  • Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • I'm standing here in my home theater setup.

  • So a few months ago you might remember

  • we did a video going all over how we built this,

  • including the massive 120-inch LG projector behind me.

  • With a 120-inch screen, we're pushing our ProBeam

  • to its absolute limit.

  • Now, it definitely will work, however,

  • as with any projector, the larger the display area

  • that you're projecting on the less

  • light you have to spread across it.

  • So that on top of the fact that this is going

  • to be only 1080 means that it's time for an upgrade.

  • That's where this comes in, the LG CineBeam Laser 4K,

  • and, of course, huge shout out to LG

  • for sponsoring our setup yet again.

  • So one of the cool things about this is

  • that not only is it going to give us a full 4K resolution,

  • but also can go all the way up to a 150-inch screen,

  • more than enough power to handle our 120-inch display.

  • One of the main criticisms you guys had

  • of our last setup had to do with audio.

  • So right now we're using the SJ9 Sound Bar.

  • Don't get me wrong, it actually does sound pretty good,

  • especially considering how small it is,

  • but for a full home theater setup we need

  • to up the game just a little bit.

  • What's cool about this guy is

  • that it's in a very unusual shape.

  • It's definitely not going to come cheap,

  • but what you're getting here is something

  • that's going to be pretty portable

  • if you wanna actually move it around.

  • So I'm actually curious, I was able to take a look

  • at this guy at CES ah, there you go.

  • So if you wanna walk around with it,

  • not only does it have the built-in handle,

  • but it also has a power cable built in, I think, right?

  • Oh, yeah, look at that.

  • So the power cable just winds out,

  • so you don't even need to worry about anything.

  • If you wanna take this on like a,

  • I don't know, what do you do?

  • Go outside to a pool party or something?

  • So what's interesting about this guy is

  • that it actually is going to be in a really unique shape and

  • that's because they actually completely reoriented it

  • compared to most standard laser projectors.

  • I say standard as if laser projectors are all

  • over the place, but basically what they've done

  • is they flipped the entire thing up on its side.

  • So what you're actually doing is you're going

  • to be shooting everything off of this mirror

  • so everything can be much more compact,

  • and you're also going to be getting something

  • that is going to be handheld, somewhat.

  • I'm a little afraid that it's going

  • to be too tall for this setup.

  • We may actually have to move everything back.

  • - [Ken] Oh, that's depressing.

  • - Okay, so, it turns out that this projector

  • not exactly short-throw like the other one

  • or not as we expected, so.

  • - [Wes] It don't work right.

  • - It won't fill the screen like we thought.

  • - [Austin] The room's too small.

  • - The room's way too small, buy a bigger house.

  • - [Austin] Is this really the solution?

  • - [Wes] I think so.

  • - Yeah, this is, yeah, this is pretty comfortable.

  • - So it is day two and we have a little bit

  • of a better plan than yesterday.

  • So as opposed to doing the entire setup at my house

  • instead we're going to be doing it here at the office

  • where, you know, we have a room

  • that's larger than seven-feet wide.

  • So unlike with a ultra short-throw projector,

  • the CineBeam actually needs some space

  • to be able to give you the full size.

  • So technically we could have it a couple feet away,

  • but then the screen size would be like this big.

  • To actually get a full 100, 120, or even 150 inches,

  • you need to have this thing several feet away.

  • So, with that, I think it's time

  • to repurpose our old set, which we actually,

  • if you guys remember, this is where we used

  • to shoot all of our videos, and get ourselves a

  • proper office home theater setup that's

  • actually functional unlike what we did yesterday.

  • - So we just got the projector screen up,

  • we lowered the screen itself,

  • and I think the placement looks pretty good right now.

  • We have this console table

  • that we've had from our old setup.

  • We're gonna use it to hold all of our components.

  • - Okay, so, the AC is not currently working.

  • It's over 90 degrees in the office and yet work continues.

  • - [Austin] So what are we doing as far as audio goes?

  • - Okay, so basically we have a 5.1 setup right now.

  • So we have this Yamaha receiver.

  • It'll take all of our speakers, our subwoofer.

  • We got basically all Klipsch

  • just to kind of match everything.

  • And we also have this thing that'll hook up to our PC.

  • So it is a desktop DAC and headphone amp.

  • Really, what's interesting about this is that it comes

  • with a Blu-ray player, which is really weird.

  • I've never seen something like this before.

  • - [Austin] The real answer here is that you

  • picked a bunch of stuff that you want

  • for your own set up, you're gonna steal as soon

  • as this video's over, right? - Shh.

  • - One of the nice things about the CineBeam is

  • that we do have multiple options of setting it up.

  • So what I think I'm going to do is put it behind me here

  • on this table and just shoot across the couch,

  • but if you want to get a little bit more of a compact setup,

  • instead of using it with a mirror like this

  • you can actually just swivel the whole thing

  • out of the way and using the included stand

  • just adjust it and kinda angle it just about the way

  • you wanna look at it on the display.

  • One of the things I'm excited for is this Corsair Lapboard.

  • So we actually have a full wireless mechanical keyboard

  • with this weird trackball mouse.

  • This is actually really cool though.

  • So the whole thing is gonna be padded on the bottom.

  • So it's really meant more for actual gaming

  • than any kind of home theater use,

  • but the nice thing is you do still have a full-size

  • keyboard so you can pretty much do whatever you want.

  • The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the trackball mouse

  • just 'cause it's weird, but I think,

  • especially considering that I don't wanna have to be moving

  • all around here, it's a little bit easier to use.

  • So this is just the first version of this setup.

  • So right now we're going to be using

  • the latest Intel Skull Canyon NUC to power everything.

  • Now, with Radeon graphics inside we're gonna have more

  • than enough power to, of course, handle any kind

  • of 4K projection that we want,

  • but, importantly, it also is going to be capable

  • of some gaming, 'cause it's not exactly going

  • to be a dedicated gaming setup with a full projector,

  • but it is possible, and this PC will run everything

  • we need in a nice small package.

  • It is finally time to test the setup.

  • So the projector is fully up and running.

  • You can see it actually looks pretty decent

  • even though it is very bright in the room right now.

  • So the only thing left to do is

  • to press play and hope that everything works.

  • So a great test is going to be watching one

  • of our very first 4K HDR videos right off of YouTube.

  • Oh, man, it's so good. (video playing in background)

  • So I've watched this video I don't know how many times,

  • but I've actually never watched it

  • at full 4K HDR on a projector, oh, man.

  • Nope, nope, nope, nope.

  • Yup. (laughing)

  • Dude, this is so great.

  • I'm so happy with this right now.

  • Dude, it looks so good, especially considering it's 4K.

  • So we've got a pretty large screen here.

  • It'll go up to 150 inches, but right now we've got it

  • at around 120 inches with this display.

  • But, I mean, it is so sharp even when you

  • get right up close to it.

  • And something that's really surprising

  • to me is how bright it is.

  • So, I mean, it is not dark in here at all.

  • We've got the windows, we've got the top light,

  • and yet you can still see it is super, super bright.

  • This is great.

  • So, of course, if you guys wanna check out any

  • of this stuff the link will be in the description,

  • but if you excuse me, I'm gonna go

  • watch some videos on our super-cool new setup.

  • I'm just gonna crank the volume now.

Hey guys, this is Austin.
