so i'm sure you guys did not expect this to happen because normally we take
0:05
forever with projects like where the heck is six workstations one
0:09
CPU am i right anyway the walls are up the electrical's in the
0:15
power's in the ceiling's painted the light fixtures are coming in the LMG
0:21
employee lounge is coming together and
0:24
sponsored by samsung we will actually be outfitting as completely as we can today
0:30
the first corner of it this is going to
0:33
be the big screen gaming big screen
0:36
content corner and it is all thanks to samsung who sponsored this video inside
0:42
this crate is a what is it 75-inch tv
0:46
can it handle it i think it can it's pretty nailed together and their n950 this is their
0:52
top-of-the-line sound bar so we're going to rip this thing open
0:56
get it installed get some couches going you ready oh that's a bad idea i'm up
1:00
here yeah oh is it wobbly
1:11
so we have more than just Jake to help us today
1:14
actually Yvonne's going to be joining us because she's been doing all of the like
1:19
knick-knack and interior decorating shopping i was there too we want the
1:25
yeah but come on you're taking too long
1:29
who puts a crate together with nails
1:33
all right yeah that's about enough of that you know what these are the tools i
1:37
was given Jake okay this is super dangerous let's oh
1:41
gosh yeah whoa
1:44
just drops it on himself holy should we just tip it over
1:48
oh my gosh that looks painful i'm in here i got this
1:51
it's all good are you standing on the sound bar no
1:55
no i was i'm not anymore oh my gosh
2:01
512 watts 17 built-in speakers 7.1.4
2:10
oh what else we got here 4k pass-through
2:16
we are professionals why are you guys holding it sideways because Jake tilted
2:20
it i don't know i
2:24
wow this is way easier with the handles okay
2:28
okay hello okay why didn't we just tip it that's what i said earlier not with
2:33
you in flight why not
2:36
you're good now you can go straight just let go it's fine i'm right i'm on the
2:40
bubbles what could go wrong see
2:43
wow with your samsung tv comes a free Linus
2:48
don't scratch the floor don't drag it on the floor i'm just dragging it lightly
2:52
stop dragging it on the floor just leaves a giant scratch all the way
2:56
that's good that's good is this the coffee table yeah i thought
3:00
we agreed on something like foldable and easy to stow away how much did we spend
3:05
did we spend 300 on this because the one that i wanted was 300 you're like 300 on
3:08
a coffee table that's stupid then we bought one that doesn't fold for 300 can
3:14
it hang up out of the way yes look at the metal feet you can hang it from the
3:17
metal feet fine okay uh where's the tv stand over there
3:22
in pieces so do you want to take the tv out while i build this sure
3:27
wow ow
3:30
i literally just paid him to do that
3:36
let's lift this up a little more boy
3:39
i mean this is really intended to be done by two people but so i am pretty
3:44
excited about this tv's big
3:48
it's quantum dot whoa
3:52
oops what did you just drop and it has freezing
3:57
i didn't break it can i push you over now
4:00
where'd he go like the crate that would actually be very uncomfortable in this
4:05
case so this is samsung's one connect
4:08
box this allows all the i o
4:11
and i think even power then they've got this little tiny cable
4:18
okay the connector is big but the cable itself is so thin that carries all the
4:23
signaling data for the display and power
4:27
isn't that incredible i love this thing you all you already
4:31
put all the dowels in i did that's why why is that one sticking out
4:35
so far Jake have you ever seen a tv stand piece that looks like this
4:42
ah
4:46
dang it oh there's like cable management
4:49
built into this thing why are you putting the stand on it it's going on the wall
4:55
it is yes i love these handling strips they have
4:59
on their tvs though that is so handy
5:03
why are you guys using an impact driver for that it's cheap furniture
5:08
that's a bad idea and you know it Jake
5:12
they're supposed to be on the other side
5:16
see there's not even the right amount of holes on the other side okay well we can
5:19
just take it apart now whoopsies way to go Jake that wasn't
5:23
even me that was you under kid i said it was okay yes
5:27
but only after she like made me think it was the right one
5:31
wow deceptive marketing
5:34
so i'm basically set up on the tv here i'm a little bit ahead of those guys so
5:39
