00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,960
our ces 2019 coverage is brought to you by dbrand their grip cases and prism

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:10,800
screen protectors mean 360 degree protection for your phone check them out

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,040
at the link below so we are here in the lg secret meeting room whatever it is

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,760
this was the only place that we could actually get close to this thing and it

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:23,359
might not look like much we got a speaker bar thing here we got some art

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,080
here and then two clicks of this button and bam

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,360
we've got the rollable tv so this is their OLED tv r which is short for

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:36,719
revolution but we really think they should call it the row led

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,320
nothing nothing nothing

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,640
all right so there's a few different ways you can use it you can use it

11
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:54,559
completely unrolled you can use it up partially and there's kind of some smart

12
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,960
applications you can see the time you can check the weather that kind of stuff

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,399
or you can close it down entirely oh i believe the halfway up also has music

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,439
support there's a there's a gallery thing that you can do you can even start

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,520
your music playing roll the whole thing down and then you've just got this discreet looking speaker that blends in

16
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,799
with pretty much anything not that of course you'd want to just use it as a

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,400
speaker because this thing is one heck of a tv now you guys are probably

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,799
thinking there's got to be some kind of compromise to the image quality because

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,720
of making it rollable but in actuality this is exactly the same tech that we've

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,960
always already seen i mean lg's been showing us their OLED panel technology

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,920
and all kinds of different form factors for years now this is just the first

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,759
time aside from that short-lived sort of curved tv thing that we saw for our bit

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,720
there this is the first time that we've actually seen

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,000
dynamic rolling in a consumer product

25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,280
and the way that they've done it is really cool so on the show floor we got

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,600
a lot of b-roll of this thing but we weren't actually able to get that close to it well here we can so it's actually

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,399
got these arms at the back that i'm going to go ahead and i'm going to lower

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,920
it you can see what they're going to do is they're going to kind of fold onto themselves and then

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,680
we can't really see exactly what's in here we know that there's a 4.2 100 watt

30
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,440
speaker set we know all the i o and all the power

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,720
for it is in here but we can't see exactly how tight the tv rolls up but we

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,360
have to assume that it's going to be i guess as loosely as they can now there's

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,319
a couple things about the mechanism that we do know we know that it's rated for

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:31,440
50 000 rolls and unrolls so that would be four times a day for 32 years and we

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,040
also know that it's extremely quiet that was a big question mark for us down on

36
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,280
the show floor we weren't sure but uh yeah it's actually really impressive how

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,000
quiet it is now back to things we don't know

38
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,319
when they're gonna ship this thing uh how much it's gonna cost

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,319
we could make some guesses given that this is their signature line and these

40
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,920
are generally kind of supposed to be eye dropping

41
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,440
oh my goodness as opposed to a great bang for the buck but frankly i'm not

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,560
even gonna bother i'm just gonna sit here and admire the cool tech now we're

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,360
about to head downstairs and check out the 8k displays that are supposed to come on sale later this year but first

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,599
let's look at something that's really not ready for prime time it is a great

45
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,519
demo so this is their 88 inch crystal sound OLED demo and behind the panel are

46
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,959
five of what lg is calling exciters

47
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:20,400
and it seems to be working basically

48
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:23,920
there's three that are handling the mid-range on the bottom part of the

49
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,840
panel and then two that are handling the highs and they're claiming that they're

50
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,040
able to get 80 to i believe it was 140 kilohertz

51
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,840
frequency response out of this thing but honestly that's not what really blew me

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,760
away what blew me away was the positionality of the audio so whether

53
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,480
it's for watching movies or games they've got some really great demos

54
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,239
where you can really like you can like feel the ufo moving across the screen

55
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,680
and somehow from bottom to top though i'm not sure exactly how they did that

56
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,480
last part hopefully we're going to see this coming soon because then we can do

57
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,239
away entirely with the speakers and all

58
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,680
that other stuff i mean okay you'll still need to put your game

59
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,040
console and like maybe your computer and your set top okay okay we're not doing

