so the objective today is very simple
0:04
we are going to take this hot tub
0:08
and turn it into the ultimate gaming
0:11
experience with this lg signature w series 77 inch
0:18
OLED tv yes my friends we are creating
0:22
the world's first gaming hot tub
0:26
here in delta british columbia thermal takes a 500 case has a modern minimalist
0:32
design with brushed aluminum panels and dual hinge swing tempered glass doors
0:36
check it out today at the link below
0:47
the idea is that it's right there you're in your
0:50
hot tub you got your drinks and you got your banging tv right there i'm having
0:55
kind of an anxiety moment here so the box for the tv the tv is actually not
1:00
that much smaller it's just about up to this line on my hoodie pocket here yeah
1:05
okay that's perfect yeah well i don't know if i'd describe it as perfect
1:09
because like you're sitting in here i know but you're oh yeah it's probably
1:13
fine actually i think so i'm going to the outside of the post what are we
1:16
looking at here 107 inches so we need ten foot two by fours yeah three two by
1:21
fours one piece of plywood well hold up it's eight feet in between the two and
1:25
some shelf supplies so why don't we get another piece of plywood and some l
1:29
brackets and let's see if we can shelf it up okay and maybe a couple more two by
1:33
fours i i don't think you love two by fours yeah what do you love why does it have
1:38
an extra two by four if you love two by fours so much why don't you marry them
1:41
i will oh we're back in grade three
1:46
oh there's another box it's boxception
1:49
it's fine that's good why are you there why are you under the box dennis
1:54
just i don't understand the things you do let's go shopping
1:59
i only know to do this because my my dad showed me he's like yeah you gotta
2:04
you gotta check for the you know how warped it is it's pretty warped but we
2:07
don't really care what are you doing
2:10
who carries a 2x4 like that
2:13
that looks pretty nice yeah that's actually not that bad okay cool
2:17
that's not a thing
2:20
no so we got our haul here we got
2:24
four pieces of wood in this shape we got
2:27
two we got two pieces of wood that are shaped more kind of like this
2:31
we've got one piece of wood that's shaped real flat
2:35
and then some screws because we're men and brackets
2:40
man brackets i'm a supervisor okay
2:45
dennis why look at this he's got
2:48
wood why would you hold it there
2:52
good job yeah wood is really long yeah so we mounted
2:57
it to the back of the front oh it's got to be the back otherwise the rain is just gonna
3:01
rain on that there just wanted to make sure expensive tv
3:04
one oh some safety glasses at least 107 what dennis oh there you go there buddy
3:10
107 half what dennis we know
3:14
oh come on dennis
3:17
it's 107 inches should we double check this measurement
3:21
it's 107. should we double check
3:24
one is seven half hey let's double given can we just hold that side let's do it
3:29
you have to trust me no i don't i actually don't at all it's actually
3:32
under 107. that's right on the hundreds of seven hold it tight oh my god what
3:37
i was holding it oh maybe it's longer this side no but what it's literally
3:43
square okay this is not my profession okay i know
3:47
i swear he's really good at something
3:53
i'm a little short
3:56
it's not that it matters it's just that you were right and none of us want to
4:00
admit it what's that wait didn't we already what is seven half you have to
4:03
trust me no i don't i actually don't at all so i was right all right yeah we're
4:08
a little short
4:12
all right so that there's the top of our ingenious
4:15
hot tub gaming mount if you think how many do you need Jake
4:20
Jake Jake it's overkill oh stop stop stop doing it
4:26
it's fine what are you doing can you let go
4:30
straight up let go yeah just dennis let go
4:33
so like this piece of wood is flat on my side brandon and it's pretty not flat on
4:38
that side
4:42
that's actually like fine now that's a lot better than it was
4:48
dennis you move the piece of wood let's let's do let's do some cool measuring of
4:52
the tv to find out how big this thing actually even needs
4:56
to be all right ladies and gentlemen let's measure this tv oh i was thinking
5:00
more like so uh you need your hot tub cleaned
5:04
68 your shirt 68 you sure it's not
5:07
69. like why don't we just lie it down on the top of the hot tub
5:12
that seems smart all right what are you what are you doing get it out of the way
5:17
dennis get it out of the way so here's the piece that actually goes
5:22
on the piece of plywood 68 by 39.
