 VR gaming, couch gaming, tabletop gaming, board gaming, this room does it all or It will. You see beneath its tidy organized facade is a veritable chaos zone of straps, adapters, cables, game consoles, controllers and all other manner of accessories that I need to turn into a cohesive gaming experience and And oh at the center of all of it is gonna be LG's QNED mini LED LG sponsored this video and this bad boy will hold over a thousand nits in a 25% window that coupled with features like auto low latency mode, extremely low input lag and accurate colors are gonna make this the Perfect centerpiece for this space because as you guys may or may not have noticed There's a lot of freaking bright windows coming into this room Meaning that a low brightness TV is not really gonna cut it. Oh, look at this the Cavalry's here I'm obviously gonna need some help. Oh, I was about to say help from our sponsor, but our sponsor's LG Roll the intro The first thing we're gonna need is your geek squad skills Jamie, that's right. You're mounting another TV Why not? But this one presents some special challenges See we thought LG was gonna send the 86 inch version of this which is an amazing set, but we got the 75 That's why Jake got a wall mount that weighs over 50 freaking pounds Teamlift meanwhile Dan you and I actually get the worst job Oh crap, we get to move the foosball table which prepare yourself weighs about a thousand pounds I don't think I'm that strong and clear all the camping stuff out of here. So first things first Let's get this moved over that way. Oh, he was lying Well, it feels like it to me the thing about being really slow to put away your Christmas stuff is by the time you put it Away, it's almost time to take it back There's not really anywhere to pile this stuff in here. Yeah, there's some right here. Oh my gosh in all seriousness How do you want this organized? There's no plan. It's real. Oh, I Mean I get it. You're new here. You figure ha He it's got to be just an act the way he is on camera Organized three guesses what this is Suppository clear evidence that I have small children. That's what I was going for Close though. Hello homeowner. Where would you like me to hang the TV? Oh my god. Can you just dial back the Geeks squad? For ten minutes. You said I had to use my Geeks squad skills Where would you like me to hang it then tell me it's too high? Here's what I'm thinking. Mm-hmm We're probably gonna end up with the 86 inch version of it at some point because it's a pretty big wall But we also have to consider that this can't go too far that way Yeah, so that we have access to the vacuum hose Yeah, and then it can't go too far this way because this grill right here is the air return for the HVAC we've got both power and Network and a recessed wall plate here so that we could even mount something like a completely flat gallery style TV We've got a conduit here that runs two locations. It runs down to the bottom So if we wanted to have an AV receiver or something like that in the console it would wait what holy crap Did they not oh they didn't punch the hole for it. No, okay. We'll have to find that. Yeah boy Wait, oh, I see wait. What the yeah, the hell was their intention here? Oh my god, it's right behind the whites. It just is right behind the electrical socket. Why would they do that? Why you as you can? It's not that ain't gonna work Yeah, this is stupid. You want me to take the hang on? Yeah, I should kill the breaker here though Were you about to stick a screwdriver in there? Yeah, whatever It's 120 volts between friends. Yeah, if we share it, it's only half. This one's tripped Yeah, it's the microwave the breaker apparently tripped No, no, no Wait, so it's off We found where the fish wire comes out. Yeah, but it appears to be just like a hole in the wall There's no actual conduit in there. Oh good. Yeah, we have no idea if that's going where we think it is But the fish wire seems to know where it is. Yeah, this is not very professionally done In my opinion, our low voltage contractors watching you heard me. I wouldn't have done it that way But I'm also not a low voltage contractor Why is nothing ever simple? That's what I'd like to know Oh there it is. Okay. Okay. Well, I guess it works. There's just no point of egress for it No, and there was no plan for HDMI other than just what you kind of run it like Bareback right next to the frickin metal contacts. Like I don't understand what they what their intention was Also, they kinked this cat 6a in a couple of spots. Nice screwdriver. Thanks Soon to be LTT store.com eventually We are going to take the TV out of the box Dan and I we're gonna man Measure up the plate on the back of the TV Dan doesn't know how to use a knife That's fine. And then we're gonna see how it's gonna sit on the wall We'll use the template for that while they're working on that. I am finally going to replace my ancient NFS12A fans with these NFP12 reduxes, they're better for static pressure Which I actually found was a problem because I've got a grill in the bottom here that made it so that it's quite a bit more Restrictive. This is the compartment that contains