1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,240
back when the sony playstation was hot stuff only one person i knew had a big

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:13,519
screen tv the screen size was just under 50 inches

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:19,039
it took up half their living room and it weighed as much as the country squire

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:23,760
now with a projector you can get a much bigger screen size out of something you

5
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,760
can carry under your ARM but not everybody's into the washed out

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:35,840
instagram filter over all of their movies could there be a solution

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:40,079
introducing the dell s718 ql the world's

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,360
first high brightness 4k uhd ultra short

9
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:46,079
throw laser projector the mass drop and

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:51,900
sennheiser hd6xx open back headphones are available now for only 199.99 us

11
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:56,869
check them out at the link below

12
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,600
we have never reviewed a laser projector before and that's because up until now

13
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:11,760
their prices have been so high that they were only used in premium large format

14
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:17,040
applications i mean now this one is still six thousand

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:22,799
dollars but when you're talking about high-end installations that is getting

16
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,799
pretty close to mainstream prosumer i

17
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,360
mean consider that an 82-inch 4k HDR tv

18
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:35,040
would run you about 5 grand and that sony's groundbreaking short throw laser

19
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,320
projector debuted at 50 grand

20
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,600
so the s718 ql i'm just going to call it

21
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,600
kylo ren looks pretty good by comparison it

22
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,479
projects much brighter images up to 130

23
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,600
inches while also overcoming many of the installation headaches of traditional

24
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,399
projectors you see because kylo is an

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:03,200
ultra short throw model his lens can generate a 100 inch image from just 15

26
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:08,319
inches away so you can just chuck him on a normal tv stand for a normal looking

27
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,560
living room no matter what the dimensions of your room are plus you

28
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,920
don't have to worry about people blocking the shot or presenters getting

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,920
blinded

30
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,000
guess i won't be needing these

31
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:29,120
okay so projectors are cool short throw projectors are even cooler

32
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,480
but why pay more for laser well there are actually a lot of reasons starting

33
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,959
with brightness conventional lamp projectors shine a

34
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,319
single white light at a spinning color wheel which separates the light into the

35
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,120
desired colors unfortunately this means that about 80

36
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:51,360
percent of the light from the bulb is actually wasted and ends up being

37
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:52,720
diverted or blocked at any given time by

38
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:59,040
contrast laser projectors emit light using lasers

39
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,440
that switch rapidly on and off as needed

40
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,840
this allows them to power on instantly because lasers have no warm-up time it

41
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:12,319
allows them to take the same amount of power from the wall but shine much more

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,120
brightly up to 5 000 lumens in this case

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:20,480
and it even contributes to lower black levels because they don't have a bunch

44
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:26,640
of diverted white light bouncing around inside the projector giving the dark

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,400
areas of the scene an lcd-like glow

46
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:34,319
now to be clear it's a very different technology but the

47
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,120
result ends up more similar to OLED in

48
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:43,360
the sense that black areas get very little to no illumination at all

49
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:49,680
so all of this culminates then in kylo not just managing to look good even in a

50
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,440
lit room but also support HDR content

51
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,840
while doing it still not seeing the big picture

52
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:59,760
because laser projectors don't have a super hot light bulb inside you won't

53
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,519
hear as much fan noise while watching a movie kylo here operates at around 36

54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,840
decibels even quieter in eco mode and the laser

55
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,799
system is rated for twenty thousand hours of use which is a far cry from the

56
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:17,120
three thousand hours of a typical bulb so that's nearly a decade of screen time

57
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:19,840
even at 40 hours a week but

58
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,080
alas not all laser projectors are created

59
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:30,800
equal dell was able to hit this price point because kylo here doesn't have

60
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,600
dedicated lasers for rg and b

61
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:39,199
instead he's got an array of blue lasers which like many lamp projectors still

62
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:43,120
rely on spinning color wheels one of the biggest downsides to this approach then

63
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,160
is something called the rainbow effect which is most noticeable when you move

64
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,479
your eyes quickly around on the screen some people don't notice it or care

65
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,160
about it but others will find it bothersome with some people even

66
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:59,360
complaining that even when they're staring in one spot it can make them

67
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,320
feel sick as for the experience of using this one

68
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:09,280
though honestly everyone who saw it including brandon was really impressed

69
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:14,720
by the contrast of the image even at 100 inches in a lit room and how subtle the

70
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,560
rainbow effect was as for gaming it should serve console gamers just fine

71
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,039
but if you're used to playing competitive shooters with a mouse and

72
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,199
keyboard the input lag might be less than ideal

73
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:32,720
so this is a really different generation of projectors one with the advantages that

74
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,560
they've always held and without many of

75
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,840
the disadvantages that have made them hard to recommend for all but the

76
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,240
biggest cinema nerds with dedicated

77
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,520
theater rooms with blackout blinds in the past

78
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,000
and it'll even look good in your living room i mean we've obviously been teasing

79
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,960
dell about the look of it but the industrial design is pretty clean with a

80
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:59,280
mix of matte and glossy black on top and a brushed metal motif on a completely

81
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,600
unbranded front which we really appreciated now

82
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,039
i was personally a little disappointed at the lack of displayport inputs

83
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,199
because we're kind of all pc dorks around here but overall it's got a

84
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:15,039
pretty solid mix of i o as well including the ability to connect it to

85
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,759
wireless speakers over bluetooth if the dual six watt integrated speakers aren't

86
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,800
enough for you or even operate without a pc because it can accept network sources

87
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,319
a capability that i plan to use for remote employee motivation

88
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,000
so time to buy then well if you've got six g's burning a

89
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,680
hole in your pocket then sure i mean 10-bit color HDR there's nothing else

90
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:46,240
quite like it on the market right now but there's still some room for

91
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:51,759
improvement right now smart tv like functionality like plex or netflix will

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:57,919
require a separate box like a roku or an apple tv and

93
00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:03,360
actually it's pretty awesome um i don't know maybe future ones will be cheaper

94
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:08,720
who knows i can't project the future videoblocks is the place to go to get

95
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,599
studio quality stock footage audio and

96
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,919
images for a fraction of the cost it's great and we've used it for a ton of

97
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:19,759
projects in the past you can download all the stock media your heart desires
