Go ahead, Will. It's all yours

Okay, you're going to work. The LG TV 4K Gaming. As you guys know, the next-gen consoles have started to arrive
0:18
This isn't... That's an Xbox Series X, ladies and gentlemen. Now, the coolest thing about these next-gen consoles is the fact that they support more resolution and higher frame rates
0:28
However, the TV that you're using currently may not be able to take advantage of that next-gen console
0:34
And you've already pre-ordered it, whether it's the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5
0:41
So now you need to start thinking about getting yourself a TV that's going to be able to make the most of that console that you're waiting for so patiently that you hit the pre-order button on
0:51
And so in true Unbox Therapy fashion, we're going to go completely overboard here and create kind of the ultimate PlayStation 5 versus Xbox Series X tandem mode double display setup so that each of these can permanently be on one of the two next generation consoles
1:15
These are the latest OLED from LG. The 77GX Gallery Design. Super slim
1:26
Wall mountable. And yes of course they're going to support high refresh
1:31
They're going to support 4K which those consoles are going to output
1:35
And low input lag as well which is something people need to be aware of and looking for
1:40
When they pick up that next display. next display. Also their OLED which is as you know it's a favorite of mine. You know 150 inches
1:50
of gaming. You could have me on the Xbox, Willy Do on the PlayStation, the various exclusives. It's
1:59
the best of both worlds. You don't have to decide. You get both. Also real quick LG's hosting a
2:05
virtual studio where you can do a kind of 3D experience walking through what is like a
2:11
convention center and you can check out all their various products including maybe an even more exciting display compared to these They rollable tech They have a rollable OLED I have not seen it in the studio yet However Jack has told me that it coming at some point
2:30
in the future. So you can get a virtual version of the experience of standing in front of one of
2:35
those by clicking the link in the description and doing your tour of that virtual space that LG
2:41
has set up. It's really good. Give me a quick clap here. Alright
3:02
That is one of the most epic peels in Unbox Therapy history right there
3:17
All right, let me explain how this is all gonna work. Let me explain this to you, okay
3:23
The whole concept of this setup, which actually, I mean, it turned out a little more polished than I expected when it all started
3:30
Two different TVs. This is PlayStation on the right-hand side because it's such a conversation around having to choose which next generation console
3:38
Well, why don't you, what if you just have both instead? And the beauty of this is we actually have the Xbox Series X
3:46
and I can play it right now. I can use it right now. That's the real thing
3:50
Now on the PlayStation side, the PS5 is not here yet. Sony, where you at
3:56
However, we do have a 4K capable PlayStation, PS4 Pro, which you may recall
4:01
It's been out for a while. Okay. Get up. Yikes. That's the rough stuff
4:09
4K capable, but at 60 Hertz. Now where these TVs begin to shine
4:15
is actually at refresh rates beyond 60 hertz. So if we step over to the Xbox Series X
4:23
and you look at the specifics of the display here, oh, would you look at that
4:29
That's 120 hertz on a 77-inch OLED with a Series X connected to it
4:35
I feel like I'm 11 years old right now at 4K UHD resolution Now if I head over to the 4K TV details this is where you can find out the capabilities of your current TV
4:51
And this is where you're going to get real motivated to potentially upgrade your TV after your Series X or PlayStation 5 shows up at your doorstep
5:02
I'll be honest, this game has no business looking this good. It is such a high-res cartoony look right now
5:10
Your TV supports 4K UHD 120. Also, this little information piece, which is important as well
5:16
You do need to use an ultra-high-speed HDMI cable in order to take advantage of 4K 120
5:22
However, that's going to ship with the Series X. I presume the PlayStation 5 would do the same
5:29
No, this is the fat guy. I'm gonna cut that. All right
5:37
And a rat. The sunglasses won. Don't forget best kisser. Colorful. Punchy
5:45
The sound surprises me. This is a crazy thin TV. Look at this thing, all right
5:50
Where is the sound? Where is the sound living in there? I don't even think you need a sound bar
5:56
I don't know. It'll hit you. and the 4K, it really starts to pay off once you scale up
6:03
People ask me this all the time. What size of TV do I need? Well, it really depends how far away you're going to sit from it
6:10
And the closer you are to it, and the bigger the display
6:13
the more you can benefit from extra pixels. What if we got Will in here for a little..
6:18
And somebody gets to play Xbox 360. Yeah. Where is he? Will
6:23
Where is he? Terrifying. Hearing that, imagine. I'm eating
6:44
Here's the way the setup works. Don't you see the green lights and the blue lights
6:49
One of us plays Xbox, the other plays PlayStation. Where one sibling says, no Xbox
6:56
The other one says, no, Sony. Yeah, as long as we can share a couch, it's all good
7:01
This is wild We got our own 77 inches each Mm OLED each 4K each Mm 120 each Mm
7:12
You're on a next-gen console. I'm on an old-gen console. It's not really fair from that standpoint
7:17
That's true. Once we get the PS5, then it's even. I don't know. Yeah
7:22
I agree. Series X versus PS5. But the PS5, we're going to be able to just swap it right in there
7:28
Where's the crack research team when we need it? I swear he stopped recording the longest putt, a wonderful putt, a lovely putt, for a birdie
7:47
He missed. That's a four on a par five. So as you can see, this is the ultimate scenario
7:57
I'm golfing. Kirk's fishing. that's exactly what you need 120 frames for there's only certain titles that we can play
8:07
on the xbox series x so some of the titles that you may be more interested in as far as those fast
8:14
refreshes are concerned i can't actually show them off at the moment if you decide to go with
8:20
the series x or the playstation 5 then this would kind of be the ultimate scenario for how to enjoy
8:27
it plenty of real estate to take advantage of all those extra pixels the refresh the game mode and of
8:35
course all the benefits of OLED which I've talked about extensively on the channel slender package
8:40
super slim so the only thing left we have to do to complete this setup is just plop in the
8:48
PlayStation 5 when it arrives and then it's the head-to-head battle that you've all been waiting
8:52
for. Shout out to LG once again for sending out the 77 GX OLED displays that are the core of this
9:00
particular setup. It's the whole package deal for a cinematic game. It is Sony PlayStation on one
9:07
side, 77 inches OLED versus Xbox, Microsoft on the other side. The Series X is there and waiting
9:16
PlayStation 5 comes next