the VR gaming PC by the way, whatever you do. Don't break the sponsor TV That's a good idea. It's a thick boy. I tell you get full array local dimming though it uses an IPS panel and then it has a mini LED array behind it that will selectively dim in the darker parts of the scene and Selectively brighten in the brighter parts of the scene to achieve a much much better than native contrast ratio Natively this thing will do a little over a thousand to one according to ratings.com and then with the most aggressive local dimming setting It'll do more like six thousand to one Andy I'm gonna put the arms on the back of the TV and Dan's gonna throw the instructions away because we don't read them anyway, but while we're doing that is so that we can take a measurement So that we know Where the TV is gonna sit on the wall Dan have I ever told you how many TVs I've mounted? Judging by your experience, maybe one or two at least at least two. It's like somewhere between six and eight hundred I did it for four days a week ten hours a day two years. I get to continue doing that. No I'm letting you do it this time. Oh there appear to be plenty of studs to choose from well, there's four in this room nice This is gonna be way better Not only did I upgrade the fans, but I also got these cool little noise Isolating thingamaboo verse that cover the entire frame of the fan. So we shouldn't have any vibrations from these bad boys I don't think my arms are long enough to reach both sides of all Slenderman. You need Slenderman. No, I'm good. I got it Slenderman is useless. I wish I had put this tool kit somewhere else All right, those aren't going anywhere cool Hey Linus, do you want to be upset about something Dan wants to make you upset? Sorry What this is but where the bottom of the TV is gonna sit roughly bottom of the TV is gonna be here Yeah, so we can take this in just bring it down until it's like Yeah Or we could just hang it above the fireplace as God intended Disgusting that might actually function Dan We're gonna do it like we did the projector screen where we Completely mess up the magnet holes and then have to put the thing on twice. How many TVs you've you done 800 or so? I don't know. You're the one measuring their kiddo. So it's gonna be slightly off-center. You okay with that Linus? Well the choice the the full motion part of it will make it on center But also the plate will slide on the on the watch. Oh wait No, oh the hoods my doodles because what we could do is take this off Yeah, and then I have a horrible horrible hole in the wall like that one. What? Every time I tune into what they're saying. It's something awful something awful. Yeah Well, so where's the sledgehammer and then we'll make a bigger hole also don't let him see this don't yeah Don't let him see that Why don't we sort through here and figure out what some of the key items that need to go in the console? Are you've got the Wii U network switch? This will do 10 gig to the main computer here and then a 10 gig link back to the house and 1 gig to everything else That's from Asus. Oh VR trackers, this is a Vive tracker 2.0 and a track belt. So this gives me hip presence in VR. That's why I can never lie in VR OG shield a big fat heavy one ultimately all gonna have to be wired in somehow. Oh That ain't going anywhere can you try and hang off it then Oh my goodness you guys are putting the TV on yeah, do you need help can I help What that was it doesn't look very done. I guess it's a good time to mention the anti-glare coating on the screen Yeah, it's not on right now But that's another thing that the additional brightness will help with is reducing glare from these windows back here Wow in spite of the weight Hey credit to this mount It's pretty manageable. Actually, I kind of have access to the conduit hole here. Okay, this TV is officially Never coming this far out from the wall again Because I'm gonna need some more slack there comes a time in every man's life when he must move the stand closer to the wall Yeah That's that's what I was gonna say. Oh What what it tried to try to rip it. Oh Well, that was close. Yeah. Oh we good. Oh, look at that. Look at that and like yeah Freaking easy. All right, our task cams batteries are dead. So we're filming on my cellular telephone He's currently taking down a lighthouse for Linus's v-har unit now We're gonna go up in the attic and take that wire Oh Down. Oh, yeah, Dan is currently engulfed in Whatever that is It doesn't taste good. It's trapped it behind a thing. I have to go deeper in he has to get very very fluffy I hope nothing bites me it goes through the wall. Where is this moving anything over there where you are? Yes Dan has emerged from the attic more fluff than man Dan tell me how they taste Oh Success Dan, how would you rate our success today? Yes. Yes. Yes out of five. Yeah Perfect score. All right, I'm hoping to just transplant my old harmony remote setup here and just Pick up right where I left off So it's one button to select all the right inputs and outputs and you know power on devices power off devices If not, I'll have to find another solution there are other universal remotes