So personally, I think the solution to all the world's problems is education. If kids
can keep their minds active and learning when they're young, they turn into smart, responsible
adults. Today I'm at my local boys and girls club which is a safe place for kids to come
and keep their minds active and productive in their down time. And at this boys and girls
club, they left the facility today with a TV this size. And they'll be returning tomorrow
with a TV this size. This is an 86 inch LG NanoCell TV, and I'll be mounting it on this
wall for the kids. It should be pretty fun – especially in a room this size. The large
TV will fit perfectly. The boys and girls club is a national organization that's been
around for about 100 years. And since it's a second home to a lot of kids, they are definitely
deserving of a new TV. Huge thanks to LG for sponsoring this video. Let's get started.
[Intro]
*Razor cutting noise*
Unboxing the TV is easy enough. LG makes it easy with just one piece of tape along the
top. And then 6 of these little black plastic things that hold the two halves of the cardboard
together. Once each of those are out the two halves can fall apart and the TV is very well
protected with a bunch of white Styrofoam...and a giant metallic bag...which keeps the aliens
from commandeering the TV during transit. Actually I have no idea, but it looks cool.
Even without turning it on I think the kids are going to be pretty pumped to replace their
current unit with this one.
So inside the box, the TV does come with little legs of its own, but we are going to mount
it to the wall to kind of keep it out of arm's reach and to have it, you know, a little more
permanent and out of the way.
So the back of this mammoth TV has 4 screw holes right here. And then over here I've
already put this bracket in place. And then this bracket is the thing that clips onto
the wall after we take that mini TV down. The little black spacers are to make sure
that the screws don't go through too far or too deep, because if they go too deep they
might damage the screen.
Looks like their wall used to be purple. Now the whole wall will almost be black.
So if you were going to install this TV in like a theater room or something, normally
you want the TV to be eye level with wherever you're sitting so you're not straining your
neck to like look up at it or anything like that. But since this is going in an area where
people are going to be standing for one, and there's lots of kids around, we want it to
be at least four and a half feet from the ground. So we're going to install it a little
bit higher than we normally would in your theater room.
Alright, so we have currently found the center of the wall and we have the height that we
want the top of the mount to be. Now we're just going to level the mount so the TV will
be level and we're done with it. So in the past you've seen me mount TVs on like a normal
wall with a wood backing. This wall is made out of concrete blocks, which is a totally
different ball game. This is a carbide tip drill bit and we're using a hammer drill to
make the holes for the bracket. The difference between a hammer drill and a regular drill
is that a regular drill just turns around. A hammer drill actually hammers at the same
time it's rotating – which is extremely useful when we're trying to go through concrete.
I'll put a piece of tape around the drill bit so I don't actually drill too deep.
[Drill sounds]
So the mount is currently hanging on the wall. It has been tested to 500 pounds. The bolts
we put in there are way beyond that, and the TV only weighs 115. So we should be plenty
safe up there. Now it's time to lift it up and hang it.
Oh wow. Higher. I'm in, you in?
[Riley] Think so.
[Zack] Double check.
[Riley] It's not falling.
[Zack] Woo! Alright, it is on the wall and so much bigger than the one that was here
before. It's pretty crazy. So one thing that is nice about hanging it is that there are
these little Styrofoam things on the sides. You don't want to put too much pressure on
the screen as you're lifting it up. Most of the pressure needs to be underneath and behind
because those are much more structural and not as fragile.
Moment of truth. There we go!
So at the beginning of this video I said this was a NanoCell TV, which means it's a bit
different technology than what we've seen on OLEDs in the past. This particular technology
is made up of a nanoparticle filter which kind of refines the projected image and makes
what you see right here in 4K. That nanoparticle filter is able to filter out and reduce the
impure colors and just leave behind the true colors that are more vivid and color accurate.
It's similar to the LCD screen technology where it has the projected image in the front,
and a back light behind it. The back light is still LED so it's still power efficient
and has realistic colors, and still projects its 4K image at 120 hertz. Which, if you've
been paying attention to modern cell phones, 120 hertz is a really fast refresh rate. Plus,
with the speakers built directly into the TV right behind the image, it gives the sound
a more 3-dimensional effect.
So actually I kind of lied about LG donating a TV to the boys and girls club...cuz they're
not just donating one TV, they are actually donating two because the NanoCell TV also
comes in 8K. This is a 75 inch 8K NanoCell TV and it's going to a different boys and
girls club that's also nearby. But I think they're going to be pretty excited about this
one. That same NanoCell technology with the nano particle filter in front can be condensed
down to display even more pixels. 8K resolution has quadruple the pixels of a 4K screen, which
is pretty impressive. And NanoCell is more economically priced than some of the other
TVs that we've seen. So if you're looking for a massive TV for your home theater setup
or living room, NanoCell might just be the way to go. Since there's not a whole lot of
content that's actually filmed in 8K resolution, LG has stuck in an A9Gen3 AI processor that
does the upscaling from regular 1080p or 4K images and kind of changes them into 8K so
everything just looks better.
Huge thanks to LG for sponsoring this video and for donating two massive TVs to a good
cause. I'm sure the boys and girls at the boys and girls club are going to appreciate
it greatly. Now I'm going to box this one up and take it down to the other facility.
I'll leave a link down in the description if you want to check out the current pricing
of the 4K or 8K NanoCell.
If you have any questions leave them down in the comments. Come hang out with me on
Instagram and Twitter. And thanks a ton for watching. I'll see you around.
