Hey guys, this is Austin, and this is
The Ultimate Gaming Setup 2.0.
So, big shout out to LG for sponsoring this video
and letting us build this awesome setup.
The star of the show is the new SJ9 Sound Bar.
I end up using sound bars a lot, not only for
my personal setup, but here in the office.
The big reason for that is that while my full
surround sound system sounds nice, I don't know.
I'm always a little bit nervous about like, annoying
my neighbors about stuff, whereas with a sound bar,
I actually feel a lot better about being able to just
crank the volume and not have to worry about it.
This is a lot bigger than stuff I usually unbox.
We've got the remote, and the sound bar.
So Ken measured this and the sound bar should be
pretty much the exact width of not only the TV,
but the stand.
After looking at this giant box, I was expecting
the sound bar to be bigger.
What's cool about this, is it actually has some
top firing speakers for Atmos support.
I'm not totally sure how well this space
is going to work with Atmos.
The idea is that to get a little bit more of
a surround sound feel,
and not only is it sending sound at you,
but it's also bouncing sound off of the ceiling,
which in theory should give you a much more
surround sound.
This is actually a lot thinner than I thought
it was going to be.
So, (laughs) will it actually fit?
Looks like it's gonna be close.
Oh! All right, you know what?
Props to Ken, this actually fits literally perfectly.
It actually touches both edges, but it doesn't go over.
That's actually pretty cool.
We also have in the middle of this, a subwoofer,
which is not small.
All right, so that whole thing about not being able
to annoy the neighbors.
I take it back.
All right.
So I may have slightly misjudged how big this was.
It still should fit with the setup though.
So, we're actually gonna be doing some interesting stuff
beyond just the sound part of our gaming setup.
So Ken has spent the last couple days building this.
So essentially it's a way of getting the TV off the table
and actually floating.
So not only does that mean that we have plenty
of clearance for our speaker, but because of
this cool design of having a couple pieces of wood
here with the mount, we can actually also just move
the TV easily.
So the setup is actually starting to come together,
but we have a lot of work to do, as you might
be able to tell.
So, montage time!
(electronic music)
So after a frantic afternoon of work, we have the setup,
and it actually looks pretty good.
So, there's a lot going on here.
But to start, we actually have the TV.
Paired with the SJ9 Sound Bar is a 55 inch LG E6 TV.
So not only is this OLED, but it also supports 4K and HDR.
Almost more important than resolution though,
is that OLED display.
Seriously, a good OLED TV looks so, so good.
Completely puts everything else to shame.
But, paired with the SJ9 I'm excited to see,
more importantly hear, what it sounds like.
- Hey guys, it's Austin.
My voice might be gone, but what isn't is
the MacBook Air.
Why does this still exist in 2017?
- All right, that actually sounds pretty good.
So the SJ9, not only are we getting that subwoofer,
which is way, way bigger than I had thought,
but we also have the speakers inside here that gives it
the 5.1 surround, and the two top firing speakers.
So the way we've got this set up is that we have
the PS4 Pro connected to the TV,
so we're getting full 4K HDR there, and then the TV
is passing audio into the SJ9 via HDMI.
That means that not only can we control everything
from one spot, but we're also getting
the best audio quality.
What's cool about this setup is that
the actual subwoofer itself is wireless.
So besides needing to plug it in, this is
a nice, clean setup.
And, speaking of the setup, as you can see Savage Kenny
has been hard at work.
So, not only do we have Waifus,
but we also have cool stuff too.
So we've got our Pipboy action,
more Waifus because, this is Ken's setup.
Sometimes I have to deal with Waifus in order to get a
really cool setup.
I feel that's a pretty fair trade.
We also have our shelf full of Nintendo stuff,
including the NES Classic, the Game Boy Color
that I unboxed a couple years ago,
as well as the Famicom, which is actually something
we did a video on and never posted.
And on this side, we have another
slightly more adorable Waifu, some Lego stuff,
thanks to Jimmy, we got a Delorean, PS3, Xbox.
It's a cool setup, but all this stuff on the side,
is just for show.
What really counts is what we have inside the console.
If you're wondering why I'm standing,
it's because there was a certain malfunction
with the couch, and it's now in eight pieces
right beside Ken.
Wa-wa-wa.
That sub is actually scaring me a little bit right now.
I feel like this is about to actually be loud.
(laughs)
Yo!
That sounds stupid.
Can you even hear me right now?
Okay, so this is actually really loud.
(laughs)
That sub has such a punch.
I've never heard a sound bar sound like this.
I am 100% surprised.
You know what it sounds like, especially with that bass?
This is gonna sound like a really weird comparison,
it sounds like listening to a movie theater.
Like it has that huge just punch.
Okay, so we didn't quite have time to get
everything wired up yet.
Even playing on the Xbox One at 1080o it looks nice.
It does sound good too.
- A few moments later.
- The neighbors literally just knocked.
(laughs)
All right, I'll turn it down, I'll turn it down.
I just love the story of this video.
We started out by saying I like using sound bars
because they don't annoy the neighbors.
Then it got really loud and annoyed the neighbors,
and now we got complaints.
(laughs)
Little tip guys, don't crank your sound bar
up to 100% volume when you're doing a video.
(laughs)
To be fair, that tells you that it actually
is really loud.
In case you were doubting me, it's, that's
pretty good proof.
