this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service which done what livingroom gain full 5.5 inches in all that game this is 8 inch game oh yeah fifteen point six inches I didn't think it had come down to this let me show you what real living room gaming is like got enough food intro already just do it how they stay five inches why do you believe me I said 65 hello everyone I'm Dimitri with Hara Canucks and my face after in boxing this giant TV remain the same for the remainder of the time that I've spent with it the goal was to see how something of this size in my tiny living room would work as a daily driver for content but also explore all types of possibilities for gaming so the first thing to cover with the samsung series 8 65-inch 4k Smart TV is the physical tour and Here I am next to it for scale it's like a mini theater in your living room and notice that it is a flat panel and if you want to check out our experience with the curved 55 inch TV it will be linked in the description below now I'm absolutely impressed with just how thin these high-end TVs are not a little bit thicker closer to the center with this thin edge effect the brushed aluminum frame at the front is beautiful that's also curved around the bezel and it's completely plain without any unwanted stamps but a simple Samsung logo at the bottom Center without any ambient power lights and that s UHD indication in the top right the TV stand also falls in line with a beautiful simple design with that long front aluminum support that's incredibly low profile and the base extends all the way back because the front rail is more forward it kind of helps to sort of visually elevate the TV so it doesn't look like it's right on the surface now this su HD indication doesn't mean better resolution of UHD the native resolution here is 3840 by 2160 with support at 60 Hertz the su HD format is Samsung's way to promote their higher-end models with this extra marketing inclusion to say that 4k content looks more vibrant clearer and just process better with their su HD TVs this is an LED backlit TV which means black and white pixels won't compare to all a T but Samsung has done plenty to compensate for proper viewing experience with UHD dimming that controls brightness and contrast in multiple sections of the screen and viewing content with native color profile delivered natural colors with perfect white balance and I can say that because I made the video that I was watching so I know exactly what to look for in terms of connectivity at the back the ports include a USB 3.0 which is perfect to playback media off a USB storage below that is a one connect mini port that is a super convenient way to connect to the hub so you don't need to handle any connections behind the TV and just plug and play stuff off this hub furthermore we have a LAN port if you prefer to choose that over smart built-in Wi-Fi and finally components and video in Jack's with audio out for speakers back to the one connect mini that is covered with brushed aluminum nice touch and this hub is pretty small here is next to d1 plus 2 for scale on the side we find a pair of USB 2.0 ports and on the back or HDMI 2.0 that are all hdcp 2.2 compliant then there's the optical audio and mini connect port for the TV but it was time to start gaming on this thing and I hooked up the shield Android TV which is capable of 4k video streaming and has got some pretty awesome titles running off the shield itself like half-life 2 that was a pleasure to play through although I'm no good with the controller but here the 1080p signal off the game was up scaled with no artifacts that I could see and so for any console players 720p upscale signal will look fairly sharp from a couch distance but for optimal detail 1080p or higher is of course recommended Talos principle just came out on a shield and getting try that game up scaled look fantastic and here the framerate wasn't so great an enabling game mode on the TV allows for slightly smoother picture and it actually reduces import lag that is otherwise felt but to experience true 4k gaming I had to pull out the big guns my SLI gaming station that you can check out the review of in the description below now I want to find out how the TV would handle itself and that PC environment and enabling game mode and jumping into gta5 the world inside the game was truly beautiful at 4k resolution plus at 60 Hertz it helps to achieve good enough refresh rate for this game although I still could feel a little bit input lag from the controller so I won't be playing any first-person shooters with this TV in my living room and I'm not talking about any competitive shooters but the mouse aim is just not what I'm used to however racing games on the size is fantastic letting me enjoy the large-scale environment and the view from the cockpit like I'm right there plus the slight input lag wasn't much of an issue here my gaming experience both on the Nvidia shield and the PC were satisfactory for the refresh rate vivid colors and rich contrasts and watching native 4k YouTube content was absolutely beautiful the anti-glare coating on my setting in my tiny living room that is struggled to keep off the reflections and in a brightly lit room the TV brightness was fine and reflections in the dark areas of the screen were muted but still noticeable and so what I wanted to get out of this experience is whether or not we are ready to start talking about 4k gaming in the living room utilizing a multi-purpose smart TV like this one for entertainment which i think is the future of living-room gaming and while very demanding still to drive games at 4k the upscale engines in these TVs is really good with satisfying results and everything about this model indicates sort of future proofing your investment in the way everything is handled from the convenient mini Kinect hub the amazing uniformity of such a large screen the multiple ways to handle color presentation and the Smart Remote that lets you interact with all the menus seamlessly plus the built-in smart hub is there although in my experience it comes out disappointing with just lack of content and apps and so the way we're noticing these TVs to emerge with multi-use is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed the Series eight model and I cannot wait to try out the next Generation TVs so guys I hope you enjoyed this video all the relevant content will be linked in the description below give us a like if you want to see more videos like this I'm Dimitri