first i actually thought it came with two subwoofers but that that would be
5:44
that would be stupid nobody does that um and what it actually is
5:48
is the sound bar itself and then it comes with a rear wireless speaker kit
5:52
that not only fires forward or well i mean forward towards you the user so
5:58
backwards towards the tv i don't know it doesn't matter but it also fires upward
6:03
so that's part of how they're achieving the whole
6:06
atmos and dtsx compatibility thing so
6:09
that's probably also why if you look up
6:13
samsung insisted that we do this video somewhere with a ceiling
6:18
ah right because we were initially gonna do the lounge on that side
6:22
and they were like ah that's not a great idea
6:27
the more you know this thing isn't aligned okay who
6:31
assembled this david okay i have like super mangled
6:36
this do you believe that line is okay all
6:40
right all right all right we might be about to have a bit of a
6:45
challenge here though what's wrong well our stand is about the thickness of
6:49
the tv oh it's just right
6:53
uh wrong what do you mean wrong where does the sound bar go
6:59
so here it is two HDMI inputs and then
7:03
we've got HDMI to the tv out with audio return channels so that
7:08
way we only have to have just the one cable and we can use a single remote for
7:12
both of them all things that i learned last time now
7:16
that is a big fat no oh
7:21
so do we need to wall mount the tv we do
7:25
like what is this well this isn't man cavey we wanted purple
7:29
accents Jake actually picked this out himself you're not proud
7:33
no what is this that doesn't belong in a
7:36
man cave where's the like darth vader mask that hangs on the wall
7:40
and has glowing red eyes that's gonna be on that side you wanted darth vader there he is i
7:45
actually had to convince Jake to buy this so you remember how you told me that
7:48
they're supposed to be fluorescents in the ceiling and then light fixtures
7:52
which you told me not to do i did not no she didn't want to do but it's because i
7:56
didn't know that he wanted both i thought he just like i thought we were
7:59
either going to do fluorescents or pictures here well anyway i put in bulbs
8:03
and then i went and i turned off all the lights and it is dark it's dim as hell in here
8:09
you're not going to be able to play ping pong in this light no but there will be
8:12
a light over for the straight up tyler do you feel like the lighting
8:17
they're providing to you is suitable here i can see well enough in this light yes
8:22
then why do you need those glasses yeah didn't pay him before this at all
8:27
you two just have no idea what you're doing i mean the good news is you guys
8:31
did a fantastic job of getting this set up i think are we ready to try this out
8:38
mostly the tv is on the wall there's a box there
8:42
ah wow wow can you not i think i scratched the
8:46
floor wow yeah i got it pretty good there
8:51
so that goes through that super thin wire and then this goes to our sound bar
8:56
right and that's basically all we need because we can plug our console into
8:59
either this or the sound bar oh peel that over oh i can do a peel
9:05
oh yeah how much did we pay for this driftwood
9:11
like four dollars or something
9:15
wow week week peel game no i think that was pretty crisp
9:19
why was that week also do you like our decorations better now this doesn't seem
9:23
very mancavi what's that supposed to be jenga okay so how do we install this we got
9:28
our tv box plugged in yeah that's plugged into the tv yeah so the xbox can
9:33
go into our sound bar man this thing is heavy like it's thick
9:39
the n950 is the most premium model in samsung's soundbar lineup and is the
9:43
only sound bar on the market that offers realistic dolby atmos 7.1.4 surround
9:49
audio when you pair it with their wireless rear speakers which are unique
9:52
to the n950 these speakers have special
9:55
upward firing drivers that bounce off the ceiling that allow them to work in
9:59
unison with the standard side firing drivers and the sound bar itself in
10:03
order to achieve these four top speaker channels and offer a more
10:06
multi-dimensional audio experience the n950 was also born out of a
10:11
collaboration with harman kardon where their over 65 years of audio expertise
10:16
along with samsung's software engineering came together to create the
10:19
ultimate immersive soundbar experience just to be clear to our viewers this
10:24
