't think I've ever 00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:27.440 felt more uncomfortable in my life installing a TV stand. All right, so 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 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.520 then we're going to attach that to the column 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:40.320 and our hefty metal stand. 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 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.160 instructions, but in my opinion, and maybe this is wrong, so maybe you 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 00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:58.720 put the stand up and screw it in, but you know, maybe we'll discover something. 00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:01.280 Oh, it goes to like one of these spots 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.280 OR WAIT, WHAT 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 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:13.760 once, it makes a lot of sense. So, these little hooks here, 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 00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:21.680 bolts through these holes here. You have multiple height options. 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.640 Only two? But, you know, it's better than one. 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 00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:31.520 of novel to me, so I like it. 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 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 00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:46.600 hook and then rock it forward and push the clip down until it clicks into 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.120 place. And then the last thing we're going to do 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.680 pop our plastic cover on. Oh, but we should probably put the bolts in. Yeah, 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.600 that's a good idea. Okay, so we're going to pull our power 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 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.840 standing. Maybe this is why they want the foam. 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:08.400 All right, we're good. Let's lift it up and put it in place. 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.880 But not before a word from our sponsor, Proton.

It's 00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:55.520 It's like a giant monitor, and I 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 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, 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 00:07:05.760 --> 00:07:10.880 bother with the stand, you know? I don't know why 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 00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:19.080 of understand, but I don't uh yeah, I'm 00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:22.280 It's safe. It seems like it's not going anywhere. Maybe kicking a console, your 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 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 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.640 like? All of the IO. We've got all of our cable management here, including 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 00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:43.240 here. There's an IR blaster, antenna, optical digital audio out, two 00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:49.080 HDMI down here. Couple of USB. 00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:50.320 Two more HDMI. Number two has E arc on 00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:53.360 it. One more USB. 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 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, 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.120 but yeah, I kind of dig it. And aside from 00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:15.160 the stand, you know, construction seems totally fine. 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:17.200 It's not as like laser thin as a QLED 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 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:25.360 feel a lot less nervous about this guy literally bending as I move it just 00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:28.560 because of how thick the frame is. The light blinked. The funny thing is we 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.240 have a different TV back there that also got turned off when I did that. This 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 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.200 at things and click and select. Oh, there's the magic remote stuff going. 00:08:36.520 --> 00:08:45.839 Okay, sick. Terms and conditions. Ah, that's a lot. THE SCROLL WHEEL WORKS. 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:47.320 NICE. Service area zip code. To be 00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:49.920 clear, there is a model that comes out in Canada. It's a slightly different 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 00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:59.200 the stand picture, they show two feet 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, 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 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 00:09:09.400 --> 00:09:15.600 on as well. Wow, now the baby looks sharper. 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 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:25.080 actually has really good processing and they've got the Alpha 11 AI Gen 2 in 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:28.760 here. Can you turn it off and on again for the picture pro? 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 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, 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:46.440 but I do love dialogue enhancement stuff because, you know, a lot of movies 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 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 00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:58.600 PLEX. AH! YOU DO need your LG account signed in if 00:09:57.280 --> 00:10:02.040 you want to download any other apps. I went to download Plex. 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 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.960 sign-in, but uh yeah, we got to sign in to something. I'm basically just 00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:13.640 boosting all the brightness and all of the features that it lets me do that in. 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:19.120 I'm not saying that this is going to be the most color accurate right now 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.880 because of the settings I'm uh enabling, but I think it looks better personally. 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 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 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.240 Filmmaker Mode with the settings correct, um it measured pretty good. 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:41.280 This looks awesome though. As for color accuracy in Filmmaker Mode with a few 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 00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:51.400 to 20. Average of six is like very good 00:10:48.760 --> 00:10:55.080 DE ITP, to be very clear. And so, overall, I'm pretty impressed with what 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.560 I'm looking at right now even if this with all the like dynamic contrast 00:10:56.400 --> 00:11:02.200 enhancing and everything is wrong, um it still looks really good. Like And the 00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:06.160 other nice thing is uh this supports Dolby Vision, which isn't supported by 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 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:16.040 be staggering like SDR versus HDR, but HDR 10 or 10 plus versus Dolby Vision, 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:21.000 you do notice a little difference and DV does look really nice. As for SDR color 00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:25.200 accuracy, it's also really good. We did a few minor tweaks, but set to ISF 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:28.480 Expert mode, we're getting under one Delta E average with a max of just under 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:35.000 three. Very impressive, but TVs have come a 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:36.400 long way in these past like 5 10 years. 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 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:47.760 yeah, it's pretty good overall. Really solid TV. 00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:49.320 In SDR, we measured over a thousand nits 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:53.680 of brightness, which is like wild. I think that's actually the brightest SDR 00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:59.800 display we've ever tested before. And then as for HDR brightness, we measured 00:11:55.800 --> 00:12:02.440 a whopping 2500 nits in Filmmaker Mode. 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:05.840 That's a lot. And it really is a testament 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 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, 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 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:22.280 AI button. Please agree Oh my god, I have to agree to the terms and 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.000 conditions to use the voice recognition feature. Of course it does cuz it's 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:29.800 probably stealing all of my telemetry. It's probably stealing my voice. I'm not 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. 00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:38.080 I'm really anti-AI personally. I'm also really anti 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 00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:44.680 to like a mini novel worth of things just to enable that. And there was a 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. 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.360 Turn the volume up. 00:12:53.160 --> 00:13:00.360 It did it by an increment of one. Hi LG. 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360 Turn the volume up five points. 00:13:00.839 --> 00:13:07.800 Okay, it worked that time. Hi LG. I can't really hear. Can you turn 00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:07.800 the volume up, please? 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 00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:18.760 usually something like 3300 US dollars. 00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:23.160 It's a pretty expensive display. It's It's a beautiful 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:27.320 beautiful TV, but it's very expensive. Um even the 55-in is still over two 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 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 00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:39.240 all your different apps and here's some shows you could watch. That's not too 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:42.440 bad. TCL and Hisense have been getting really bad with advertisements lately, 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 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:51.560 don't have to use, I don't like it at all. I kind of wish 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:55.080 they would just ditch it, but that's the way the world's going. Would 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:59.280 I buy this TV? At full price, I think that it is worth 00:13:57.520 --> 00:14:04.840 it for those of you who are looking for like literally the best possible display 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:09.600 or one of the best possible displays in that price range when it's brand new. 00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:14.440 However, a big suggestion I have if you're trying to buy a new television, 00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:18.640 try to wait until the fall. You will usually get, or even early spring, like 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 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:27.120 soonish, right? The G6 launches in a few months or something like that. So, what 00:14:25.400 --> 00:14:30.560 you'll typically see is in the fall, you'll get their like fall clearance 00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:33.400 sales and like Black Friday Cyber Monday where they're trying to make space for 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, 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:41.600 you're going to see major deep discounts on TVs that are like this that are 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:47.520 normally very flagship and expensive. So, on sale right now, this is about 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.480 $1,100 off for $2,300. Sorry, it's 00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:55.080 $3,400 full price. Um, I bought my TV in the fall. I saved a 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 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 00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:06.640 G6. Cuz then we can make the stupid like a 00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:09.960 G6 plane joke over and over again. That's all I'm 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 00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:14.320 G6.
