 This is my living room and it's basically a tech nerds dream giant OLED TV Valve index VR gaming setup with full-body tracking high-performance gaming PC game consoles Six consoles! enough controllers to choke a horse But it's missing one key thing Looks so today with the help of LG who sponsored this video and sent over their G10 Gallery 77 inch OLED TV. We're gonna be giving my living room something that it hasn't had in 10 years a clean new Look starting with those couches I Cannot believe how much of a difference it makes going from dark to light flooring and now that it's in We can move on to the important stuff This is the new G 10 gallery design LG OLED in the 77 inch size and it's gonna take up pretty much this whole Recessed area here. It's completely flush mount with no external processing box So it's actually gonna sit really nicely in this enclosure and we're not gonna have the big bulky speakers and everything kind of like Overflowing and looking weird anymore Many of the benefits of the G 10 are ones that I already enjoyed with my last generation C9 It uses OLED technology, which means that every pixel is self illuminating So you've got perfect black levels vibrant colors all that good stuff It's 4k. So obviously the picture is super sharp Even though this is a gigantic 77 inch display it features HDMI 2.1 Which means high refresh rate gaming not to mention with G sync compatibility add up to 4k resolution and EARC which means higher resolution higher quality audio to something like an external soundbar And of course the design is super thin and modern actually more so on this one I'm used to seeing these TVs have either like a Bulge down at the bottom or Like an external, you know soundbar unit that contains the processing like we saw on their first generation signature series, but this one is just Uniformly pretty thin and one of the reasons they took this approach is there are actually four different ways To mount the G 10 the way we're going with today is using the included wall mount and running cable through the wall with a conduit But if you're not feeling confident in cutting holes in your wall You can use a raceway cable concealer to hide the cables if you do want to get the true flush mount with no gaps You'll need to use a recessed box that goes into the wall But that one will require professional installation the last two ways to install are using a standard VESA 300 by 300 wall mount just make sure it's rated to handle the TV's weight And finally if you're not able to mount the G 10 to the wall You can buy their display stand and have it sit where you want it though I can't say I see the point of going with the G 10 if you're gonna do it that way Even LG's magic remote with its air mouse controls Handy shortcut keys and multi-device control capabilities is much more than just a simple A of content, for example, amplifying voices when there's a bunch of background noise in whatever it is that you're viewing. I guess it would have been a lot smarter to peel it after it's already on the wall. Hey, so which wall mount was I supposed to use for this? I don't see one that comes with it. There's no... come to think of it, I don't see any accessories. I don't even see the... Oh, dang it. I've done this before. Yep. There it is. It has some other features like virtual support for Dolby Atmos, sports alert, which will give you updates on up to 20 teams, even while you're watching other content, and improved motions moving. But since I'm going to be using a higher end sound bar than the integrated speakers and I don't watch sports, those ones aren't nearly as big a deal to me as Dolby Vision IQ, which automatically adjusts picture settings depending on ambient light and content. And this is a really big one for me, filmmaker mode, which is a mode you can put the TV in where it will just strip out any image quality altering filters or anything like that and just display the content as color accurately and as true to the original filmmaker's vision as possible. I'm just putting the sides on the entertainment unit right now. What do you think of the color, Andy? Yeah. Okay. Cool. I was a little worried when I first saw it. Be gentle. That's not gentle. I'm gentle. Let's eyeball it. Come down a little bit. We need to center it. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. But come down a little bit. You're higher than me. Yvonne is higher. Really? Yeah. Okay. How about now? That's good. Fine. I was actually really worried if all of your stuff was going to fit in here, like your receiver. We're not using the receiver anymore. That worked out. Well, that's where this comes in. Now the next thing we need to figure out TV height is the sound bar. I know a lot of people are going to give me a hard time about this, but when you're deciding between discrete speakers for every channel and a sound bar, there's more to it than just necessarily the audio quality and the directionality. I've actually been pretty impressed with the last couple of high-end sound bars that I've tried. So I have pretty high hopes for the SN11RG from LG here. It's a 7.1.4 setup, but because of the setup of my room, I don't really have anywhere to put rear speakers by the time I'm sitting a comfortable distance from a TV that large. So funny story then, I'm not even actually planning to use the included wireless surround speakers that come with this thing. Just the sound bar itself and the subwoofer. I want to at least give it a shot because compared to the old setup, I'm expecting much better directionality because this is a Dolby Atmos sound bar with AI room measuring technology. So it should theoretically, by bouncing sound off the ceiling and off the walls, should sound a lot more directional. I find it very hard to believe that this tiny little bracket holds up that gigantic TV. Those are pretty hefty anchors though. That's a bummer. My stud is right there and right there. So if we were willing to have it not quite centered in this all clove, hey. Yeah? Are we willing to have it not quite centered in the all clove? How close is it? Not that close. Be like this far off. That would be weird. Yeah, I don't even know if it would fit. What I can do is I can create like a mounting plate. But then it's not going to be flush against the wall. No, it won't be quite flush, but like the TV is so flat. You know how long it makes sure it works. It's not working. There, huh. I could hang off that. Please don't. You're going to break my entertainment unit. Well, would you not be entertained? Ready? Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, I didn't see. I just asked you and you put your head through it. So I assumed you meant. I was just messing around. What if we ever took it down and what if we moved and we wanted to mount the TV again? You are not keeping this piece of paper until we move and need to mount the TV again. Yes, I am. It's your not. It's garbage. No, for real. No, really. OK. Can I have a Phillips head bit? Yeah, that one. I know that one. I know that one. It's fine. I can just hold this thing here forever. OK. That is a solid mount. I want to put a hole in the wall to run the cables down the wall. So we've got a completely clean. Um, shouldn't we just do that now? A few moments later. OK, it's in. Oh, so you want to do that again, hey? Hey, that was pretty smooth. Now that we got technique down, doesn't look like crick. How did that happen? Do we need the instructions? Where are the instructions? We don't need instructions. Our walls just not even. Oh, well, now we know it's a little high. We can lower it. Aren't you glad we're doing this test? OK, we're going to cut the hole this time. We're not doing this a third time. Yeah, 100 percent. OK. OK. So how many inches do we need to come down to? Let's try not to sever an optical cable while we're doing this. Just to be clear, neither I nor LG recommends running cables without the proper recessed box. If you want to run the cables in the wall, it's really better to just have a professional come in and do it for you. This is a tough decision. One of the ideas that I had to make this as clean as possible was to move my VR gaming rig upstairs, kind of like what I experimented with in whole house one PC. So we've got a bunch more display port couplers so we could have both of these optical display port cables running through the wall into just like a little wall plate and plug the VR headset to the wall plate. I don't have a ton of confidence that display port over that distance is going to behave nicely. And there are advantages to having the PC right there if you want to just plug something in or whatever. If we want all the cables pre-plugged into the TV before we mount it, that means I'm going to have to salvage some cables from the old setup. To save some time later, I'm actually plugging in every cable I'm going to need now. And then all I need to do is label them on the other end. So this is HDMI connection number one. And it'll be easy to make sure everything's plugged into the right port on the TV without like pulling it out and trying to look under it like that. Okay, that's good. Down. No. Oh, yep. In. In. That's it? Yep. You're good. That was so much easier second time around. There's a lot of cable here, ladies and gentlemen. All right. This is perfect. I can start to mount things to the back of the console and cable manage. I've made the difficult decision to leave the optical cables in the wall, but actually still have everything here for now. In the future, I might explore adding an optical HDMI and maybe having a receiver upstairs and the computer upstairs and stuff like that. But for now, I just want to get everything cleaned up and then I can experiment with that down the line. We're going straight to just hot glue. You can at least improve your chances of it sticking by scuffing up the back a little bit before you put it on. Oops. Well, at least it was sheathed, right? I want the VR headset to be tucked in here when it's not in use. All right. Liz, we need to go over here. Totally painless. Love it. I love it when startup wizards work. No, it goes inside or on the shelf. I'm moving our ugly cat tree back in place. I just won't get rid of it. I won't what? Get rid of it. The cat loves it. Oh, she did not care at all that I moved that. She would care if you got rid of it. Between my remotes and trackers, I've got a lot of VR junk to charge. So this little 10 port charger doodad is going to sit down here with the VR stuff. It's kind of it's not particularly tidy looking, but at least it's hidden away. Ow, my arm is stuck. I hate cable management. It is absolutely crazy how much less cabling and how much less stuff there is now that we don't have the receiver. And I still have five total HDMI inputs. It's not bad. I still don't know how it sounds though. Before we can test it, I want to do their AI room calibration thing. For best results, run it in a quiet state. Okay. Well, now that's set up. Can I put the sword back up? Um, no. The mantle was just painted and also I don't know if we're putting the sword back. Finalization time, the actual AV setup is done. That looks so slick. Like honestly. I put the two chairs in. I think it actually looks better with just one chair, but they comes in sets and I'm just going to clean up, vacuum, put knickknacks up. I think we're almost there. I hate these chairs. Oh, these aren't even comfortable. They're horrible. Here's the debate. Yvonne says my lazy boy is ugly. I say her stupid blue chair is uncomfortable. Let's let the viewers decide. Okay. Ugly, gray, lazy boy or that thing. Oh, oh yeah. Put up, put up the feet. Oh yeah. But mine, which are going to match the wall and they're going to match the accent pillows that are going to go there. It's going to look really nice. This is the kind of seating you have when you want your guests to leave. You can't sit on a couch when it has junk all over it. It's pretty and yes you can. You just adjust them. See that's what I'm talking about. Just going to adjust it. Once you adjust it once, you're good. See here's an adjustment. No, that's. Your pillows can go over there. What are you doing? You mean I call it honest. Before I fire up a game, I want to flip on HDR. Hey you. Are you sad? Would you like a pillow to hug? Yeah. Does that make you feel better? Yeah. What? Oh, the pillow. Oh, what do you think of the new setup there? I'm trying to find my friend right now in the game. Okay. His name is Jonah and we were exploring together. I'm going to fire up one of my favorite looking movies on Blu-ray. So this is how to train your dragon, the hidden world. It took a full day to get everything plunked into place and there's still some finishing touches like these transition strips are mostly missing and this one's not even attached. And you probably noticed some choppiness in the frame rate when I was playing Tomb Raider. That's because this is probably at about 45, 50 degrees in here. It's really, really hot. I got to add ventilation, but it's mostly set up. I'm surprised at how good the soundbar sounds and I'm not surprised, but the TV looks freaking awesome. It's the same OLED technology that I've loved for the last, wow, I mean, my daily driver has been OLED at home for years now, but in a new form factor that gives you absolutely zero distractions whatsoever, especially when you take the time to put it in a setup like this one. Oh, sorry, too loud. So thanks again to LG for sponsoring this video and thanks to you guys for watching it. If you're new to this video, maybe check out the video where I upgraded my old cabinet with cooling. It's a pretty simple mod, but definitely one that's worthwhile if you have hot components that are in an enclosed space.