xbox is here because we want to show off like the media playback capabilities
10:29
there will absolutely be a gaming tower just like
10:34
chill in here let me just slide that back there and boom it looks pretty good
10:38
yeah i mean we have to do some touch-ups yeah here obviously but do we can we
10:42
just turn it on now i think so i got the remote theoretically
10:46
is that how this works oh hey hey all right where's our sub did we
10:52
plug that in no we forgot okay oh so we
10:55
could well mount the soundbar too yeah i don't think we should so how does it
10:59
wall mount is it flush or does it stick out so it's basically flush if we ever
11:03
decided it's like i don't know a centimeter away from the wall so we can
11:06
decide that later okay i should take this off this looks really stupid
11:11
oh
11:15
how's that uh mount treating you there bud
11:22
oh that's hard to watch
11:26
full peel oh oh yeah
11:32
go inside oh my god
11:38
wow well the colors it throws off wow
11:42
that is the biggest peel i have ever done
11:47
i want to wear this peel
11:52
i like that flourish there where do you want to put this up just beside it i
11:55
guess i love how the terms and conditions are all in english
12:00
so what do we have plugged in why did you plug the xbox into the sound bar isn't that supposed to go into the tv
12:03
and then the tv and the sound bar communicate you can do it either way it doesn't matter
12:07
okay so
12:12
smart guess
12:15
okay let's try that again if only it was that simple power right
12:20
okay why don't we finish setting up the soundbar because we've got the subwoofer
12:26
to make sure it's working and then we've got the rear speakers to pair
12:30
135 to 150 degrees
12:37
uh using the remote control i think we can figure that out installing the wall
12:41
mount the subwoofer and the surround speakers will connect to the soundbar
12:44
automatically if they're plugged into electrical outfits oh outlets oh well
12:48
they're already blue are they blinking or on they're just on perfect so then
12:52
we're good to go
12:56
is that an electric couch do you need a pillow too
13:01
this is basically a bed yeah it's pretty great right oh the bass
13:05
is working all right well the sub is working
13:10
oh yeah it's just subtle it's not that loud right now
13:13
oh my click b what is this x x x
13:19
i hate games now it's like you just want to play the game and they're like oh oh
13:23
here's a loot box go away
13:26
you have to sign in yeah yeah no that's normal so you can save your so you can
13:30
save your progress what button do i press to go i don't know
13:34
your car is definitely faster
13:40
sure thank you
13:48
right the rear speakers are really cool so they're angled and then they're tuned
13:51
in software to bounce off the ceiling and the walls in a given space to mimic
13:56
a much more complicated and more expensive surround setup really excited
14:00
to check these out you got to be over here for us to have the surround
14:04
experience so this is this is it you ready this is the pinnacle of modern
14:08
engineering right here other than billy bass
14:14
whoa you really hear it a little bit
14:25
i can see why they like this demo because whenever you get anything moving
14:28
across the screen it's like yeah
14:32
but it feels like there could be speakers like over there yeah
14:39
yeah we were at like 30 volume so crazy
14:43
so massive continuity error obviously the couch has uh arrived but samsung
14:48
sent us over one more clip to try and of course we've got our uh new couch
14:54
proper couch game going on now and this is too good this is ridiculous maybe a
14:58
little too much oh wow it's like it's like a bed
15:03
all right all right here we go this is the full experience here
15:14
have you seen this movie no i haven't actually i haven't either
15:21
you can really tell like like what direction they're coming from
15:24
like the guys that are coming up from the right you can hear it coming from that side
15:28
and that's the clip that was quick that's awesome yeah
15:33
at most man we're gonna have to leave this here
15:36
we're gonna have to leave it here of course we're leaving it here what this is this is part one of the lounge
15:41
part one's like part three this is like yeah part two actually this place is
15:45
gonna be awesome yeah and we don't even need more light
15:51
so i guess all that's left now aside from making another joke about
15:54
continuity and the leather couches being back is to thank samsung again for
15:58
