The Most Pixels Ever on Unbox Therapy...

All right, ladies and gentlemen, on this table, there's a very large object

I think this is the first 8K TV that I've had in the studio

Is that fair to say, Jack? That's the first 8K TV? It's taken this long

LG, where you been? Well, I guess you're right here right now

It's a 75 inch. It's new for 2020. And I know what you're saying

I know what you're saying. I know what you're thinking. you're saying why 8k what can i even do in 8k can i game in 8k can i can i watch in 8k

and here's the thing youtube you can actually watch 8k but you also might be interested in 4k

high frame rate because this has the hdmi ports to support those next generation consoles you might

pick up also you might just want to shoot your own 8k content because there are a number of

smartphones, which are currently capturing 8K themselves in video, and you can throw them on

this TV, and you can impress all your friends. You can have them come over and go, look, that's my

those are my home videos in 8K. Meanwhile, your TV is 1080p, and these are my home videos in 8K

You see how that all works right there. Anyway, so this is the LG NanoCell AI ThinQ 75 NAN 099

It's their top of the line non-OLED TV. And apparently they've done all kinds of fancy things inside of here to get a performance that's similar to OLED

But to give you a price that's a little bit more approachable in the 8K resolution

Because it's using their NanoCell technology. There's also a processor built into here

This gets back to the 4K versus 8K content or even 1080p content

they claim with the new a9 gen 3 they're gonna be able to upscale all that other content so that

you get something kind of close to an 8k experience even if you don't have that 8k input we're gonna

check that out as well true cinema experience so it's got dolby atmos it's apparently got some

decent speakers in it though you might want to put the sound bar or whatever else a bunch of

different modes for sports even gaming with a lower input lag for when you get those next

generation consoles and then of course it's got all your apps baked in as well you have Netflix

Disney Plus Prime Video Apple TV I've been using LG's TVs for a long time you have a quick interface

you have the motion kind of control with their controller Alexa built-in AirPlay works it's all

out the box you don't have to connect anything to it if you don't want to you can start using it

right away just like that ending up oh baby I almost got your lens there imagine that

a blu-ray remember those yes

That's a lot of pixels in there, I'll tell you what. A lot of people, they hear 8K, they think, oh that's double 4K

No, it's four times 4K. It's a tremendous number of pixels. You don't even get me started on 1080p in 2020

Get me started. Look at all this plastic we have to peel off

This is Kirk's favorite moment. Here we go. I don't know

I mean this is our real, this is our life. This is a moment in time. This is what it actually is

Ain't no fancy B-roll in life, I'll tell you what. What was that

You're not gonna get me to repeat that. We gotta flip this. This is gonna be a flipper-ooski

Woo! There you go. The scale and the scope. 75 inches. Many millions of pixels

Alright, let's check out the back here. Inputs, outputs. that's three usbs that's a few extras also these are the important ports right here

capable of 8k at 60 hertz these are the new style hdmi ports there's four of them and they're also

going to be capable of 4k high frame rate up to 120 fps so that's useful like i said for those new

game consoles you also have the old school av ins if you still want to use those this one's kind of

important the optical digital audio out this lets you use your tv essentially as a receiver and then

send the optical out to whatever sound setup you have you also have a headphone output a land port

and an antenna slash cable in oh interesting so you have some cable management as well if you

If you decide to mount it you have some cable management. You can send your different cables through here

I think this probably pops off Oh, yeah, there you go Send your different cables through there

And then you can put this plate over top to keep it looking clean from any angle

every angle Alright, so this is important this has to do with the upscaling because that's gonna be a lot of what you're doing with an

8k tv in 2020 oh check it check it check it this is a demo look at this okay look at his face off

on boom so apparently the ai knows what faces look like it knows what trees look like and

sort of fills in the gaps so it's not just mashing noise in there but instead it's intelligently

guessing which information should be added to your 4k image or even 1080p image so that so that

it looks good on a tv capable of a lot more lg's deep learning technology can enhance image clarity

and resolution according to the content being viewed and provide optimized depth effects and

virtual 5.1 three-dimensional surround sound so i guess we'll turn it on for sound as well why not

i going to load up youtube as you would if you were looking for 8k content right now there There actually quite a bit on YouTube Thank goodness for that So we can we can see the the actual intended number of pixels without any upscaling necessary Now

this is going to become more common fairly shortly because of the new video codecs that

are emerging that can take 8k and make it small enough that you can stream it without having tremendous bandwidth, though we do have pretty decent bandwidth here. Japan Oh