60
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,319
away with all this other stuff but but no speakers now we're down on the

61
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:12,080
floor and this is the z series yes the

62
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:14,799
entire z series is one sku an 88 inch 8k

63
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,840
OLED tv that has a number of kind of unique characteristics so number one is

64
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,120
that it actually comes with this kind of artsy looking

65
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,360
sort of frame style stand but you don't

66
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,960
actually have to use it so we initially looked around the back of this thing and

67
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,960
we were like oh that's kind of that kind of sucks because there's no vase amount

68
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:40,479
there's no way to like really do cable management in a in a meaningful way and

69
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,680
what if this height isn't right for you what if you want like a shorter or

70
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:49,520
a taller stand so as it turns out the way that it actually works is you can

71
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,360
take the whole thing off of the stand and it's got these kind of downward

72
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,720
firing speakers and reflectors so you can just run it as a standalone tv if

73
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,440
you want or you can put it on the stand now there's not a ton that we really

74
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,639
know about it it's got their new alpha 9 gen 2 processor which helps with 4k to

75
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,479
8k upscaling as well as it uses ai to

76
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,479
like do better noise reduction and all that kind of

77
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:19,520
stuff and we don't really know when it's going to be available and we don't know

78
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
pricing oh

79
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,479
hi sorry i mean hey guys

80
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,759
you know you're not going to be able to get away from that until you stop saying it shout out to Linus kind of i'm just

81
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,280
going to like jump off a second he's got an lg gram with his notes right beside

82
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,400
the camera right now can you just show i'm not even hiding it that's really

83
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,360
impressive i memorized my notes i have to check my

84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,639
phone like every five seconds to memorize my notes that's very impressive that's not memorized that's checking

85
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,400
your phone every five seconds and then i have to memorize

86
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,280
so the launch is supposed to be sometime in q2 we have no price and it's got

87
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:00,800
google assistant and alexa so here's a bit of a better look at the

88
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,160
fancy stand so that panel in the middle seems like it comes off for a vase

89
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,520
amount and then that panel gives us the i o we don't really know how this like

90
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:12,000
cable management they've got going on here works but that's all kind of tbd

91
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:18,080
what has a more basic stand is their nano cell 8k tv so just like that one

92
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:20,560
the entire lineup here is one model a 75

93
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:26,319
inch model that's 8k nano cell equipped with the same alpha 9 gen 2 processor

94
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,759
and their local dimming pro which has twice as many dimming zones as their

95
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,759
non-pro but we don't know how many the non-pro has so it's not that meaningful

96
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,840
we have no brightness numbers on this but uh same thing should be available

97
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,600
later this year what's not available later this year because it's available

98
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,520
now is the dbrand grip the dbrand grip is the super lifeproof case from dbrand

99
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:48,960
it's precision cut so it's got cutouts for your camera fingerprint sensor

100
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,800
whatever else you need it's got their trademark super clicky buttons and of

101
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,440
course it's dbrand so you can customize it with one of their true textured 3m

102
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,720
vinyl skins in whatever look suits you best the really cool thing that's

103
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:04,400
totally unlike anything they've done before though is their prison screen

104
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:09,520
protectors these things are kind of unbelievable they've got this really neat applicator that makes it so you can

105
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,240
put it on perfect every time and the impact resistance that this adds to your

106
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:18,960
display absolutely blew me away nothing in the demo is staged you put it on you

107
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,880
hammer a nail in with it you take the thing off and your screen is still

108
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:26,880
pristine underneath i mean obviously there are limitations if you were to you

109
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,280
know hit it with a sledgehammer yes you would you would shatter your entire

110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,360
phone not just the screen but i've never seen anything quite like this in terms

111
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,039
of just a slap on screen protection product so check it out at the link in

112
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,599
the video description guys don't miss any of our ces 2019 coverage um probably

113
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,800
the rest of it that you see will be after the show actually opens and

114
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,039
there's not like sky jacks all over the place but yeah who knows