5:29
there we go there buddy okay dennis you can move your hand now
5:34
there we go okay he blows nice
5:37
hey yeah they're buds we mounted a piece of plywood it's very flexible it's
5:42
actually glass no it's like actually very flexible like check this out
5:48
it's super flexible honestly can you help me center it well it looks
5:53
crooked because the deck's crooked yeah i know i know yeah because it's supposed
5:56
to be i mean we probably should have just made it even with the deck yeah uh
6:00
do you want me to get started on the lap board or yeah
6:06
well that's why you're that's why we have so many people here we're supposed to be waterproofing the xbox controllers
6:12
so we're going to basically use a combination of brush on conformal
6:18
coating and spray on conformal coating i'm
6:21
probably just going to end up like going ham with the spray quite frankly i mean
6:24
obviously we're not making this controller waterproof
6:28
like i wouldn't recommend when we're done just like throwing it in the water
6:31
or anything like that but it will be
6:34
quite water resistant to the point where i don't know if the steam would end up
6:39
being a problem or not look i'm not saying you guys suck at this
6:43
but i will say that james and i did not have nearly this james what much
6:51
wait oh oh yeah
6:55
she's on there i don't think so
6:58
i don't trust it honestly this thing wait what no like it could be in and
7:02
i'll just sit here for the rest of the day and hold it because i'm scared that's sick
7:07
yeah so sick that's pretty cool
7:16
and then what i need to do is make little
7:20
masking pieces for anything that i don't want to get
7:23
conformal coating on it
7:26
so we don't have a whole lot of time to do multiple coats and uh let them dry
7:31
so we're going pretty ham here so here you can see i've taped over my
7:35
battery contacts my connectors between the pcbs as well as all my button
7:39
contact pads here so let's hope this one also works
7:45
if on skin wash with plenty of water cool i'm gonna go do that
7:50
okay so to say i put it on a little heavy would be a gross understatement uh
7:54
it's like gooped all over this chip hopefully that's okay it's definitely
7:58
drying it is possible that this controller is completely fubar gentlemen
8:02
i didn't realize that there were pores in
8:05
this tape and so everything i taped off
8:09
might have conformal coating on it they're pretty crap well no the thing is
8:13
they're not that long i think we need a longer bracket that's what i said oh no
8:19
as you guys can see the brackets for the shelves are actually a little bit too
8:23
long so we need to put the second 2x4 in here and then we should be able to get
8:28
the second screw in and it shouldn't be so wobbly
8:32
all is good i tried to goof off the area
8:36
and it actually started to take some of the green
8:40
color off the top of the pcb here so that's that's interesting this is
8:44
unpleasant
8:49
okay dennis don't let him do it oh that's mint
8:55
how does it look it looks good dude this is the moment when we find out if OLED's
8:59
work in sub-zero weather direct sunlight yeah
9:03
sub-zero sorry it's okay yeah a little bit of glare
9:08
is it do we have power
9:12
whoa are there batteries in this remote
9:18
wait is this a button that's just what kind of monster does that oh my god
9:23
hey i think i'm on oh okay this one works
9:27
this one works this one doesn't
9:30
this one doesn't this one does
9:33
this one does that one does that one does
9:38
it's crazy like it's so flat like it basically looks like it's just like in
9:43
the wood like do you guys notice that like it's just like kind of trippy like you're
9:47
just like oh is there yeah okay there's a seam there but
9:51
not not by not by much it's pretty nuts this is crazy it's actually looking
9:56
shockingly good given that the sun is just like on the screen
10:01
all right there we go we devised a plan we recruited agent janice from
10:05
accounting equipped her with 1500 us
10:09
dollars per system and gave her
10:12
some outdoor theater stuff right here
10:15
it actually sounds not bad like especially if you get down on the level
10:19
of the tv i think we actually got the height just
10:22
right like when we're sitting in here it's going to be perfect
10:25
you guys ready and you told me to measure beforehand we hot tubman okay
10:30
you guys ready here we go steamy oh the
10:33
smell of chemicals look at that it's almost like we
10:37
measured it before we did this all right all right i've never actually
10:41
played overcooked with a keyboard and mouse before so here we
10:44
go you guys you ready i'm too short dennis
10:48
you gotta go serve it look at this put on the plate top right where's top right
10:51

11:48
nighttime right now we have sun on the tv and you can barely tell like that's
11:54
what contrast that's what like high contrast is all about right if you can