That's all the K's So here's the thing It's using a new codec

I believe it's called AV1 And it's a partnership YouTube has with some TV manufacturers

This TV features it AV1 which is the reason you can Unlock 8K

directly in the YouTube app on the TV. No external equipment necessary

So the processor's taking care of everything. You're going to have to have the bandwidth

as I mentioned. But then, afterwards, pixel paradise! That's Japan. Tokyo

Colors. Neon. Neo-Tokyo. I can't believe Willie Do's missing. Willie Do's a big Tokyo guy

Willy do, can you hear me? You know what I can tell you after examining this

The extra pixels gives it an enhanced feeling of depth from the foreground to the background

Because it kind of creates a sharper edge around objects. As opposed to just sort of mashed potatoes

I'm not calling 4K mashed potatoes. But I'm just saying this is an increased

You can't see it on that video. That's only 4K. I mean, you had to take my reaction

That's what you got to work with here. But I will say, to get the most out of it, you need to think about your viewing distance

Certainly. Because as I get further away, it still looks great. there's still tremendous detail, but all of a sudden the human eye, you start to run into human

eye issues and the capability of the eye to resolve those pixels at this distance. So I'm

going to want to sit pretty close to an 8K TV. I'm going to want to get lost in an 8K TV

I will also mention that this particular video has a lot of dark areas. And one of the things

that used to plague LCD technology or anything other than OLED technology is that you would

kind of see a gray tone. You would kind of see a mud tone wherever you would have something

intended to be black. And that's where OLED had that huge advantage. But as you can see, like down

here, where the black bar on the video goes into the water, it's hard to even discern where that

line is. You can see it over here because you're not completely black above that. But in the

sections that are that goes to show you that they've done a lot of work on the local dimming

stuff it's never going to be completely to the oled level but oled 8k is an order of magnitude

more expensive this is going to be more approachable for people price wise who want to step into 8k now

it looks way better than the lcd i have at my house right now i have an older

like a really big like an 86 inch and the dimming on that one you can kind of see it working on this video on the other hand it a much kind of smoother gradient that it creates between the dark and light regions Like

you don't see it bleeding over. I mean, you have brightness here and dark right beside it

Hmm. It's pretty good. That's a cat in 8k

Yeah, that's 8k. Whoa. Look at the hairs. You know how I'm always goofing on the beard hair test

The cat hair test. Or the spider hair. Do spiders have hair

Dear lord. Imagine it at that scale. You know what I'm saying

Look at the flies on the frog. That's a fly! Whoa. Pixels

That. That's a frame. That's an actual. That's a frame. Whoa. Very lifelike

See, this is where resolution comes into play. Fine detail, hairs, things like this

As much as I like OLED, you just can't. You may have infinite contrast with OLED, but there's detail

If you capture it in 8K, there's extra detail there if you're looking for it

So 8K, it's obviously, it's fringe stuff. It's still cutting edge. It's that early adopter kind of spec right now

But that's kind of the things, that's the thing about TVs is you don't buy them that often

So if you're in the market for a TV right now, you're thinking about 8K because you kind of want to future-proof it

especially if you're looking at something this scale or with a price tag like that

You want to invest in something that you're not going to have to replace anytime soon

And that's where this comes in. You pair with it the game console component where you need those new HDMI ports anyways

and all of a sudden, you can maybe make a case for it. This is obviously going to be more important the bigger the display you choose to go with

Because as this thing shrinks, or as you sit further away from it

like I said, you run into that issue with being able to actually resolve the detail with your puny little human eyes

If you had his eyes, on the other hand, that'd be a different story to sit all the way back there

So, if you are going to go with 8K, get a display big enough to really appreciate it

this one is 75 inches say go for the bigger one and i say who cares about the decor sit as close

as you can to it fill your peripheral like i want to be did i just kick the camera i want to be

okay maybe not that close i want to be i want to be right here maybe even maybe right where this

camera is is where i want to sit which your wife uh girlfriend i don't know if they're gonna be

happy about that? Kirk, could you, would you have a, could you have a set up that close

Oh yeah. Jack? Yeah. Sure. You can set it up. Some Christopher Nolan

Some Stanley. I think Jack in the city, he'd probably be like

right here, right around here
