My Gaming & Home Theater Setup - v1.0! #Helpful Post

Hey guys this is Austin. Welcome to my new gaming and home theater setup. The star of

the show is absolutely the Samsung Curved SUHD TV and I’ve got to give a big shoutout

to Samsung for sponsoring this video. At 65 inches this really fills out the setup but

there’s more to it than just the look, with a 4K Quantum Dot panel it’s hard to argue

with the picture quality. The color is on point and it gets surprisingly bright, even

in a relatively well lit room it holds up and a lot of it is thanks to the HDR 1000

tech to really maximize dynamic range. Paired with the Quantum Dot display you’re getting

solid color accuracy. As a TV in 2016 it of course has smart TV features and while I usually

end up just ignoring these Tizen on the 9 Series is actually pretty quick. Something

cool is that you’ve also got PlayStation Now built-in, pair a DualShock 4 with the

TV and you’re ready to play. As with all cloud gaming setups this is reliant on having

a decent internet connection but I was pleasantly surprised at how usable it was even over Wi-Fi.

You can rent games individually or subscribe to play the entire catalog and there’s a

decent selection of some of the best games on the PlayStation 3, it’s a nice addition

to the TV and you’ve also got the option of using Gamefly streaming as well. Gaming

on it is solid as you’d expect and with a coax input I was even able to go old school

with an Intellivision to get some retro gaming in on a 65 inch TV. The remote is simple and

clean too with voice commands that actually work and there are cool little features like

the TV automatically recognizing what’s connected to the inputs. I also set up my

gaming PC which for now is the Hadron, it outputs a clean 4K signal to the TV which

not only works for video but also gaming, especially when it’s paired with an Xbox

controller it works well as a 4K couch gaming setup. Speaking of my main gaming console

is actually the Xbox One. It might not perfect but there are quite a few Xbox exclusives

I enjoy such as the Forza series. For audio I use a Samsung J450 Soundbar, not only does

it pack a serious punch for being so tiny but it also has a wireless subwoofer which

I’ve got off to the side and the entire audio setup turns on and off automatically

along with streaming audio wirelessly. It might be a small thing but when it comes to

all of this tech in a single setup cable management is a serious task. To help everything pop

a little I’ve got an Osram LED strip run behind the TV, not only can the color be changed

but it just does a lot to make everything look cool. Making sure everything stays running

nice and smoothly is the Google OnHub router, I live in an apartment with a ton of Wi-Fi

networks and the OnHub does a killer job of cutting through the noise to keep a consistent

signal going. I’ve also got most of my console collection out on display, I haven’t worked

out a way to get all of these consoles connected at once mostly out of fear for the enormous

cable job but it’s easy enough to hook something up when I want to play. Probably my favorite

console ever is the lime green Game Boy Color and I actually did an unboxing of this one

brand new a little while back but nothing brings back memories faster than some Pokemon

Red. I have a few unopened consoles around, mostly from picking them up outdated as they

were on clearance like this PSP and PlayStation TV along with a couple DS models. I’ve also

got the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy edition out on display, I’m usually not one for collectors editions

but they absolutely suckered me in on this one. I’ve still got a lot more work to do

here but sometimes I’m just happy to take a step back and enjoy the setup as a whole.

So what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below especially if you have

any suggestions for future upgrades, this is only version 1.0.
