The 120" 4K
Home Theater Setup #Helpful Post
hey
guys Boston 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
Provine
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
Sena beam laser 4k and of course huge
shout
it to LG for sponsoring our set up
yet
again so 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 set up had to do
with
audio so right now we're using the
sj9
sound bar go 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 want to
actually
move it around so I'm actually
curious
I was able to take a look at
this
guy and see yes oh there you go
so
if you want to 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 whines out
so
you don't even need to worry about
anything
if you want to take this on
like
I don't know what do you do you 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 reorient it
compared
to most standard laser
projectors
I say standard is that laser
projectors
are all over the place but
basically
what they've done is they flip
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 okay so it turns out
that
this projector not exactly
short-throw
like the other one or not as
we
expect it so it won't fill the screen
like
we thought the Rings do small their
weights
useful by bigger house that's
really
the solution so it is day two and
we
have a little bit of a better plan
than
yesterday so the pose doing the
entire
set up 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
sin
of being actually needs some space
to
be able to give you the full size so
technically
we could have it a couple
feet
away within the screen size would
be
like this big do you actually get a
full
hundred hundred and twenty 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
you
actually if you guys remember is
where
we used to shoot all of our videos
and
get ourselves a proper office home
theater
setup that's you know 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 set up 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 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 clips
just
to kind of match everything and we
also
have this thing that will 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
the
real answer here is that you picked
a
bunch of stuff that you want for your
own
setup you're gonna steal as soon as
this
video is over right one of the nice
things
about the center beam 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 more of a compact
set
up instead of using it with the
like
this you actually just swivel the
whole
thing out of the way and using the
included
stand just adjust it and kind
of
angle it just about the way you want
to
look at it on the display one of the
things
I'm excited for is this Corsair
lap
board 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
Inc
have 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
cuz it's weird but I think
especially
considering that I want to
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 nook to power
everything
now with Radeon graphics
inside
we're going to have more than
that
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 this is not
exactly
going to be a dedicated gaming
setup
with the full projector but it is
possible
and this PC will run everything
we
need and 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 only thing left to do
is
to press play and hope that
everything
works so great test is going
to
be watching one of our very first 4k
HDR
videos right off of youtube and then
so
good so I've watched this video I
don't
know how many times but I've
actually
never watched it at full 4k HDR
and
a projector oh man no no yep this is
so
great I'm so happy with this right
now
dude it looks so good especially
considering
its 4k so we've got a pretty
large
screen here it'll go up to 150
inches
but right now we've got it around
120
inches with this display but I mean
it's
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 as
super
super bright this is great
so
of course if you guys might check out
any
of the stuff the link will be in the
description
but if you excuse me I'm
gonna
go watch some videos on a super
cool
new setup I'm just gonna crank the
volume
now
