00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:08.240
back when the sony playstation was hot stuff only one person i knew had a big

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:13.519
screen tv the screen size was just under 50 inches

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:19.039
it took up half their living room and it weighed as much as the country squire

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:23.760
now with a projector you can get a much bigger screen size out of something you

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:27.760
can carry under your ARM but not everybody's into the washed out

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:35.840
instagram filter over all of their movies could there be a solution

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:40.079
introducing the dell s718 ql the world's

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:43.360
first high brightness 4k uhd ultra short

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:46.079
throw laser projector the mass drop and

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:51.900
sennheiser hd6xx open back headphones are available now for only 199.99 us

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.869
check them out at the link below

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.600
we have never reviewed a laser projector before and that's because up until now

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.760
their prices have been so high that they were only used in premium large format

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:17.040
applications i mean now this one is still six thousand

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:22.799
dollars but when you're talking about high-end installations that is getting

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:26.799
pretty close to mainstream prosumer i

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:29.360
mean consider that an 82-inch 4k HDR tv

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:35.040
would run you about 5 grand and that sony's groundbreaking short throw laser

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.320
projector debuted at 50 grand

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.600
so the s718 ql i'm just going to call it

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.600
kylo ren looks pretty good by comparison it

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.479
projects much brighter images up to 130

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:53.600
inches while also overcoming many of the installation headaches of traditional

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.399
projectors you see because kylo is an

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:03.200
ultra short throw model his lens can generate a 100 inch image from just 15

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

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.560
living room no matter what the dimensions of your room are plus you

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.920
don't have to worry about people blocking the shot or presenters getting

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.920
blinded

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.000
guess i won't be needing these

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:29.120
okay so projectors are cool short throw projectors are even cooler

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.480
but why pay more for laser well there are actually a lot of reasons starting

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:36.959
with brightness conventional lamp projectors shine a

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:40.319
single white light at a spinning color wheel which separates the light into the

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.120
desired colors unfortunately this means that about 80

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:51.360
percent of the light from the bulb is actually wasted and ends up being

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:52.720
diverted or blocked at any given time by

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:59.040
contrast laser projectors emit light using lasers

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.440
that switch rapidly on and off as needed

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:05.840
this allows them to power on instantly because lasers have no warm-up time it

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:12.319
allows them to take the same amount of power from the wall but shine much more

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.120
brightly up to 5 000 lumens in this case

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:20.480
and it even contributes to lower black levels because they don't have a bunch

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:26.640
of diverted white light bouncing around inside the projector giving the dark

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.400
areas of the scene an lcd-like glow

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:34.319
now to be clear it's a very different technology but the

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.120
result ends up more similar to OLED in

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:43.360
the sense that black areas get very little to no illumination at all

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

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:51.440
lit room but also support HDR content

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.840
while doing it still not seeing the big picture

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.760
because laser projectors don't have a super hot light bulb inside you won't

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.519
hear as much fan noise while watching a movie kylo here operates at around 36

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.840
decibels even quieter in eco mode and the laser

00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:12.799
system is rated for twenty thousand hours of use which is a far cry from the

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:17.120
three thousand hours of a typical bulb so that's nearly a decade of screen time

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.840
even at 40 hours a week but

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.080
alas not all laser projectors are created

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:30.800
equal dell was able to hit this price point because kylo here doesn't have

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.600
dedicated lasers for rg and b

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:39.199
instead he's got an array of blue lasers which like many lamp projectors still

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:43.120
rely on spinning color wheels one of the biggest downsides to this approach then

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:48.160
is something called the rainbow effect which is most noticeable when you move

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.479
your eyes quickly around on the screen some people don't notice it or care

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.160
about it but others will find it bothersome with some people even

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.360
complaining that even when they're staring in one spot it can make them

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.320
feel sick as for the experience of using this one

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:09.280
though honestly everyone who saw it including brandon was really impressed

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

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:18.560
rainbow effect was as for gaming it should serve console gamers just fine

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.039
but if you're used to playing competitive shooters with a mouse and

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:25.199
keyboard the input lag might be less than ideal

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:32.720
so this is a really different generation of projectors one with the advantages that

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:34.560
they've always held and without many of

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.840
the disadvantages that have made them hard to recommend for all but the

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.240
biggest cinema nerds with dedicated

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:45.520
theater rooms with blackout blinds in the past

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

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.960
dell about the look of it but the industrial design is pretty clean with a

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:59.280
mix of matte and glossy black on top and a brushed metal motif on a completely

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.600
unbranded front which we really appreciated now

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:07.039
i was personally a little disappointed at the lack of displayport inputs

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.199
because we're kind of all pc dorks around here but overall it's got a

00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:15.039
pretty solid mix of i o as well including the ability to connect it to

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.759
wireless speakers over bluetooth if the dual six watt integrated speakers aren't

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.800
enough for you or even operate without a pc because it can accept network sources

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:28.319
a capability that i plan to use for remote employee motivation

00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:36.000
so time to buy then well if you've got six g's burning a

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:41.680
hole in your pocket then sure i mean 10-bit color HDR there's nothing else

00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:46.240
quite like it on the market right now but there's still some room for

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:51.759
improvement right now smart tv like functionality like plex or netflix will

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:57.919
require a separate box like a roku or an apple tv and

00:06:55.039 --> 00:07:03.360
actually it's pretty awesome um i don't know maybe future ones will be cheaper

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:08.720
who knows i can't project the future videoblocks is the place to go to get

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.599
studio quality stock footage audio and

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:15.919