that exist now that Logitech shuttered the harmony division or I could just rely on CEC but the Issue is that with a PC Relying on CEC which is where you power on one device and it tells the associated devices to power on is that? PCs are just not really designed with that in mind So what you need is one of these old Microsoft IR receivers and then you can tell it to issue a sleep or wake Command to the computer so that it won't just be sucking back a hundred watts all the time It's got a 3d80 in there So I ran some wires and then Dan and I are gonna try and figure out how this thing works some kind of transfer Always make sure that when you're working on high voltage electronics use a metal chair So that if you screw up you don't have to do it anymore or come to work again. This is a really neat little box It's basically a 12 volt distribution block It'll deliver about an amp to It looks like 18 different sources. Yeah, so we're plugging all of the lighthouses into this Yeah, we're definitely doing wall warts in here. Well, I'd like to transform her in and that didn't immediately explode. So sick Let's try with this. Okay, right. I See it something just happened. Oh The light flashing. Oh, it's moving Is there a laser inside there? There is a laser and there's a little motor and it spins the laser and oh Don't don't read that don't read this. Okay, we're done It's like there's a law against everything going right in a vlog two out of our four power cables for the VR base Stations are dead in some way. This one doesn't appear to terminate anywhere and the one over on this side Seems to have gotten a nail through it at some point because we can find the other end of it, but can no work No power. The good news is Hey LG, good job the TV managed to turn on so that's awesome but there is a bit of extra work that I'm gonna have to do because an Excellent attempt was made at cable managing and installing everything into the console But this computer does not go in like that because the intake is right here So it needs to sit right side up so it can draw that fresh air from the bottom fans in Let's go. Oh wow. Look at this. This door is gonna come off to Freaking fantastic. Thanks way fair. This one from way fair. Yeah Yeah Thank you Oh wonderful, let's never do that again Here's something special about this machine It's got this old I believe it's made by sonnet old USB card that has an individual controller for every one of the four ports having more than one of these on a single controller and Some other boards might have two or maybe three controllers But having them share with any other devices can lead to unexpected problems So I've given each of them their own dedicated USB controller freaking ridiculous There we are that is a couch one That's how you use a couch Are we trying to make things look pretty for the video or are we just trying to go for functional? How about pretty functional? Well, I have one thing that might make it Look better, which is really easy a carpet What a good idea. Let's do the carpet. Okay, now we go. We are not centered Not even a little. We'll fix it in post I had these grand designs about how I was gonna put little magnetic things and have everything cable managed really perfectly against the back but instead We're gonna do classic cable management Okay there now it's centered. I mean the space is starting to look kind of game-ery actually All right. Let's talk features. Finally. Okay. We got Dolby vision support. We've got filmmaker mode support Here if we find oh you have plex on here. Heck. Yeah. Is this even gonna find my plex server? This was last plugged in at my old place. No interface What? This switch is not powered. Oh Because I didn't plug it in. Is the soundbar kicked in? Settings. HDMI Arc device. Look at that. Did it just pick it up? No problems I mentioned that it has the alpha 7 processor does like 4k upscaling. This is 4k content anyway, but Has that so that's the reason that I chose to use my old shield that does not do AI upscaling Here and then I've got my new shield over in the theater room actually the glare is not that bad Which is exactly the goal in this room even with the studio lights on motion smoothing is on that's stupid So let's go ahead and fix that. I think there's actually more optimal setting than off So don't quote me on that but off is one way to make sure you're not getting any kind of smoothing Wow HDR looks awesome though. I'm fairly certain it's on It's not even oh wait, it's not on you know ratings said that their SDR readings for this TV were really good really bright but wow That's really bright. I thought HDR was enabled. Well, I guess we're sliding all the way to the right Okay, and that's better this looks awesome though not much else to say Thanks LG for sponsoring this video. We're gonna enjoy many an hour playing games in here massive shout out Dan and Jamie from logistics who were coerced into being here against their will If you enjoyed this video, maybe you'll enjoy the last time LG sponsored this video Pretty cool video as well stark before and after there's your problem your anus ain't distended enough Oh god
